Trailer

Righto. With so many brits and fellow Douglas Adams fans I just HAD to post this up.

I'm bringing my towel. Hope it doesn't bomb - but it ought to be good.

btw, I leave for awhile and cantus is reaching 10k posts. My I ought to come back to HoP more often - expect a video soon!

Just as soon as I get antispin flower turns w/ glowsticks down.

I thought it was a fancy dress party and he put something over the second head and told everyone it was a parrot inside, perched on his shoulder.
I'll have to go look, it'll drive me nuts otherwise. heh, any excuse to read it again

They havn't, as far as I'm aware, I was just using them as examples of when the colour of an actor's skin would be quite important.

what we have here is an inconsistancy on the behalf of the author. i think originally, he had planned that zaphod had aquired the second head in the same manner as the third arm, but then in the second book his great grandfather had two head as well. so, in the fifth book he said that he had diguised it in a bird cage. so, yeah, originally there was no mention of him having a second head, but it was sorted out in the end

Arthur is english its an english actor (hes in The Office and Love Actually).
But the original arthur was very dull (as he should have been) but the new actor will liven it up (which he shouldnt).

And Zaphod does have 2 heads, watch the trailer

What's the 5th book? The "trilogy" is made up of 4 parts (i googled it)

yeah! it's tim form the office, i think he might be quite good actually. I only got to see the first 30 seconds or so because the clip cut out, but it all looks pretty groovy to me! it didn't get as far as zaphod so i couldn't count his heads... but he is meant to have two.

the trilogy is a trilogy of four parts flame boy, but it is also a trilogy of five parts as there is another book called "Mostly Harmless" that was written about hitchhikers guide but later and so i think most people have ignored it... it's a while since i read it myself but i vaguely recall it's quite far removed from the original set of characters (can anyone verify this for me...? is it about arthur and his son/daughter can't remember which...?) which is possibly why some folk don't count it as part of the trilogy...

And that's what they'll have done to HHGTTG - Disneyfied and Americanised it. The beauty of the books and radio play AND TV version is the sheer Britishness of them - they're not slick and clever but quirky and gently odd ball (apart from intergalactic Gargleblasters of course ).

This looks like it's going to play on the special effects not the dialogue and social comment - Arthur Dent's well cast, but I don't hold out much hope for the rest of it. Don't think I'll be busting a gut to go see it - must dust off my copy and re-read it tho, tho I think someone 'borrowed' Restaurant
