I knew you'd google my question and I knew you'd get QotSA. It's actually by Mondo Generator, the song's called 13th Floor.

Still one nil to me.

What do you mean "one nil"?

I am glad you have finally realised the truth.

Mos Def is a fine actor and a talented entertainer. He's well casted and to my knowledge, Douglas Adams had no qualms with casting a non-white in the role of Ford Prefect. All he specified before he died was that the role of Arthur Dent be played by an Englishman.

On top of that, Zooey's pretty attractive.

My only issue is with the Marvin. I never imagined him as a fat, round headed thing.

The robot really is gay. I mean, he makes C-3PO look like fucking John Rambo. I always personally imagined Marvin as more like a normal robot/android/whatever, like Susan said.

... I think Killzig really digged this movie-Marvin, though?

What about the old BBC Marvin? I, personally, hate all this 'design ala 2005' crap, with user friendly controlls and smooth surfaces. I loved sci-fi when it was about big fuckoff buttons that light up and sharp bulky spaceships.

Totally, everything looks like a fucking ipod or an imac.

Works for me.

Marvin

Recently listened to the CD edition of the BBC Radio version of Hitchhikers'.

Marvin's continual counterpoint to the ongoing moment of panic,

during the plot progressions of the carbon based life forms,

is that,

he already - knows - the answer.

But being such a depressing,

mantically depressing, personality most have stopped listening to him.

""Brain the size of a planet .... "" is part of Marvin's monologue.

Perhaps that's part of the concept behind the round head.

In general, Marvin LOOKING more like a 'cute' rounded, iMac, teddy bear, may be their interpretation of the Serious Cybernetics pitiful stabs at 'friendly' design that always fail. The 'cute' look will whither before the acidity of Marvin's simulated, depressive, personality.

""Share And Enjoy!""

And boywoos uses a Tintin avatar. What a damn fine coincidence!

isnt he gay, tintin that is....
he's all funboyish, prancing around with that lil' lapdog of his, nevar mouthraping or molesting anyone.

Fuck you, Mismatch, Tintin is a shining symbol of masculinity and heroism. He's thwarted commies, Arabs, gangsters, cowboys, various Europeans, Egyptians and insane Nazi caricatures. He's a master thwarter. If you want something thwarted, you go right to Tintin and brace for some serious fucking thwart.

Tintin comics are the best.

Kashluk · Post by **Kashluk** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 6:13 pm

I really liked the captain better, as a character, than Tintin himself. I read somewhere that originally Tintin was supposed to be just a blank character, so as many people as possible could relate themselves to him... Or something. And that HergÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â© pictured himself as the captain, you know, the guy who curses a lot and kicks the ass of everyone.

Milou pwnz

Arrye, tha cap'n be the true hero! Tintin could be replaced with anything and anyone, without throwing the universe out of balance.
