You sass that hoopy bienville? There’s a frood who really knows where his towel is.
And because he’s such a hoopy frood he managed to get himself on the list to be in the audience for tonight’s test screening of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy!!!
Woo Hoo! 
I’ll report back later.
I rock!
Dude, you suck. I can’t wait for this to come out.
Robin
You lucky frood!
Have a Pangalactic Gargleblaster or two for me.
I’ll be viewing my BBC series DVDs to ease my pain of waiting for the public release.
Belgium! I hurl copious amounts of jealousy your way. 
Ah, yes, but do you have your official HHGTG beach towel, circa 1982 to hand?
I do!
However, know that we expect a FULL REPORT for fellow Dopers. Or you can go and stick your head in a pig.
More importantly, does your Infocom HHGTG game still have the little scrap of pocket lint in it?
Mine doesn’t.
bienville, tell us EVERYTHING, man!!
:listens to Journey of the Sorcerer wistfully:
You all already knew (didn’t you?) that I will be seeing this movie the instant it arrives in my town.
Did I mention that I just picked up a copy of The Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy? All five novels, plus a short story about Zaphod Beeblebrox in one volume
I’ve had that for at least five years now.
Well… it’s tonight… update?
Can you tell I don’t wanna wait? 
Aaaaargh!!!
O.K. do you folks know how test screenings work?
Well, they accept RSVPs from several times the theatre capacity. The reason they do this is they want to be able to weed out the exact demograhic spread that they expect to be helpful to their market research. Once they’ve got all they want from a certain demographic they won’t admit anyone else from that demographic.
So, I was in line 75 minutes prior to showtime (they recommended we be there 45 minutes beforehand). Even though, ultimately, I ended up being in the first third of the line, far to many of the people ahead of me happened to meet the same demographic criteria as I do.
So, when I got to the front of the line they said, “Sorry, bienville, we’ve got too many of you here already.” (Really, what were they thinking? Afterall, there’s only one bienville!!!)
So, they offered me a free pass to any other movie playing at the theatre (I declined in favor of taking up the plans I had cancelled for this screening) but I did not get to see HHG.
Personally, I think it’s because of all the ill will that was sent my way by my fellow Dopers. If you folks had wished me well and kept your jealousy in check, I’m sure the good vibes would have gotten me in.
So, there it is. I don’t get to see it any earlier than the rest of you. Sorry for raising your hopes for juicy spoilers, only to have those hopes dashed. Didn’t mean to jerk you around.
I’m very sad. (more for me than for you.)
A couple of reports here:
Brian
You mean you don’t come in six-packs?
Here, bienville. Drown your spirits with an Old Janx Spirit. Doesn’t require half the rehabilitation time of a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster.
Sort of like suddenly finding yourself in the Total Perspective Vortex, innit :D?
So am I. Except more for me .
How, exactly, does one have two Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters?
One down each throat, obviously.
This is a very sad thread. A very sad thread indeed.
So, do you know what demographics they were still letting in? (This is me fantisizing that if I’d had your ticket, I’d have made it in. Pathetic, isn’t it?)
Ok, you’re a real hoopy frood who knows where his towel is, but don’t go climbing into the Total Perspective Vortex, now!
Enjoy, and share!
