Well, here's the cast list. Pretty good mix of U.S. and Brit. But some might pull off accents pretty well. Who knows?

Martin Freeman (Arthur Dent), Mos Def (Ford Prefect), Zooey Deschanel (Trillian), Bill Nighy (Slartibartfast), Sam Rockwell (Zaphod Beeblebrox), Warwick Davis (Marvin the Paranoid Robot), John Malkovich (Humma Kavula), Steve Pemberton (Mr. Prosser); other cast not announced yet.

I think the distinction is personal. There is no way to get everyone on this site on board with one view as opposed to the other. Personally, I feel he has the right to tinker, but he should make all versions available. Some people feel he shouldn't be allowed to tinker at all. But that's not me.

Thanks! Took some days of work which means I generally give up any connection to the Web world.

It might be hard to hide her from the trailers. That and the title of it alone kinda gives it away. Thanks for the thought, though.

In the first, my nickname was Cheeks. Here's the cyborg version of my name though (and I like it, very appropriate)...

I can understand how some people might, on first inspection, look at us as hypocrites. However, when you think about the fact that all we want is something that is already in existence and is being denied to us, then I think it is easy to renounce the "hypocrite" claim.

In all honesty, I think Lucas could join the hypocrite list. Just look at the quote on the homepage of this site regarding his views on preserving the Three Stooges films. Funny, eh?

While I'm scared of how it's going to turn out (how often does that not happen in the adaptation of well-known books?), I'm sure I'll see it, and likely without my wife as she's not a big fan of scifi films either. Any of you in the Chicago area need a viewing pal?

But we have lost Urlacher for what looks like the remainder of the regular season.

Well, it's Tuesday now and I missed out on this thread when it was truly valid. So, here's my weekend recap. I took Thurs, Fri, and Mon off and worked my other job for added pay. Nice to double dip. The rest of the time, I tried to recover from having been awake at 4:30 in the morning to open at this other job at 5:30. Not fun.

By the way, since we're killing the Gender thread, I'll say "welcome" to DMirax here. Howdy!

Holly Hunter has been acting for quite a while now.

Here's her IMDb profile

She's been in Thirteen, O Brother Where Art Thou?, The Piano, and Raising Arizona, among many many others. Very talented actress who did a killer job in The Incredibles.

Somebody else mentioned in another thread that Ric was a girl and, when I asked another person via PM, they confirmed it. Maybe this is completely wrong, but the mention of Ric being a girl in this thread is the second time I've seen it on this site in as many months. I'm thinking either there was no typo and Ric is a "she" or there is some conspiracy afoot to throw all us OT'ers off base.

Me, I always assumed Ric was a "he" because in the thread about our forum names, Ric said that the Ric in Ricarleite was his/her first name. I immediately thought "Ricardo" seeing as how Ric is from Brazil. But we all know what happens when you assume, right?

I didn't know that either about Lethe. Hmm.

There have been other women in the past on this site. I'm having trouble recalling the names of many of them and the one whose name I do remember I won't mention as it will ignite Motti's ire.

Well, the thing I found interesting and this might help answer the question of whether it was a nod to SW or not, in the credits they thank LFL for use of their copyrighted droid design. So, maybe it is a wink-wink-nudge-nudge. Ya know?

I don't see why they cannot keep it up.

Hey, did anyone else notice how the ship that landed in The Incredibles with the big droid in it looked an awful lot like Darth Maul's ship from TPM?

He was one of the oldtimers on this site much like Motti, Gundark, Dayv, RRS, and myself. Pretty much since day 1 for all of us. Ah... March 10, 2003. Whadda day!

* RRS starts to sing "Blame Canada" song

I've got a friend who has had three companies in New Zealand express interest in his resume. He wants out and it's either Australia or New Zealand. He's the friend who works for Boeing contracted out to NASA. Nice recommendations, eh?

As for "Blame Canada"... isn't that the national anthem up there?

I did take some time off of ROTJ and it hasn't regained any magic. If anything, it lost more. You gotta remember that this is comparing now to how we felt about it as children. To me, ANH and ESB gained more magic as I got older. ROTJ still lost it.

Oddly, I, too, am on Braveheart sabbatical. Haven't seen it in at least four years. Been meaning to watch it again.
