Ask 'Hitchhiker's Guide' Exec. Producer Robbie Stamp

Posted by timothy on from the time-to-get-the-hang-of-thursdays dept.

After nearly three years of waiting, the movie version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is almost upon us. I've been impressed with the casting, and with the trailers I've seen of the film -- enough that I'm taking the rather unhappy early review posted the other day with a large grain of salt. Now's your chance to ask whatever you'd like of Robbie Stamp, the film's executive producer; we'll pass on to Robbie some of the best questions and publish his answers as soon as he gets them back to us. (As usual, please -- confine yourself to one question per post.)

    What is the Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything?

    It had to be asked.

      Yes, but nobody would write a joke in Base 13. It just isn't funny.

      Yes, but nobody would write a joke in Base 13. It just isn't funny.

      But you shouldn't take that to mean that only jokes in base 10 are funny.

      You know why programmers confuse Halloween and Christmas? Because OCT 31 = DEC 25.

      And no, you're wrong, that really is funny.

  3. Mattresses by publicenemy23 · · Score: 5, Funny

    On a scale of 1-23, how challenging was the task of casting mattresses for the part of Zem the Mattress? I mean, I've never even seen a talking mattress, I've only read about them in books. Do they have a seperate guild in Los Angeles, or do you have to go abroad to find talent? Enquiring minds want to know.

  4. Oh eBay .... by EnronHaliburton2004 · · Score: 5, Funny

    I like how eBay tries to sell me '42' items when I search google for 42:

    Huge selection, great deals on 42 items.

  5. Re:Zaphod's Head by selectspec · · Score: 5, Funny
    Is Zaphod's other head in his chest because of midichlorians, you bastard?

    A better way to phrase this question:

    Once you decided to rape Duglass Adam's by shitting on his original text with countless corruptions, perversions, and flat out misrepresentations such as the hiding of Zaphod's head in the chest, did you feel that a special circle in hell would be reserved for your eternal torment or that your punishment would take the form of some extreme bowel torture here on Earth?
