New trailer for The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy

The anal retentives are going to have a field day with this.

"But Ford's blaaaaaack! The Heart Of Gold isn't a shooooooe!"

I won't even get into the Zaphod whinging that will undoubtedly happen. Besides, I don't recall the book saying whether Ford was white, black, green, or puce.

Here's a clue-by-four, meatsacks: it's just a movie. I'd rather they get the story right than slavishly pour over every last detail and make sure it matches description by description.

"But there's too much aaaaaaaaction!"

It's a trailer, numbnuts. Either wait until you actually see the movie before you condemn it, or shut the fuck up and let those of us who don't have our heads up our asses enjoy it.

"But the music isn't Journey Of The Sorrrrrrrrrcerer!"

Please don't make me strangle you.

He wrote Zaphod's head that way? That it kind of lifts up from his neck and pushes the other head out of the way? It's kind of hard to see exactly what happens in the trailer. But I don't remember that. But I've listened to the radio series (which came first) more than I've read the book. The radio series really didn't have a description other than the fact that he has two heads.

But, it's a movie. It's a new interpretation, or an old one. Whatever. I'm still going to see it.

He wrote it like that *for the movie*. He wrote most of the script before he died.

Ah! I misunderstood you! You're right, of course.
