Disney is making a film from it, after all!

1. I predict the film version will be a disservice to the book
THHGTTG was about the only thing left unspoiled by Disney.

Ugh.

4. Are you talking about the TV series?
Yeah, it was pretty bad. Zaphod's papier maché head wasn't too convincing..

5. Yeah, actually. It looked like a B-movie.
I tried watching it, too. Couldn't keep my attention.

3. I'm concerned about Mos Def as Ford Prefect.
I've been a HHGTTG fan ever since the original radio broadcasts. I just saw the teaser trailer this weekend... I'm not sure what to think.

Can't Disney leave ANYthing alone?

Time to pull out the old radio tapes again.

Oh...and btw...did anyone hear the new BBC broadcasts of "The Tertiary Phase of THHGTTG? :)

They're all done for now...but they'll be back.
