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.

Okay, got to point out that my main concern isn't the actor (though the Ford Prefect was a distinctively British automobile), but the massive revisions Disney has reportedly performed to Adams' script, which was completed quite a long time ago. I'll opt out on this one, since to me it's like making a DaiRanger into a Power Ranger, but if you do go to see it, I hope you have fun! That is, after all, the point. Well, that and greasing corporate mofo palms.
