they couldn't make a movie of THHGTTG, of it is what any given character is thinking. the whale, for instance, in a movie, he would just appear, then fall and hit the ground, nothing more.

'xactly. Though I think you could just do the whole narration in voice overs and still have it be good. Sure, its not conventional, but then again the book isn't very conventional. As long as they get John Cleese to narrate it.

I don't know what's scarier.. a Hitchiker's movie or a remake of Flash Gordon...

[mikhael]

A remake of Flash Gordon is scarier. A Hitchhiker's Guide movie at least has the possibilty of being good, being that its not handicapped by horrid material like the Flash Gordon movie is.

No Queen soundtrack? No point.

Just a man
With a man's courage
Nothing but a man
But he can never fail

Mik. You really need a job. You're turning into a real sourpuss.

How can you not like Flash Gordon. Yeah it's silly but it's meant to be silly.

But the whale was a good part!

All Boring White Males in film comedies are required to have Sassy Black Sidekicks. It's, like, a law or something.

Multipass, please.

I can't help but dig the 1980's-ish Flash Gordon movie.

Yes, bad acting, campy effects, blah blah.   I get a kick out of a comic book made into a live action movie that is still, essentially, a comic book .

Besides, it's got one of me favorite quotes in it.

Zarkov: Why do you attack us?  We are only interested in friendship.  Why do you attack us?
Ming: Why not?
