HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY teaser trailer
Harry here with the teaser trailer to HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY that was shown at Comic Con that we've all heard about. Wish this was another format, it's an AVI, and for some reason I get image, but no sound. Better than nothing, but wanted to give y'all a fair warning... Btw, nice call out in the stars! Heh!
Wave the White Towel

Whee! I'm first! Now I can hate myself for being a stupid first poster!
-
this movie will rule.
-
I've gotta wave the white flag. I can't run it!
-
Couldn't be more excited, but why the new thumb logo? What was wrong with the "planet sticking it's tongue at ya" logo?
-
How can a website operator not have the ability to play a simple avi file properly? Anyway, it seemed like a nice reference to the last episod eof the TV series and the large Don't Panic really seemd to put me at ease.
-
Hey Bud,
You weren't first, just like Kerry come November!
As for the Hitchhiker's trailers, it is the lamest kind - all logos and effects with no actual clips from the film. You aren't missing much. -
This is the Holy Grail of movies in my opinion. Forget the Godfather, forget all other movies... THIS is the movie that I have been waiting for since I read the book and listened to the radio show on tape way back in 7th grade. This book is funny and imaginative and a commentary on life... everything anyone could want in a movie. Best of all it has the words DON'T PANIC writing in large white letters on the teaser trailer. Oh to be the glove on the hand of the guy who buys lunch for the people making this movie. Can't wait.

The video is DivX, the audio MP3 and the contents freakin' awesome!

I was able to play audio and visual fine, and I'm on a mac. If anybody's having problems and is running Mac OS X, I suggest downloading VLC Media Player from http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ -

fuckin quicktime.

Alas! I'm jazzed for this movie.

Loved this teaser. It will be interesting to see the finished results.

Divx and Xvid are 9 jillion times better than quicktime anyway
by tall_boy
mainly because you can actually play them full screen and not have to shell out money to pay to play it full screen, you cheap quicktime pimping bastards.
-
I don't really know anything about the movie or the book, but I still dug the Louis Armstrong song and the lil' tease, and I'm always looking forward to a huge movie; and anything where the earth blows up has to be huge, right? Except that lil' debacle Titan A.E... But all I wanna know is what is with that 42; any significance?
-
Good God man! 42 is the meaning of life!
-
The people of the universe built a huge supercomputer to figure out the meaning of life. It came up with "42". Then they built another supercomputer to figure out what the original question was. That computer was called Earth. Every lifeform on Earth is part of a complex matrix and every being on earth has The Question imprinted in its DNA. Unfortunatly the earth was demolished to make way for a hyperspace bypass. The only 2 lifeforms to survive are a hot chick and a clueless goof, the main character. The chick was saved because she hooked up with the three armed, two headed ex-president of the galaxy and the clueless goof unknowingly happened to be friends with a stranded alien who was writing about earth for the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the largest reference book in the universe. A depressed robot named Marvin rounds out the cast. That should about cover it.
-
Someone has to get their hands on the Serenity teaser footage and put it here.
-
FUCK NO!!!! Sorry, I have no faith in this project. The book is beyond these people in my opinion, and the movie in my head from reading the book several times is MUCH better than what these people can do.

I'm sorry, I must have not been playing close enough attention:
by hammer2fall
Watched it a couple times, didn't see it. Maybe my moniter is set too dark or something. Could someone educate my sorry ass and point it out to me?
-
Nothing impressive in that teaser.
-
. . . it is the answer to the great question of Life, The Universe & Everything. C'mon guys, it's not rocket science.
-
Can't wait! :P
Harry - get DivX! -
That is, I'll be looking forward to the next trailer instead of dismissing the film as trash, since it's being done without supervision from the grandmaster writer Douglas Adams himself, which was something I'd always been mortally afraid of imagining.

by monkeyboyjunior
And that teaser rocked! Harry pimps quicktime because it the best video player out there. You PC hillbillies need to go get yourself a new Packard Bell and confederate flag for your El Camino's rear bumper at the local flea market. Oh, and maybe hump you sister on the way out of the trailer. The girl gets lonely when Dad is out of town!
-
In the words of Carl from ATHF. I'm a big fan of the books (read them all many years ago in high school). The teaser looks good. Let's hope the movie does the book justice.
-
Enter in "answer to life the universe and everything" in Google and you'll get the answer. Sweet.
-
42 is not the meaning of life you froods. 42 is the ultimate answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything. To say it's the meaning of life implies that you know what said question is, which is impossible.

as to why there's a thumb and not that little asphyxiating plane
by judderman
that's because Douglas Adams hated what he called "that obscene little thing" and spent many of his final years in this dimension combatting it.
Oh, and to whoever called the others on this board "froods": "Frood" means, "really amazingly together guy." You want to insult them, call them "zeebs."
As to the trailer, well, dunno yet. Just a teaser. Plays to the converted, don't think it will attract newbies. Still, all the buzz coming from this project is ecstatic, and to those concerned that Douglas Adams isn't nurturing this, his estate and interests are deeply embedded in the project so his legacy at least has a fighting chance. -

In shorthand, if someone asks you the meaning of life, you can still answer 42. I do it all the time. Those in the know get it.
-
There are some people here who've never read the book/listened to the radio series/watched the show. And now you sorta ruined the whole thing. Well, 'cept for Slartibartfast. But still, spoiler warnings people.

Can't host forums that aren't complete shit, pimps wannabe codecs from Apple and uses a web design that dates to 1997. What make you guys think Harry could figure out how to play DiVX on his Mac? Quicktime sucks and doesn't scale worth shit. And I have to install iTunes to play high res QT? Fuck that.
-
...I love you and want to have your (sick, three-eyed) babies. Actually, I cannot wait to come to the 'Land of the Free' once more. Last time I came (as a student at C.S.U.) I registered to vote in California. It was so easy for a white English speaking dude such as myself lol. p.s. Oxford English dictionary defines 'tool' as 'a person used as a mere instrument by another' and 'shed' as 'natural wastage'. Therefore, I must be your toilet and the reason that when I'm in close proximity to you you're so full of shit. Touche.

As any O&A fan would know.

you like to eat shit?

AICN brings you another huge scoop! The teaser for Hitchhiker's Guide, and of course, it's fucking dead link. What a waste of space. Try finding some real stories that will hold up for a change.

Going to college breeds liberal democrats. Graduating college,
by lezbo milk
I always get a kick out of how the youth on college campuses around the country buy into the ultra-libirtarian bullshit that professors spew out on a regular basis. College is such fun. You have no responsibilities other than to pass your classes, get laid, and try and figure out how you are going to scrounge up tomorrow nights beer money, all while keeping the parents happy so the golden tit doesn't dry up. I get an equal kick out of how, after graduation, and once the career kicks in, and people start seeing thier tax money fly out of thier paychecks at an astonishing rate...once liberal college hippy, save the whale wanna be's...suddenly find themselves becoming quite conservative. Now I'm not a Bush supporter, and I'm not a Kerry supporter either. Those of you who think Kerry lives on the same planet as the rest of us are dolts. Billionairs live in a different world than we do folks. Anyways, my advise is to be an independant voter. Both sides are full of shit in thier own way, so don't take any of it. Stop taking partisan sides and start taking the side of common sense. Maybe then we will get someone half way decent to vote for.

Eeeew... had high hopes for this, but this teaser has a horrible feeling of big studio corporate lets-please-the-kids standard hollywood garbage all over it. Made me think of the first time I saw the I Robot trailer :\
