I remember the radio Marvin being rather Rickman-ish -- very deep, very British.
Plus Rickman can do the "I'm so painfully bored" overtones that Marvin needs.
I can handle the Oz Full Monty. I mean, not 'handle' handle.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Okay, now I know what I'm spending my Borders gift card from Xmas on--the complete HGttG set of books. I haven't read them in years.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I actually got the leather-bound "Complete" Hitchhiker's Guide book years and years ago, this was before the release of Mostly Harmless, I need to break it out and re-read it at some point. I have no desire to find a copy of Mostly Harmless, though. When I read it it felt very much like Adams went "There, I ended it. Now stop bugging me for more HH books."

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
I have probably owned more copies of the Hitchhiker's Trilogy than any other book(s). I can think offhand of about 6 different versions I owned before reequeen and I got together, and we've been through about 3 more. We currently have 2, one of them in a compleate hardbound edition, one in each individual paperback, as well as the original radio scripts.

I have this one too. And the paperbacks. And the radio show, and the tv show.

I dunno if he is a bit overexposed
Hands up with everybody who would be happy with a great deal more Rickman-exposure, and I mean that in both the porn and non-porn senses.
I thought so.

Yes, but do you have the newly-recorded THIRD BBC radio show?

No... but I have the Radio Times with the ginormous article about it. Does that count?

I ordered it from amazon.co.uk.
I have been buying books for comfort as well as eating for comfort. Now I am having to buy clothes for discomfort.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Rickman is an excellent choice for Marvin, IMO, but there is one thing that bothers me.
Any bets as to when the first Harry Potter/HHGTG badfic crossovers will start showing up?

It's a way back, but Aimee, I totally cried at 50 First Dates this week. And it wasn't the first time!!!
I'm not stable. Sandler, for chrissake.
