h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I see it's on the FP finally. I never managed to watch the film, but it is absolutely fascinating.

Thanks. I recommend the film, if you can find it. Old-fashioned, but interesting.

I'd love to watch it. Maybe I'll find it someday.

Well done, very easy to read and incredibly informative!


The film is not only difficult to find here but it's seldom on the *late show* line up. That could be because of it's age and the difficulty to describe it in a TV Guide style *blurb* on signal providers but it*s interesting to note that as a long time viewer of stations like *Turner Classic Movies* (which specialises in older films), I've never seen it play.
TCM originates from Atlanta, Georgia.

Things that make you go- hmmmmm.

I swear I saw it on TCM once, but you're right, they don't show it enough. They ran 'Pinky' once, late at night...if you keep a sharp eye on them, they'll run the 'sensitive' stuff. But not as often as the stuff that makes you cringe. A year or so ago, I believe they had a special night for 'ethnic groups in cinema', or some equally lame title.

Can you get Netflix in Canada? That's a great source for seldom-seen films.

Netflix, aye. It*s part of a long term battle between our media moderator (CRTC) and the *Canadian Content* networks.

I*m going to check my iPod TCM app for more films, thanks!

Aha. Politics.

with finding the film, then! It's worth it. (Oh, and a plug for the novel to all and sundry, we got our copy at alibris for a few bucks.)
