Also, he called it a "great show."
Illyria: Wesley's dead. I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence. Spike: Well, wishes just happen to be horses today.

I can't even.
He shrugged and whispered, "Honey, I think it's a drug thing."
Bwah! So grateful I had just finished my coffee (which is a drug thing because it got my rusty brain wheels turning enough to finish this costing in time for my meeting).
I agree, I thought HHGTTG was ubiquitous, but it was probably just in the circles I operated in.
This strikes me as exactly what godparents are supposed to do.
Totally what Ginger said.

Bet he's totally in it for the Clex.
I grew up thinking HHGTTG was vast and obvious and ubiquitous, but I'm beginning to think possibly not so much.
See, I thought that, too. And I think in the 80s/early 90s, it was closer to the surface of the mainstream or something, or more people who'd read it remembered details. But damn it, I got my sister towels for her 42nd birthday, and she didn't get the joke! I had to explain it. I know she's at least seen the TV series, and probably read the books, but 20 years have allowed those memories to fade from her mind.
Oh well. At least they were nice towels.

I should probably read HHGTTG, huh?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Probably.

Signs point to yes. For the vogon poetry alone!

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
In other words, yes, Teppy, read it now.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I also loved The Life Aquatic and don't get the criticisms that (a) Bill Murray phoned in his performance, or (b) the movie was cold and flat (aside from the usual Wes Anderson super deadpan tone, which was more evident to me in Tenenbaums anyway). Loved Willem Dafoe's surly yet sensitive Klaus, Cate's gum-popping and Proust reading, Owen's southern courtliness. Loved loved the acoustic-Portugese Bowie covers. Loved loved the faux science and Henry Selick's animations of Crayon Ponyfish and Sugar Crabs. The only thing I didn't like was the plot twist at the end which seemed random and unnecessary.
I can't help but feel the movie was judged less on its merits than expectations. Perhaps Tenenbaums looked great after Rushmore because it had expanded his range and pallette, whereas this feels like Andersonian schtick. I don't know - but I enjoyed it and look forward to rewatching it on DVD.
