Huh?

There's a BBC miniseries-type-thing that kinda skips around the first three books. It's actually really good even though it was made in the (guessing) mid-80s (?). If you look around, you can DL the whole thing.

Well I just got a gift cert to B&N for my birthday so I think I'll take a stop by there after work today and see if I can't pick myself up that ultimate copy - Seems interesting enough, albeit a little weird~

great books. they're a weird combination of sci fi and satire.

well worth reading, though, especially since you can usually pick up a 1-volume edition for under $15 in the Barnes and Nobels clearance racks.
 
Sam Rockwell as Zaphod is interesting as is Adams writing the screenplay. I picked up the "Ultimate" guide not long ago and really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, it will be yet another movie where I've read the book and will know the story going into it.

Mos Def is playing the main character? I'd stick to the books.



Sidenote: I've never read the books, but from the description I did read it sounded like Ford Prefect was the main character.

No, Arthur Dent is the main character. Ford is definitely one of the main supporting characters, but it's definitely Arthur.
(as in the late Dentarthurdent 😉 )

Dent makes a mean sandwich.
 
The total perspective crap was BS, bunk, nonsense, crapola.

I went in through the door.....more bullsht.

I went in through the window, now that was worth reading.

1 outta 3 though....not good.

I don't know - Haven't seen or been exposed to much...

Any examples? 😕

Monty Python, Red Dwarf, 'Allo 'Allo, Fawlty Towers, Father Ted, Are You Being Served...
Don't they have PBS where you live?

Either way, Douglas Adams is British and if you like British comedy, you'll definitely like The Guide. If you don't like British comedy, you may not like it, but you should still give it a try because it's very good.
