HitchHikers is brilliant. I don't understand all the critics who mocked it at all. It's not 100% true to 'source material', but all of the previous incarnations have varied, so why shouldn't the film? It's even got marvin from the TV series in it.

I also declared my love of the popcorn at that cinema. So perfect. And got nervous and distant because Toast's ex was there, and it's the first time they've met since the breakup. I got nervous because he was, and also because I would have been anyway. She's a really nice girl, and I feel bad that it was only 8 days (I think, I can't remember any more) after they broke up that Toast and I got together. Still, all went well, so that's okay.

Apparently they've started cutting hte rapeseed, which explais why I've been feeling guh today. Hello, hayfever. Sore eyes, occasionally sniffling and a headache. Nothing major, but enough to make me hate being outside. Which, of course, is why I'm going shopping again tomorrow. Still need to return this apparently blank Bryan Adams CD (the best kind, I know, Toast).

I seem to have developed a small AMV addiction. I think I've downloaded about 12 in the past few hours. There are some absolutely brilliant ones out there, especially an extremely well timed Another Bites the Dust/Noir, and a technically stunning Spirit Never Dies/many animes. I'm happy to gmail the ones I think are the best to people who are curious. And if there are any AMV making type people on my flist, 'Life's Gonna Suck' and WK has not been done, that I've seen, and is just too perfect a match ("You're going to have to shoot a nun...")

ah yes. Hayfever. An evil affliction. I myself will have to pay a visit to the nice doctor and get treatment by cutting off my nose and replacing it with a third arm. Much more useful.

that definitely sounds like the best solution.

Does Hayfever go away? But then I ask this every year and then just get caught later in the season! Hehe.

Well, it can certainly get worse, having not existed before. Mostly it depends on where you are, i guess. Some places are more hayververy than others.

Thank you soooo much for recording Dr Who. It was brilliant!

It just seems so sad that after introducing the daleks, making them scary and sympathetic, there will now be no more of them! Though I suspect once they run out of new ideas they'll start retconning this timewar so they can bring back old enemies. Still, no daleks for a long time :(

I'm still skeptical on the hh front. Prefer the tv series anyway: hollywood effects, who needs 'em?

I hate oilseed rape too.

Oh, the TV series is still by far the better, if for no other reason than David Dixon's beautiful voice. Pplus, it's longer, so there's more of it to love ^_^ And more book in it, which they cut short in a few places in the film
