Journal insanecarbonbasedlif's Journal: HHGTTG - discussion 25
From the front page, there is a new trailer at Amazon for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
This is definately a notch more informative than the first teaser trailer, which had no actors or dialogue on screen, just a voiceover of some CG. I like what I see so far, but of course, I would go see this movie even if it looked terrible. I just like Adams' books that much. I won't be first in line on April 29th, though, I always go to the theater at least two weeks after opening, if not a month later. Less of a rush, easier to find good seating, and all that.
Anyhow, what do you all think of it? Zaphod's head, Marvin's cute astheatic(sp?)? Any of you going to see it? Opening weekend? Not going to see it? Why not?
This calls for a poll:

My wife started reading Adams, but just didn't get into it. Of course, she likes the bits that I share with her, but she doesn't really like it as a cohesive literary experience.

Of course, all of the above were British because Douglas Adams was an englishman and his characters appeal to those who understand British culture. Arthur Dent is the archetypical englishman thrust into exactly the sort of situations that an englishman is not raised to cope with.

just kidding.
I don't even know if it is done with post-production yet.
When is it due out?
Because I'm too lazy to find out for myself.
I'll probably go if/when my pack of friends wants to go.
I'm halfway dreading it because Disney produced it.
(Keeping fingers crossed though.)
