Hitchhikin' Asteroid
 

Douglas Adams, the author of the Hitchhiker' Guide to the Galaxy series, has had an asteroid named after him: Asteroid Douglasadams

That's cool. I have a feeling that the decision was made possible through the use of the Improbibility drive.

Hey, HTHSeacaptain, it's a shame that wasn't your post #42.

Yayyayayayayay.

I seem to be the only person who gets a party in her pants when I see the movie teaser. Certainly there are people as geeky as I am about this movie. I mean, sure, it could SUCK. I'm sure the book is an impossible act to follow, but...c'mon. Generate a little bit of excitement with me, my fellow audience members. It's embarrassing seeing a movie alone and actually making a happy noise that no one shares with you.

Totally friggin' embarrassing.

My friend Rick and I made BIG happy noises when we saw the trailer with "The Life Aquatic, w/SZ."

I haven't seen the trailer for the movie yet, but I hope the movie is good.

I'm concerned about the casting of the movie. But I guess I have the TV series stuck in my head.

I'll try not to panic. :eek:

So far, just a teaser trailer, it shows nothing...

Sigh. Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy (and its sequels) is one of the most insightful, witty, and downright entertaining pieces of literature in history.

I have heard of this book, but I have never read it. I shall add it to my list. First, 'Running with Scissors' and then 'Hitchhiker' after.
:cool:

What he said.

(Worrying anew about NA....)

Yeah, "Hitchhiker" was something that those people who walked around quoting Monty Python read.

There are a whole slew of other "must reads" that I've never read as well - even though I am decently well read.

Also referred to as "The Hitchiker's Trilogy." Even though there are five books. Or is it six?
You may enjoy listening to the BBC dramatization here. I only wish it were downloadable so's I could put it on my iPod. sigh.

Hitchhiker BBC
 

Yep... the BBC show (esp. the first book) was pretty good radio...

It's got Tim from The Office!!!! And Alan Rickman's voice. Don't panic! [wink]

Just look at the cover to the book.
