do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,

Aye, better than the last one. Maybe there is hope!
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

You people suck. That was a first-rate trailer right there.

:lol:

That cigarette joke was pure awesome.

Still disagree with THHGTTG being about slapstick comedy though... and I agree with Thunder about half of those things not even being in the book.
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Definite improvement.... in fact, it's as if they made it specifically for people who didn't like the other trailer to change their minds.  And IMO it works. :)

What the hell is that thing with the tiny little legs? That wasnt in the book. Unless they decided to make it a transport for the mice or somewhat.

The guy with the legs is John Malkovich playing a character added to the movie by Addams himself before he died.  In fact 90% of the changes were made by Addams, just like he changed the books from the radio series.

Hang on a sec... I get the feeling I'm seeing the wrong thing here. At first my browser came up with some kind of rodeo event featuring aliens and some redneck Americans trying to ride them.

I get the feeling that was the commercial.

Now it's coming up with the original trailer featuring "What A Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong and the CG of the Earth exploding.. but there's nothing new there.

Ah well...

Kewl, was just watching the orginal TV series the other day too.

I recognised a few scenes, there's a shot with the robot and the matress that brings back memories.
I personally look forward to the learning how to fly part.

:lol: @ Stephen Fry - He can rip anything apart...

But anyway it seems like there is a *slight* possibilty that the film might not suck.

How many of the books is the movie supposed to cover, anyway?

Hitchhiker's, by its very nature, is fluid, so expect the story of the film to differ markedly from the books as you remember them.
