Description
Day four of my own personal 'How fast is your spaceship?' week of scifi nerdiness. Today, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy...My favourite book as a kid and I could quote great slabs of it. While the movie was never going to match the book, I still rather enjoyed it and I felt the design work was fantastic.
The Heart of Gold, stolen by Zaphod Beeblebrox (he's just this guy you know) was powered by an Infinite Improbability Drive that, when fully powered, passed through every conceivable point in every conceivable universe simultaneously. This, unfortunately, means that you areΒ "never sure where you'll end up or even what species you'll be when they get there" and "it's therefore important to dress accordingly".

'Not entirely unlike Tea'. The full quote in the book is 'Almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea' but that was too long

"...It's not a matter of speed or distance..."

Awesome books... so-so movie [sadly]. Β However, Alan Rickman, as the voice of Marvin, was [as usual] spot on hysterical. Β Still want someone to do a remake of Hook, with him in the role of Hook - god, he'd blow the doors off that role.
Ennnn-ee-weigh...
Care to guess how many people have 42 tattooed on them, somewhere..? I know I've seen a shit load.
Another great interpretation, dude. Β One geek to another, this is being a great week for eyeballing dA.

Rickman would have been AWESOME as Hook (and yes his Marvin was perfect). I'll have to ask Deep Thought about the number of 42 tattoos - I'm only an ape-decended life form on an utterly insignificant blue-green planet from the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy who still thinks digital watches are a pretty neat idea.

Can't read the Tea Bag label...
and I find the amount of little sight gags somewhat lacking in this one as well..
and the TV series was far superior to the movie

Tea bag says 'Not Entirely Unlike Tea' from the quote about the tea made by the Nutri Matic machine on the heart of gold ('Almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea').
Yes, the TV series was fantastic and better in nearly every way (though I still prefer the design work on the movie).
Cheers!

Just don't say "I seem to be having tremendous difficulty with my life style" and we can avoid all out intergalactic war

Β Definitely My intro to Hitchhiker's Guide was the radio series and yes, it was a radio not a wireless
