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

Top hole! I shall look into it. One possibly worry with doing that might be the element.

I bought you some tea, I don't think I'll be able to e-mail you it.

I just cracked the storyline for a comic book pot-boiler-type-idea I've had on the go since about 2003. About an immortal, but narcoleptic, superhero.

Ooh, tea!

I should be able to post you some DVDs too but I don't know how bad the post office will be between now and Christmas, and I don't get home early enough from work to go any day other than Saturday.

Your story sounds excellent! Are you writing and/or illustrating it, with a plan to have it published, or is it just in your head?

The tea is truly worthy. At least it smells that way, it's special lady tea my girlfriend drinks. So I've never actually tried it. I am gagging to though.

I've been drawing the character from my story for ages but I haven't drawn any actual frames or laid anything out because it's all been jumbled up in my head. I've given up on it twice but I keep coming back to it.

It has Richard Branson in it, who's had gene therapy so he doesn't age and has been alive for 500 years, in a manga-ish mech suit. It also features the ghost of Ghandi

Hi PC. Yee, I got those files and downloaded two of them. I looked at one, Rabbits moon. Looked cool . I been all over the place for a few days.

I'll have a crack at the others tommorow. Thanks

I'll put a folder of tunes together as well and try and send that back. Any preference? mp3? wav? aiff?


eeek!

Yeah, Tim Burton, I've liked some of his films, others I've thought were dire. I liked Ed Wood, Edward Scissorhands, the Nightmare before Christmas and I kind of liked Mars Attacks a bit. But I thought the Batman films were a bit dodgy, Beetlejuice was kind of a dodgy ranting Micheal Keaton vehicle, although it was well produced. Planet of the Apes, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory were outrageously poor and the Corpse Bride and Sweeny Todd were dull.


I just realised that the husband in Beetlejuice was a flippin' skinny Alec Baldwin!

I've got the Avante-Garde DVDs ready for you, and should be able to get the Kenneth Anger together over the weekend. I hope to get them out to you soon- I'm aiming for next Saturday.

Re: Burton

I thought Corpse Bride was a disappointment. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was a huge improvement over the original. And Sweeney Todd was so-so; kind of tame for a film about a serial killer, but such is life. Big Fish was cute and enjoyable. My favorite by far, of course, is Nightmare Before Christmas, though.

Sweet. I've programed on of my synths to be a midi controler for Resolume. I'm going to need an epilepsy warning

Speaking of which: the tunnel bit from the original C&tCF wigged me out severely as a kid. Hiding behind the sofa, like I did from the Dr Who music. The new one didn't seem as potently gnarly compared to that. But I did like the new music and it was a lot weirder in general.

Sacha Baron Cohen was good in Sweeny Todd. Have you seen Borat? He was good as the king of the lemurs in Madagascar as well.

Can you email me your postal address please.

I'm toying with parceling up the poster in such a way that it looks like a bazooka/rocket propelled grenade type thing. Not sure if it'd be funny or not

While I might think that was hilarious, I'm not sure the postal and customs inspectors will be amused. And especially as I'm going to give you my mailing address at work, neither would our security personnel.

I'll email that address to you. Since it's not likely to fit in my mailbox at home, it'd be easier to receive it at work and just take it home with me.

Very cool of you.

Haven't seen Borat. A friend of mine saw it and wasn't terribly impressed, so I'd given it a miss.

We've piled up a handful of titles from Netflix, what with various holidays and watching Blake's 7 all the way through. Another B&W film which has some pretty impressive visual effects- we watched it last week- is "Woman In the Dunes". I could hook you up with that, too, if you're interested. It's a full-length flick, though.

It's a shame to miss out on all the round-the-water-cooler kudos you'd get though

I'd definitely watch Borat, although I won't say you will definitely like it. It is probably the most outrageous thing ever committed to celluloid. It's very, very clever in being obscure about who it's making fun of and absolutely wince making in the process.

Still looking forward to the reaction that oddly-shaped tube will get when it arrives. Meanwhile, I posted the DVDs to you about a week and half ago, going on two weeks, ago. Hope you'll enjoy them!
