I don't care what it's about.
I've seen this movie.
I have this movie :-)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I mean something like this which I'd call just a basic part of the premise of H2G2 - is that a spoiler?
I'd say it's a spoiler because it's a major change from the books if Zaphod's only got one head for 2/3 of the film.

LOVE.
Who's playing Zaphod?

I saw The Stepford Wives last night.
It was different from what I expected. Nowhere near as scary as the original, which was good, because I prefer not to be scared. Also, I enjoyed the ending this time, which was also nice. And it was very pretty. I wasn't 100% down with the crazy strong empowerment woman / doormat husband theme, but I like the general idea behind it. I also enjoyed all the funny. There was lots of funny. And pretty.
And now I want to take a Claireobics class.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Who's playing Zaphod?
I can't find a good picture of Mos Def to articulate why he's a perfect Ford. But he is.
Martin Freeman will be Arthur, Bill Nighy, Slartibartfast, and Zooey Deschanel as Trillian.

I'm startled by how okay/happy I am with the casting of something that's lived in my head for more than half my life. First LotR, now this. Some casting directors are definitely earning their money. Shame about Constantine.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I really should bring one of my high school yearbooks in to work and scan in his little bitty baby freshman picture, shouldn't I?

JZ, dooooo eeeeeeet. (I think I did know that you'd gone to HS with him, but anyway, I'd forgotten, so: very cool!)

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
How can it be a spoiler to comment on whether a fundamental piece of a story has been abandoned for the movie version. Zaphod has two heads and if they've made him without two heads, then talking about it is no more a spoiler than calling Jackson a wanker for deleting Tom Bombadil from FotR, while adding lengthy scenes of Isengard/Saruman that didn't exist in the book.
