Don't Panic

[Mattigus]

Has anybody seen the trailer for "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"? I saw the trailer, but never read the book. I've always wanted to read it, and seeing that trailer spurred me to buy the book and read it. I feel kind of sad doing it, though, considering I read a book based on the fact a movie would be made out of it (but I always wanted to read it...) At least it isn't as sad as watching the movie, THEN reading the book.

Is anybody else excited about this movie?

 

[CyberSh33p]

yeah, that was posted here a while ago I'm excited as hell, I love that[those] book[books]

everytime i watch that trailer i get a chill down my spine, if it's done properly (hopefully) it will own your pance, my pance, and my cat's pance into the next dimension.

But yeah, I want to see that/those.

possibly the best book(s) ever. Douglas Adams is one of my heroes and is a genious those books are actually based on a series of radio episodes based on the same events (that DA came up with) <3 Hitchhikers guide

Heh, perhaps the humour of it was lost on you

I like how Earth is destroyed so a Hyperspace route can be paved through it, then 5 minutes later they discover technology that renders Hyperspace routes obsolete. Sucks for the Earth, man.

Pfft, cuz Americans are better, that's why (I'm kidding, I'm kidding, please don't hate me )

I remember hearing Douglas Adams saying that the only character that HAD to be British was Arthur Dent. Anyone else really didn't matter I guess (I mean, they're all aliens.)

By the sounds of it not only lost but never found in a sock drawer in granny's house.


How anyone can't like the books/radio play/TV series/(will see about the film) is beyond me
