Read Any Douglas Adams Books?

Yeah- I'm out too. Been years! I saw the movie that came out a few years ago, but I was disappointed. It was to be expected, I do it all the time. When you read a book, there's so much that your mind illustrates for you that Hollywood cannot reproduce. Plus- once you've formed some of these images, the movie just don't work right. I find characters never look or sound like my mind says they are "supposed to".Biggest disappointment of them all:

Hugh Laurie was originally to be cast as Arthur Dent. That would have been brilliant!!!!

exactly how I feel, couldnt have said it any better.

That's the guy that plays House right? That would have been good. I did like Alan Rickman as the voice of Marvin, but otherwise, yeah, not so good on the movie.

Yes, it's Dr. House. He's actually British (with a pretty thick accent). He's done some great britcom stuff, and if you're younger or have kids, you would have seen him as the dad in the Stuart Little movies.

I'm 38, so not exactly young. Oddly enough, my kids never really cared for Stuart Little, so I've never seen those movies. I did know he was British, just wasn't sure I was thinking of the right actor.

Gotcha. And love the new signature!
