Great leaping Zarquons

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.

OK, that looks like a LOT of fun. Much better than the BBC production, which, frankly -- heretical as this opinion may be -- I thought was crap. Typical BBC sci-fi production values, which is to say, "We had a budget of 200 quid per episode." Zaphod's second head looked like it had been dropped oh its ... um ... dropped WAY too many times when it was young, and Marvin looked like an overgrown version of one of those cheap wind-up tin toys that would trundle along emitting sparks and grinding noises for about ten seconds before slowing to a halt and (usually) falling over.
