do you like what they have done with marvin? |

President of the galaxy only good thing. Is it just me, or do previews these days usually discourage you from watching the film or make it look worse? PS. I also am starting to hate amazon.com. |
||||||||

|
|
there's a much higher quality version of the trailer floating out there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I cannot wait...I think its gonna be good. |
||||||||
|

No but I'm terribly grateful Zaphod only has the one head - the second once would either be CGI or a muppet head voiced by Gilbert Gottfried. :: shivers involuntarily :: |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
zaphod only has one head? that sounds kind of crap. that's like making a Star Trek movie with captain Kirk all slim and taut, talking a normal way. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
after seeing that i worry this will be shit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's what I thought Walex but there is a bit where he flips his head back and reveals the second. The Vogon's voice should be more disgusting. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not really. they use temp tracks all the time. the trailer for "the two towers" had music from "requiem for a dream" under it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
jesus Marvin still looks completely awful. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nice to see Stephen Fry is doing the voice of the book though. Alan Rickman is voicing Marvin? they really should've used the original actor for that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
From seeing only the Trailer, I think the production design looks good with the exception of Marvin. I have always pictured Marvin being human height and lanky. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's been quite a while since I've read it, but the humor looks a little more slapstick than I'd hoped... although I could be wrong. It doesn't look as bad as I'd feared it could be. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I concur! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in the trailer, they're trying to sell it on action, not on the wit that's inherent to the books. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha Mos Def. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah not quite sure whats up with Mos Def... I couldn't say yet whether there was a lot of suck. I liked how Jeltz looked. The major problem with acting out these books is a lot of the lines seem stupid when you actually say them, because in the book the absurdness of the phrasing works because you often have to read it twice. |

On this PC WMP is constantly not installed, and when you install it, instead of loading, it asks to install it again. So, what I'm trying to say is, is there a place where I can download it rather than stream it ? And preferably not so it can only be played on WMP. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think the design for marvin is great. Quite much how i imagined him to be. But its too big, he should be half the size. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i loved the books so much i am not going to watch the film, theres no way a film can compare to the special effects my imagination can create while reading. besides, the tv show only covered a tiny part of all 5 books, theres no way the film can cover the whole story. and if it can't cover the whole story, whats the point? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You only need flash installed to watch it at amazon. I can't stream video here so it must've been flash. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, the original radio series which came before the books, only covered what is in the TV series, so you can't really blame them. Do you know how much the film covers? Lord of the Rings shows that a trilogy can be made out of a series quite profitably, so I would imagine that would be the best option, maybe NOT including Mostly Harmless. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Alas, the extension is WMV. Can other applications work with WMV? If so, I can set THEM to open WMV files. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Winamp will do it mate. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm sure it'll work. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I set Winamp to open with WMV, and STILL it gives me the motherfucking WMP install.... ugh, this PC is fucking diseased. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I went to IMDB and watched the trailers there (for REAL and QT)... they showed nothing of the characters, only the earth getting blown up! :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that trailer makes it look pretty shit, really. like I said before, makes it look like a hollywood blockbuster action flick. where's the typical Adams wit? and that overblown hollywood movie-voice announcing the voice is really REALLY misplaced on a Douglas Adams story, I think. it made me laugh out loud. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
seriously, whats up with mos def. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Goddamit, I can't see that trailer! The only one I can see is of the earth blowing up, and their interpretation of what the book looks like. sucks :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's awful. the trailer sucks anyway. There's the fucking gravelly throat man again as well. Made me wince. Tears I tell you FUCKING TEARS! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Reguardless of how the movie turns out, trailers stick to a pretty rigid structure, reguardless of how groundbreaking the movie may or may not be. Since this is a comedy, they show the most slapstick obvious points to attract the lowest common denominator, and hope the books fanbase will bring the demographic that the movie was designed for. Not saying the movie is going to be good or bad. Going to see it reguardless of how much the trailer sucks, cause I am a fan of the book. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
which makes me fear for the film, because large budgeted films like this also normally stick to a pretty rigid structure. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
good bye mosdef, you've had a few good years. please don't turn into Will Smith, v2.0 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fucking acronyms... how am i supposed to get "THHGTTG"... *sigh* -_- i think i'd like to read this thing, everyone seems to be talking about it all the time. do you know if it's translated in french? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's easier for you to find out - you live in France! :P |

Why is Hitchhiker, which is only one word, abbreviated as HH? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
um, sure... : ) i'll try to search with the author's name. (who knows how they translate titles sometimes.) or i could try to read it in its original version, is it difficult english? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it isn't. the traditional abreviation is h2g2. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yep, they translated it as "the galactic guide". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Your english is excellent and you're more than capable of being able to read it. To be honest for ages I thought you were english. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, i just saw that : ) thanks! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
err, Alex, h2 means HH... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes I know, but "hitchhiker's" is still normally not abbreviated as HH but h2. |
