Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Trailer
Rakkis writes "A new Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trailer is available on the frontpage of Amazon.com. From IMDb: "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy follows the travels of Arthur Dent (Martin Freeman), who is saved from the demolition of the Earth by his pal Ford Prefect (Mos Def). Ford is really an alien doing research for an updated edition of the universe's ultimate travel companion, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." -- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy opens April 29th.""
Is that where white-trash aliens live?
It looks much like the "old" trailer. Nothing to see here, move along...
you had me at #!
Would you consider this a date movie? If so, which Linux distro does your date prefer? =-)
Strangely enough, my girlfriend (real live person; not a blow-up doll) likes H2G2 enough to sit through the movie. She also prefers Windows although the virus that infected her computer the other day might change that perception.
Plant a tree in a developing country.
Golly. Wonder why so many people still use that bug-ridden, security nightmare called IE.
Not related, though

You fuckin' kidding me?!
Someone like Amazon writes me a check for the EXCLUSIVE rights to premiere the trailer online, it's MY responsibility to take action against other sites who *illegally* offer that same content.
Fuck harry in his fat ass. I am tired of people appropriating content that they don't own only to have dipshits like you come along and blame the studio for protecting their intellectual property.
Pull your head out of your ass.
Mos Def is actually a very accomplished and talented stage actor.
Won't be seeing this one.
Liar.
Glad to see that "moving to Canada" cliche is working for Michael. Is there NO ENVIRONMENT in which he can be safe to continue his holy mission of spreading his unique brand of enlightenment?
All things are possible with everything.

Bite me, Eisner.
Given how insanely wealthy he is from 10^24 stock options over 2 decades, and his penchant for diabolical schemes that Machiavelli would be proud of, I'd suggest not publishing a direct challenge to him in an open forum...
Should he ever be inclined, he could buy your house, your neighbours' houses, the company you work for, plus the companies of all your friends/family, and ensure you never have shelter nor employment ever again. To add insult to injury he'd bury you in legal paperwork for specious reasons from now until the end of eternity. And it would cost him the equivalent of a rounding-error on a weekly paycheque (for him).

I don't really mind the exclusivity clause.
What I have a problem with is the fact that, instead of providing it in a decent format and proper frame size so that anyone could view it, snag it to their desktop, they deliberately tried to make it un-downloadable (at least until somebody posts the file name, at which point I'm sure Slashdot will get another cease-and-desist letter for linking it that way).
Putting the file out in crappy resolution, in a shitty encoding format, and deliberately making it hard to enjoy the trailer don't help their cause. Disney should know this by now. Hell, even Apple have finally fixed the problems quicktime used to have.
The only way Disney could have done anything worse would have been to release it as a Realplayer file.

There are a few good questions skeptics ask: Why is it mentioned only in one of the Gospels? Why is there no record of said Roman Census? Why was he "Jesus of Nazareth" if he was born in Bethlahem? Why on Earth would a carpenter who worked in Nazereth (namely Joseph) go to Bethlahem to pay taxes?
I don't take a stand on the matter, personally.

# Troll -- A Troll is similar to Flamebait, but slightly more refined. This is a prank comment intended to provoke indignant (or just confused) responses. A Troll might mix up vital facts or otherwise distort reality, to make other readers react with helpful "corrections." Trolling is the online equivalent of intentionally dialing wrong numbers just to waste other people's time.
Internet troll
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
An internet troll is a person who sends duplicitous messages hoping to get angry responses, or a message sent by such a person. The term derives from the phrase "trolling for newbies" and ultimately from trolling for fish; it first appeared on Usenet. The term is frequently abused to slander opponents in heated debates and is frequently misapplied to those who are ignorant of etiquette
# Flamebait -- Flamebait refers to comments whose sole purpose is to insult and enrage. If someone is not-so-subtly picking a fight (racial insults are a dead giveaway), it's Flamebait.
Flamebait
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Flamebait (aka TrollBait) is a message posted to an Internet discussion group, such as a newsgroup or a mailing list, with the intent of provoking an angry response (a "flame").

Well, here's the quicktime directly...
Much better.
wouldn't that be the iRobot, and wasn't there a film with that title, which wasn't related to a book with the same title, released last year?

It's only publishers who think that people own it.

I like how you consistently pretend that you weren't the troll. Especially after:
Unwavering denial and systematic attack of the the other side... you've been to the Karl Rove School Of Communication, haven't you?
