'Serenity'
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.
I read somewhere that the Santa sort of character was Russian
I admit, the only name I remember them using is Nick, but yeah, Russian like I mentioned. That makes sense. Rabbits and Australia--I dig. Spring and Easter and Australia, I get much less.
I wonder if you told someone going to watch World's End to look out for the shoelaces if they'd even notice that. Man, sometimes I feel like a sleepy audience member.
I'm sure I missed many details. By the end I felt quite drunk and disoriented, like a contact high without the actual contact. I have a feeling I'll be replaying the DVD numerous times looking for stuff I missed when I get the chance.
I loved the Russian Santa. So many folklore hints in the background.
And I left the theater more or less broken-hearted that Edgar Wright did not direct Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy.
Oh my. If there is a parallel universe where that happened, I want to go to there.

Whatever problems that movie had (and I personally loved it, with some reservations), despite his presence in World's End, Martin Freeman probably would not have played Arthur. And Mos Def would certainly NEVER had played Ford, just because it never would have occurred to think of it. So I'm glad it ended up as it did.
My biggest problem was Zaphod, and I don't blame that on Sam Rockwell, but I will take the former over the latter.
Needless to say, Bill Nighy probably would have still played Slartibartfast (sp? - it's late on a Friday and I'm a little lit).
Neutral on Zooey and who else they would have gotten. Never much cared for the character in any medium.
I have an enormous amount of affection for the Hitchhiker's movie. But the last half of World's End drove home in a painful way how much more British it should have been, and wasn't.
Maybe Wright can make So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish instead.
I have no complaints about the Hitchhiker's we got, but I now have a possibly insatiable desire to see what Edgar Wright could do with Douglas Adams. It hurts my brain a little to imagine.
I agree - a Wright/Pegg/Frost Hitchhikers would have been something to see -don't get me wrong.
I want to live in parallel universes DAMMIT!!!! And be able to switch back and forth and enjoy both.
I'd take that over flying cars anyday.

Your parallel universe could have flying cars. A Wright/Pegg/Frost Hitchhikers, and flying cars. And no Carrot Top. That could be an option.
And no shrimp?
