annundrielI'd like to apologize in advance for the rampant fan-ness of this post. But I couldn't help it, and I look forward to so few things really. (Sorta.)
I have seen the teaser that was shown at Comic Con for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
Granted, the teaser shows, like, nothing movie wise. But the reality that it's actually out there with people making it? Well, that deserves excitement, right? And I haven't been this excited over a simple teaser since the first Harry Potter movie. OK, so maybe that's a little bit of a lie, because the other teasers for that and LotR have gotten me pretty excited, but DUDE! It's Douglas Adams!! I mean the brilliance and the hilarity and the philosophy and and all of the other stuff.
And I realize that the teaser probably doesn't warrant this level of excitement. And the movie may even be crap, but right now I'm happy.
This makes me desperately want to see the old BBC version again. Despite the quality. :)
Ford Prefect: How would you react if I told you that I'm not from Guildford after all, but from a small planet somewhere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse?
Arthur Dent: I don't know. Why? Do you think it's the sort of thing you're likely to say?
Ford Prefect: Drink up. The world's about to end.
Arthur Dent: This must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays.
Anyone who hasn't read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy really really should. I think I know what I'll be (re)reading after I finish The Sparrow. Whee!
