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.

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.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

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.

Just so you know, dear, it does work at home. ;-D I'm full of more Hitchhiker's Guide trailer happiness....!

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've been fighting with my computer all day and was coming here to link this awesome new HH trailer I just saw, and of course you guys already new about it. Still, it kicks all kinds of ass. It's the first trailer for the movie that's actually made me psyched about seeing it. (My seeing it was never in doubt, but now I'm anxiously awaiting it.)
