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

Hats off to TP, very much so!
I'm still waiting for the films of those books.

They could be cartoons in the same style as the book covers. Bit sad maybe but I liked the Nomes books the best. Actually I just got deja vu. I think I just had this conversation somewhere. Did you see fifth element/ read fifth elephant?

Seen it/read that/would quite like a T-shirt... So who's your favourite discworld character? Mine's Death, he definitely gets the best one-liners!
Don't know if I'd like to see the films of the books or not, as stated, in my experience they often get RUINED! (Example:- Interview with a vampire, Lord of the rings, The power of one, any Stephen King...) I think I prefer imagining what people look like/speak like etc to seeing it on the big screen... Once had a raging arguement with my sister about what colour Gollum is. He's white and blobby.

White? And blobby? Did someone call me?

Hi stoop! I saw you out on the new road! You lookin' good! For a blonde...
When I saw your new homepage I freaked. 22? Blew my mind! You gotta be the most sophisticated, witty, open-minded 22 year old I've met in ...oh, way-way too many years. Allowing for the blonde-ness I figgered you had to be at least 23. It must be the Borg implants make you seem much ..wiser, than your years.
Glad to hear about the new BF Hope he's not the jealous type.
peace,
~jwf~

I thought thin slimy and grey/green. But then that was influenced by a poster more than the book (your point I think). Yeah - death is cool, but you gotta like the librarian.

Rincewind's my favourite. Poor sod.

the cartoons were done already, Wyrd Sistwers and Soul Music, but I'd like to see the casting for Discowrld films.
I can't shake the thought of Angus Daeyton being the Patrician.

Angus...Hmmm. Maybe, but he's just not scary, is he? *flash of inspiration* we could change his gender and have....wait for it...Anne Robinson!
This is a bit sad, but I quite fancy Corporal Carrot. But maybe that's just me.
The arguement about Gollum, was that I thought, because he never saw the light he'd be really pale-skinned whereas my sister insists he'd be black, to blend in.

I agree with you on that one. If there's no light then his colour would be irrelevant for camouflage purposes, but he would indeed be very palid for lack of sunlight on his skin.

Angus could be scary if he wanted...

..you reckon? O.k, I'll let you keep Angus, if we can have Brad Pitt as Corporal Carrot. And Rik Mayall as Nobby.

I'd second Rik Mayall but for the fact that he's too tall.
For Carrott I supposed I'd better let you have Pitt after your concession to let daeyton in, but realy I thought the guy who played Constable Fraser in Due South would do a much better job- he's practically the same character!

Oh you are SO right! How could I pass over The Mounty in favour of Brad? (sorry brad!)
Any suggestions for Vimes?

Hmmm, not off the top of my head.
I've always thought Paul Kidby's picture of him looks like Richard E Grant after a bad day, but I can't picture it being him.

But that girl who played the dopey one in Vicar of Dibley would have to be Magrat. Wasn't she even the voice of Magrta in the Wyrd Sisters cartoon?

Yes, I know who you mean, and you're right again...What about nanny Ogg??
...I've just thought Samuel L.jackson For Vimes, what do you think??

Well he's certainly got the attitude.

For Nanny Ogg there's an old actress who's name I only know as Liz. She was on Blankety Blank a couple of nights ago and I think she was the Grandmother in 2 Point 4 Children. Failing that, perhaps Barbara Windsor...

Hmmm *agreed*
Now then, we've still got Granny Weatherwax, Cut-me-own throat Dhibbler, Angua....Cpl Cheery Littlebottom and What's the name of the troll in the guards???
I reckon somebody like Jodie Foster for Angua...

You are mad! i agree with the bit about the mountie but guess what, now i know your secret! you fancy captain carrot?! Which sister is that that you have incredibly silly arguments about irrelevant details with, coz it aint me unless i talk in my sleep!
Golem is dark and shady!
Hi all, if you havent yet read my 'smiley rant' then you can find it here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/U171196

Anyway Blondey, i'm at youknowwhere, on ther pc and checked who's online and it said 'stupidgirl', now that had to be you!
Nice page.
-Zalisander, Muse of mayhem and anti crawlty to smileys campaigner.

Not you, D'oh! The other one!!!
And PLEASSSEEE don't tell all and sundry that we're related...

I would have said David Jason for Dibbler, but he's looking a little snowy on top these days. Maybe Tony Robinson?
No ideas for Granny or Littlebottom...
Frank Bruno in a troll costume could probably be Detritus. Asfor Angua, Jodie wouldn't have been my first choice but now you've mentioned it I think I can see what you mean...

I can see Frank Bruno, and Tony Robinson...Ummmm... will have to ruminate on the others!

What about the wizards' faculty?
