It's pronounced 'kay bashing'
and is nothing like gay bashing.

I didnt think much of the casting at-all
I know the BBC series was cheesie, but it told the "tale" a lot better....

Problem is its a story that was forever changing everytime it hit a new medium Adams would change the bloodey thing, there was no real consistancy other than the names.... you can't do better than Slarty bardfast

The guy who played Arthur Dent in the TV show
is the same person the character was based on.

Can't get better casting than that.

Walter Raleigh in that episode of Blackadder 2

Awesome. Definitely an excuse for a rewatch

Actually I thought the casting was one of the better aspects
Hugely disappointing overall, though - even forgetting the 20+ year wait! It failed for both audiences: fans were disappointed, n00bs wouldn't have had the foggiest idea what the hell was going on.

I did quite like the Magrathean workshop, however. A rare scene where the radio didn't have better pictures...

I should admit to being a fan of a fairly obsessive level. To the point where I've edited together the audio versions (radio, LP and TV soundtrack) to produce the ultimate mega-complete extended disco remix, with every single joke ever recorded -- sometimes editing between the three versions several times during a single line of dialog...

If anyone wants a copy of this, Gaz me and I'll send a URL. I'd like to get it "out there".

Oh no! That's Andrew Sachs joke #214!
it must never be spoken aloud in public or the fingermen will come and get you. Last time someone made that joke the whole country descended into utter chaos. Those were dark times my friend.

We had to send the last chap into exile - he was forced to go and live in LA and ended up starring in some remake of Arthur that's probably shit.

Or something.

BURN HIM WITH FIRE!!!

I wasn't really excited about the movie
because I expect movies made from books i like to be crap. I did like Alan Rickman's voice though. Though I'd probably listen to him reading blender instructions if he'd just volunteer.

The kids loved the movie. It's how I got my daughter to read the books back when she was 12.
