I saw the trailer with no footage from the movie in the cinema yesterday. It certainly made it feel reassuring for those who worry that the movie may lose touch with the HHGTTG low budget roots.
This one? So much better.
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Stephen Fry and Alan Rickman are so perfectly cast. I love it.

That trailer rocks so hard. It has everything: Zaphod, sperm whales, Vogons, explosions, and towels. I have serious hopes that this film does well, even for those who are HGttG newbies.

Sadly, I can't get that trailer to play for me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The trailer played about ten seconds for me and then died.
eta: OK, saw the whole thing.
And, yay!!!

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Gandalfe, did you download it onto your own computer?

Ooh, it's been updated. It's all shiny now.
I was terrible at that game, back in the day. I vaguely remember how to get out of the house, but after that, it's all a blur.

Tried to, but it wouldn't come down. Dunno if it's that I'm at work - I'll try at home.
