I dont even want to think about what Disney will do to his vision now that he's gone.
I actualy got to talk to him a few years ago on a local radio show. He was great and said he had complete control over the future movie. Disney was the studio he mentioned, but that was almost 3 years ago.
I'm so sad I almost want to recite Vogon Poetry.

They were thinkng about a third radio series as well, with the original crew... it's very sad. Guess Marvin was right after all.

I do indeed... also his final moments lookinmg at the huge sign that said 'Sorry for the Inconvenience' has a certain feel to it as well.

Mostly Harmless is not his BEST work... thought it does have a VERY funny start with the robots trying to work out what his wrong with their ship... classic stuff.

Hi, Jameous, so sorry to read of Adams' passing; he was so young. BTW, I now have all 5 of Adams' books to the hitchhiker's odessy. Finally opened my mail.

I know it was 22 years ago, I was just amazed at how young he was.

Still, he was a cool frood who knew where his towel was. I'm sure he was happy.
Quite wherew this leaves the new film, I don't know...
I feel I should point out a couple of points, looking at the site- they missed out Mostly Harmless from his list of sequels, and the radio series came BEFORE the novel...
Guess the BBC's field researchers got caught up with other things while working on the report, eh...?
