@achewood The bus is crossing Klickitat St., home of Ramona Quimby. It's pretty swank these days. No sign of Nosmo King.

OK, I've posted a lot today, because of the not posting for awhile, and also the drinking. Stephen Fry rules. It's just that simple. Having said that, haven't we covered this? CJ?

I think there may have been a thread about the movie happening, but I created a new one seeing as there were suddenly a glut (well, two) of trailers that actually renewed my hope in it being watchable.

Plus, indeed, Fry rules. I have been watching A Bit of Fry and Laurie lately, as well as Jeeves and Wooster (he certainly makes the perfect Jeeves). I like not watching TV, as it lets me watch good TV instead.

Jeeves and Wooster, Black Adder, and the underappreciated work in the Young Ones. Stephen Fry is a stud. Plus, he's written books!

I caught a frame of a falling whale in one of the trailers I watched.  Excellent!  Also, they pulled off Zaphod having two heads.  That is wonderful.  Simply wonderful.  I'm unabashedly looking forward to this movie.  After all the different renditions, it's not like this one movie can screw the whole thing up.

I'm pretty much looking forward to this. No, I'm totally looking forward to this. But Marvin is going to take a little getting used to. He's so short and squishy. Oh well. I'm really excited about Zooey Deschanel as Trillian.

I was only convinced after reading r_r_c's comment that he looked like a depressed Apple product. The design made some kind of sense to me after that.

That's what I said when I first read the cast list oh-so-long-ago.

That does make it somewhat better.

I saw a paperback of the Ultimate Hitchikers Guide at B&N last night: all of the books, plus "Young Zaphod Makes Good." I might pick it up, since all of my copies have disappeared in those dastardly mists of time. It's like 17 bucks, which I think is probably a good deal.

I got that in hardback about 6 years ago an it is wonderfully convenient. Plus it looks all impressive, like you're reading The Odyssey or something.

Zooey was also the older sister in Almost Famous.

She's hell of cute.

Oh yeah. I meant to add that in there. I'm totally crushing on her. And Thora Birch.

This thread has allayed great concerns I once had for the upcoming movie sucking so hard it ate my soul. I feel pessimistically optomistic now, leveled with a dose lethargic ambivalence. Mos Def still rings wrong for me, but what the hells and all.


This is exactly how I felt in the run up to Lord of the Rings.  That one, it turns out blew me away.  I think it's ok to raise your expectations.  It's gonna be good, have faith.

The official site is live. I like the little Marvin in the corner. They also get points for using a Bjork song in the background.[/url]

Some dude in my math class did a project related to first weekend box office proceeds.  He showed the trailer for this movie, and I guess he's organizing a class outing Friday night, right after the final.  It's a weird class.  I'll probably go if I don't have to work, mainly because it's been quite a while (for me, anyway) since I've been to a movie in a theatre.

Has anyone seen it yet?

Nope. I really need to sort something out and go see it. I guess I am off on Monday, but I doubt I will get anything organised for this weekend. It won't get to this shitty little town for another couple of months, and nothing's worth seeing on the screen here!
