THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY!!!

Arguably the best fantasy/sci-fi books I have ever read in my life are being made into movies...
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy & The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy Quintology
LOTR was probably the most amazing movie experience ever.
We'll see how Hitchhikers fares. Looking good though, so far.

Marvin is so darn cute!!! Gotta get me one of those...though he does resemble one of those hypnotic head-waving, colourful, light-powered lil' smiley dude table ornaments you find in toy stores...you know, the ones from Japan that claim to be able to keep you calm and happy with the lil' round-headed dude's rhythmic nodding...urgh. They cost like $19.90 to $29.90?
Basically an overly expensive animated dust-collector..unless maybe you hang rubber bands on it. They should make it into an insect repellent, at the very least...have some function other than nodding or waving it's head lamely.

(Imagine! Nod - mosquitoes drop dead - nod - cockroaches konk out - nod - flies decimated - nod - termites commit mass suicide...kewl!!!)

If they did model Marvin after those thingies, it'd be SUCH an appropriate irony!!! *guffaw*

Check out the offical movie sites! Note Marvin's groaning and commentary!

And pay worshipful tribute to the Genius of Douglas Adams!!!

And the awesome legacy of Jim Henson:

There are probably multitudes of LOTR websites out there, but have you heard that Canadians are gonna bring LOTR onto the stage? LOTR as a musical...imagine that. (Brain shudders)

Anyway, I still like the official movie site:
http://www.lordoftherings.net/

http://www.theonering.net/index.shtml is really worth exploring too.

Also check out Sir Ian Mckellen's blog! Listen to the man's voice! Makes my gut do a happy wriggle. (Okay, bad expression!!!) Xp

In comparison, fans have made Sir Ian Holm a fancier site!

And Christopher Lee's career makes being a multilinguist more than just cool:

Hey, why all the old guys? *lol* Oh well, I like old people.

Love the design on this site! Blanchett is Gorgeous!!!

And of course, the bombshell that is ORLANDO BLOOM:

Plus the uber-multi-talented Viggo Mortensen (he doesn't seem to have an official website though - most of the younger stars probably don't, I guess.)
