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

I didn't want to annoy the other readers by going right off topic over on the "What book are you reading" thread, but I could discuss these books forever (and have nobody in RL with whom to do so)

Anyway, you mentioned potential actors for any potential films. I have been to the webbie, but it was long ago, and I can't remember all the suggestions.

I still have no clear idea for Stephanie P, but you made a suggestion (which I promptly forgot) which seemed good

Likewise Joe (although I think Hugh Jackman might be good)

Ranger, though. Now I have had a picture of him in my head since I picked up the first book. It is Tyr from Andromeda (aka Keith Hamilton Cobb - but with long hair, not all shaven and shorn as he is now)

Grandma... no idea

Lula - deffo Whoopi Goldberg

And cousin Vinny, just has to be Joe Pesci, doesn't it? which reminds me... Marissa Tomei could be a good Stephanie.

er... waffled a lot. I'll stop now.

I can talk Stephanie for ages

Sandra Bullock is a must for Steph

Antonio Banderras for Ranger

Jon Bon Jovi for Joe

Bea Arthur as Grandma (she was Dorothy in the Golden Girls)

I'm leaning to Queen Latifa for Lula

I'm thinking in the 10th book she may have to make a serious choice between Joe and Ranger but the books wont be as good if theres no Menage A Trois just like when Niles and Daphnie got togeether in Fraiser

Antonio Banderras?

noooooooooo - I may have to wrestle you on that. Deffo Keith Hamilton Cobb.

But Sandra Bullock would be good, cute and a bit... well, as she was in Miss Congeniality would be good.

Bea Arthur - that's who I was thinking but I couldn't remember her name. I love Grandma Mazur, she's fab. And that old fella from the film Coccoon (if he's still around) for her boyfriend.

Queen Latifah would be good, looks wise, but can she act? And how about The Rock for Tank?

(I think Lula and Tank have to get together)

What about Connie? I know the look/age isn't right, but I keep thinking of Peg from Married with Children.

As for Steph... well, I'm pretty sure she will end up with Joe. But I think there is still a lot of UST between her and Ranger, and I think they have to have at least a weekend of wild sex together before she settles for Joe and babies.

eek, how did that happen?


I forgot to mention, Angelica Houston as Joe's Mother.

Did you read Hard Eight

Queen Latifa was in Chicago as the warder

Do you watch The Nanny on Living, Fran would make a great Connie
