Just wondering how many of you have heard of the books and the upcoming movie, I can't wait for it.

I am also really looking forward to the movie. I shall take a towel with me, and wave it in the air at the good parts:D

If the movie sucks, I'm going to flip out and kill a puppy or something.
I bet you think that's funny, don't you.

Arthur Dent, mild-mannered, out-to-lunch earth-ling, is plucked from his planet by his friend Ford Prefect just seconds before it was demolished to make way for a hyper-space bypass. Ford, posing as an out-of-work actor, is a researcher for the revised edition of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Together the gruesome twosome begin their now-famous inter-galactic journey through time, space and best-sellerdom.

I must agree with this assessment.

Alright. Who voted for the last option? Eh? I have a message for that person. YOU need to be burned because you have no idea what good reading IS.

I voted for the last option, but it was an accident.

I thought I was voting for "It Rocks" but I think I accidently voted for Al Gore.

Me too. I was reading the options and I was like, "The person who made this poll must really hate those books."
2004-12-12, 10:05 PM #24
:P no, they are my favorite books ever, but what was I supposed to do, make every option, it rocks?

Or just make one option... Can you even do that?

"It Rocks" doesn't even begin to describe my pure love for these books. Absolute, nonstop, comic genius.
The tired anthem of a loser and a hypocrite.

I really liked them, but I never did get that far into the last one. The first one is pure genius.

It has been so long since I read the books that I only remember they were really good. I don't actually remember any details. Perhaps the movie will remind me.

You're all wrong. It doesn't rock.

"Rock" doesn't even begin to postulate the theorum that you mere-weak minded mortals could even fathom how awesome these books are.

On this note, I lent my friend my 6-in-1 book today, she hasn't read it before.

That just takes me to a Disney website, and I can't find the trailer.

I'm having that problem now too, but that link worked yesterday.

For everyone who's having problems, here's another location to find some of the same things.

Also at the ending of trailer, in the top left, is the answer to life, the universe, and everything. Its in the stars.

... I waited that long for a trailer that's almost EXACTLY the same as the one I've had for months now. The only difference is the last 10 seconds.

As for the utter awesomeness of the books, the man was a genious. That's all there is to it. And I'm not saying that because I like him, he really was brilliant.
