Anya ,'Touched'
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.
Zaphod's mannequin head wobbling on his right shoulder is taking a powerful lot of getting used to
The BBC version of Zaphod's second head was a large motivating force behind the Pez-dispenser version in the film. (And yeah, I never liked TV!Trillian either.)

Did you name it Christine before or after it tried to kill you? Because if it was before, you really only have yourself to blame.
Hee, I just sent that link to a friend who was in that movie with the suggestion that he buy the car.

After, once the parallels became obvious: very old red used car, many quirks and oddities, radio that would only play one oldies station, and seemingly malicious awareness of when to stage the next mechanical failure to greatest effect (dry-rotted tire that crumbled to tatters while driving on a major thoroughfare, steering column that snapped as I stopped to deposit my paycheck at a bank, flat tire and broken hatchback spring that conspired to give me a mild concussion, etc.).
