They've agreed to an interview, but said we can only ask her three questions.
So add your questions here and (crucially) vote for your favourites.

None of it did, since every version of Hitch-Hiker's has always contradicted every other version.
No.
So why did I hate it, even though it had Zooey Deschanel and Martin Freeman in it? (And I'd go gay for Martin Freeman and go straight again for Zooey Deschanel.)
Because of the ending. It makes no sense. Hitch-Hiker's never had much plot but at least it *almost made sense*. The ending of that film makes no fucking sense whatsoever. If they could rebuild the Earth and reset it to a second before it went why in God's sweet name would the mice need Arthur's brain? They wouldn't. The whole fucking POINT of getting at his brain was because they'd have to rerun the whole multi-million year program. But no, someone had to change that to have a nice happy uplifting ending. Yeah well FUCK your fucking happy uplifting ending, it does NOT MAKE SENSE.

For (Passion of the) Christ's sake, we've established that Mel Gibson's a horrible person. Now get over it.

do you at least somewhat agree or am I on my own here? maybe it's bc I work at a news media website and get bombarded w/lohan-esque stories nonstop, but this endless cycle of celebrity crap coverage is the reason society is ass backwards and so god damn dumb...and getting dumber. Excluding everyone here, of course.

but the news agencies are mainly responsible for touting it as news. If it was just left to the gossip magazines/website and ignored by news agencies (unless it really IS news) then may be things will change.
also - as A Vagabond (and Pliny) said - many, MANY people have nothing else to fill their empty heads with. Perhaps people these days suffer from information overload, so just shut down to all but the most basic and easy to absorb stuff.

If he is guilty of domestic violence and being such a racist prick then I say throw everything at him.
I don't see why we should be ashamed, we're not the ones punching girlfriends in the face (or most of us anyway)

but if the media coverage predjudices any potential trial then i think it should be curtailed. The papers can tear him apart after the trial for all I care but he's entitled to a fair hearing, the same as everyone else.

and you're completely missing the point (or from what you write it sounds like it). in no way am i condoning anything gibson has done, it's obv. horrible. but shit like that happens all over the world every single day, and far worse atrocities occur every single day, so to spend all this time and energy and money on one god damn actor is just silly and a waste considering what the human race could be doing with its time, etc.. i don't have any solutions, but i sense we're heading or have already headed down the wrong path. basically, i wish i was born in 1900. and i mean no personal ill will whatsoever, unless you do, in which case it's on.

im not saying it should not be covered, but the sheer AMOUNT of coverage takes away from real issues that go unnoticed or under reported. i mean it's human nature to flock to gossip and be intrigued, it's just left me a little disillusioned, and perhaps I'm the one w/problems and not the media, I'm not discounting that. but we seem to get obsessed w/stories that, bottom line, MEAN NOTHING, that's all I'm saying. I'm not saying I don't do the same thing, it's more of an indictment of society and the direction we're heading. and i'm not above calling myself a hypocrite and perhaps jaded and cynical and even wrong, but i do think it's an argument worth having. the news has been hijacked by crap, that's my point, but i guess it be's what it be's and there's nothing i can do about it. ok, i'm done, sorry if i offended you, i mean that sincerely.

that's just a lazy excuse, in my opinion, and it's only my opinion. just bc something is the status quo doesn't mean it can't change, but change is hard and that's the crux of it all. we're all looking out for ourselves, myself included, and we forget about bigger issues or ignore them b/c it means changing. bc real issues do exist, but i guess they have to personally touch you before you come to that realization.
