Don't panic.
It is under his first head. You just have to watch the trailer. His third arm is there too...JFK
I still haven't figured out what happened to the Klingons.
Now that I saw the trailer I can tell you that:
1. The filmmakers never read THG; or
2. The filmmakers never loved THG.
Arthur Dent is all wrong (too young), Marvin is all wrong (too cgi and too streamlined), Zaphod is all wrong (too few heads), Trillian is all wrong (too interested in Arthur).
This is all wrong. I won't be seeing it.
I take that back...not trillian...I was the one with 3 breasts....Eccentrica Gallumbits.....it has been many years since reading those books. I recently donated my collection to the Salvation Army...they were very used.
The BBC version was really bad....I preferred the visions in my head. It is hard to beat my imagination. Although, I think they did a great job with Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas. I walked out of the theater feeling like I had taken drugs.
I haven't read the books in years. I think I'll reread them in time for the movie. LotR bothered me some at first because it wasn't my vision of the books, but I now love the movies almost as much as the books. I'm going to give the movie a chance.
Click Here. (Will open in new window.)
Buy it while you still can. This hollywood crapola will probably wipe the original out.
No, I don't work for Amazon.com or have any financial interest in it.
I watched the trailers and read the books a long time ago, I wasn't sure what happened in the trailer at the point you are talking about. It looked like it might be a 2nd head, but I wasn't sure.
Nothing like a Vogon Construction Crew to mess up your day but I'm not panicing, I've got my towel!
If we had a sample of his/her poetry we could be sure....
Come on over!
You just don't know how you're tempting me. LOL
BTW - I sold my motorcycle today.
never fear - a new one will be parked at my place as soon as I move.
I've seen it. Yes, it was a hoot!
The knack of flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
LotR bothered me some at first because it wasn't my vision of the books, but I now love the movies almost as much as the books. I'm going to give the movie a chance.Have you ever listened to the BBC radio version?
You barbarians! I'll sue the council for every penny it's got! I'l have you hung, drawn, and quartered! And whipped! And boiled...until...until...until you've had enough. And then I will do it again! And when I've finished I will take all the little bits, and I will JUMP on them! And I will carry on jumping on them until I get blisters, or I can think of anything even more unpleasant to do...
No. I'm sure it is good though.
Arthur: You know, it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep space, that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was young.
Ford: Why, what did she tell you?
Arthur: I don't know, I didn't listen.
If we had a sample of his/her poetry we could be sure....Ode To a Small Lump of Green Putty I Found In My Armpit?
I'd be glad to burn it on a CD for ya (it's about 500meg in mp3 format)
