madra sneachta Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 "It's unpleasantly like being drunk" "What's unpleasant about being drunk?" "Just ask a glass of water". ------ "You're Zaphod Beeblebrox and your great grandfather was Zaphod Beeblebrox the fourth?" "It was a rather nasty accident involving a contraceptive and a time machine" ------ "I wish I'd listened to what my mother used to say" "What was that?" "I don't know, I never listened". I'd love to go on, but I need a few Pan-Galactic Gargleblasters after the day I've had at work. BTW - Guess what my house number is............Seriously!!

madra sneachta Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Semi-serious question. Is anyone else worried about this film? The BBC series was gloriously amateurish when it came to special effects, much in the same vein of the Python films. I'm worried that overuse of CGI may rip the heart out of it. I hope I'm wrong!. Hown far are they going to go - Is it bool by book, or are they doing the original trilogy as one story. Who's going to play "Disaster Area". I think the closing bars of Cygnus X-1 Book 1 just before the sun explodes would fit in just nicely!!!. "Boy-being meets girl-being beneath a silvery moon which then explodes for no apparent reason".

Moonraker Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Warwick Davis is in this? When was the last movie he made. Then again, how many decent roles do they offer for little people. He was great in Willow and in Star Wars. He could have easily played Bilbo in LOTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Notorious B.S.G. Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 "There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, have you read "Dirk Gently..."? Good stuff. ___________________________ In the beginning the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. ___________________________ I'll never be cruel to a gin & tonyyx again! ___________________________ ...the man with the odd, or rather the even number of heads missed it. He flung himself back on the pilot couch, opened a couple beers--one for himself and the other also for himself--stuck his feet on the console and said "Hey, baby" through the ultra-glass at passing fish. ___________________________ Anything that happens, happens. Anything that, in happening, causes something else to happen, causes something else to happen. Anything that, in happening, causes itself to happen again, happens again. It doesn't necessarily do it in chronological order, though. ___________________________ My doctor says that I have a malformed public-duty gland and a natural deficiency in moral fibre, and that I am therefore excused from saving Universes. ___________________________ Man [has] always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much-the wheel, New York, wars and so on-while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man-for precisely the same reasons. ___________________________ One of the things Ford Prefect had always found hardest to understand about humans was their habit of continually stating and repeating the very very obvious, as in "It's a nice day", or "You're very tall", or "Oh dear you seem to have fallen down a thirty-foot well, are you all right?" At first Ford had formed a theory to account for this strange behavior. If human beings don't keep exercising their lips, he thought, their mouths probably seize up. After a few months' consideration and observation he abandoned this theory in favor of a new one. If they don't keep on exercising their lips, he thought, their brains start working. After a while he abandoned this one as well as being obstructively cynical and decided he quite liked human beings after all, but he always remained desperately worried about the terrible number of things they didn't know about. ___________________________ Okay, so ten out of ten for style, but minus several million for good thinking, yeah? ___________________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madra sneachta Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 Before he passed away, Douglas related his experiences when discussions about the film began - "The Hollywood process is like trying to grill a steak by having a succession of people coming into the room and breathing on it."
