The screenwriter for the new
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has interviewed himself, and posted the results on the movie's official
blog. It's hard to imagine this movie being anything but a disaster without Douglas Adams's involvement, but I'll probably watch it.
There's also a new
Life, the Universe, and Everything radio show out coming soon, for the truly geeky, also with some Adams preposthumous involvement -- including Adams himself as the voice of
Agrajag, the guy that Arthur Dent kills throughout history in every single one of his reincarnations, including one time as a bowl of petunias ("
Oh no, not again.")
I had a very detailed dream once about the sixth book in the
Hitchhiker's Series, which sadly was never written. I never liked the way
Mostly Harmless ended, though it made sense from a
Hitchhiker standpoint--it was just really bleak and sad. In my dream, the sixth book was called
Oh No, Not Again, which I really think it would have been, if Adams had ever gotten around to writing it.
Now I'm sad.
