Could you people possibly be any geekier? I'd comment more on that, but I have to go watch the rest of season 2 of BSG.

I actually can't tell whether you're making a joke or a suggestion.

Just add a few quotes from Marvin the depressed robot in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, the books not the movie.

Right, the books not the movie, even though they're nearly all identical, and the books were based on radio plays converted to a book as an afterthought.

Not the radio plays, though, the actual source material, but the book because you see, the book is printed on paper and as we all know paper yields better quotes than film.

I mean in the book, Marvin says "I think you ought to know I'm feeling very depressed." While in the FILM he says "I think you ought to know I'm feeling very depressed." Clearly go with the book. No contest! In the book: "Life. Don't talk to me about life." but in the FILM: "Life. Don't talk to me about life." Low brow fodder for the unwashed masses. Ignorant fools. Read the book people! Christ.

Seriously though, if you're going to be a snob, don't be a snob about a book cobbled together from radio scripts being made into a movie more true to the original vision than the book was.

The books or even better the radio scripts just have a lot more funny quotes from Marvin than the movie. Alot of great stuff was left out in the film, though the ones they did use seem pretty much verbatum.
