Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Trailer!

Amazon.com has the trailer to "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" movie on its front page. Check it out.

I got a present a couple of weeks ago in the mail: a navy blue hoodie with the screened image below (available at J!NX). The line above the "42" says "Have Towel, Will Travel". I wore it to the bar on a Wednesday night gathering of friends and nobody understood the image. I found this somewhat disturbing. It would seem that very few of my current friends have ever been exposed to Douglas Adams' work. Again, I realize I am a geek, but I would have thought it would have been a bit more recognized. In my previous life as a chemist at DuPont, lines were regularly quoted by my peers. I guess we were all geeks. Either that or my friends have missed a not-quite-vital-yet-important piece of their education.

Anyhow, the movie comes out on April 29th. Check out the trailer, and be sure to see the movie. Oh, BTW, the voice of Marvin, the Paranoid Android... Alan Rickman. Should be hysterical.
