I have somethin' that's REALLY gonna make you jealous.
I have the complete original 1981 BBC TV six episode Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy series.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/hitchhikers/metaguide/tv.shtml

'Tis a far, far better work than that horrid "remake" they did in '05. And you can trust me on this one.

I plan to watch it over the weekend, while letting the teen brigade swamp the movie theaters trying to get in to see The Dark Knight. I'm sure I can wait a week or two to see that one.

Yep, you're jealous. Green as a Monty Python shrubbery.

I knew you would be. :evilgrin:

3. Though I must say...
"The series is currently being remastered by Paul Vanezis for release on DVD." from the link gives me reason not to be.

:)

Q3JR4.

12. All I gotta say about that is
that at least it's going to be on DVD and I won't have to fuss with video tapes.

On the other hand I may have to wait another (wait for it....okay) five years. :P

Q3JR4.

7. Big Deal
I touched the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile yesterday.

Put that in your infinite improbability drive and smoke it.

13. I really enjoyed it.
It was a terribly low-budget effort, but at least it featured the "real" voices.

That's a good idea. Perhaps I'll watch it this weekend.

14. The TV series?
I preferred the original BBC radio series. I'm a big fan of audio books in general. They're great for traveling.

I have the unabridged reading of LOTR by British actor, Rob Inglis. It's fantastic. The pronunciation is flawless, including the elvish. He and the producer also created original music for all of the songs which he performed. I found it years ago on Ebay in the form of fifty-five CDs in the original packaging.
