(Kudos if you're actually reading a certain book, rather than just watching the movie)

However, it isn't directly related to having just watched/read anything, the 25th May is International Towel Day.

I also know where all the BBC Radio productions of the trilogy in five parts are on my hard drive. Didn't think much of the movie, but Netflix has the BBC TV production from 1980...much better, IMO.

I found the book to be a million times better. They just couldn't fit the important details in the movie. It was pretty lackluster if you ask me. Even though Zooey DeChannel is hot. |

It may be the only instance where the radio show beats the crap out of the book(s) and all the movies. It is truly brilliant. |
