Personally, I'm just annoyed that they released Daredevil season 2 on DVD but Daredevil season 1 is only available on Blu-Ray. It's like, what the fuck is the logic there? Zeus posted... Granted, since PO posted that Hitchhikers GtG series clip, I'm also probably going to watch that whole thing this weekend as well. Didn't know that version existed, but I was profoundly disappointed by the film. Already what little I've seen of this show looks far better. So thanks for inadvertently robbing me of part of my weekend >_> I was also profoundly disappointed by the film. The version I linked to was the TV version the BBC did in the 80s, which consisted of six episodes. I first watched it on PBS when I was like 6 or 7 - it was pretty much what got me into the series in the first place (and I still have it on VHS tape), especially the actual guide segments, which at the time looked awesome and really sci-fi-y: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuumnjJWFO4&t=2m06s (Oh, how well some things age, and how poorly other things do) It's easily far better than the movie, even with 1980s cheap TV effects (then again, I like 1970s Doctor Who, so I'm very forgiving). And you should be able to find most/all of the episodes on YouTube or elsewhere online if you look hard enough. It's only my third favorite version of the story, though. The books are only #2 - my favorite version of the story is actually the original radio show (the first 12 episodes from the 70s, not the newer updates they did much more recently). I think it has the best writing and flow of all versions, and while the books (the first two, anyway) basically just took the story from those and expanded on it, I still think the radio show is more visceral. The TV show basically presented the story the same way the radio show did, but with added stuff that was in the books, so it was sort of a hybrid of the two. It also suffered from the negative of replacing the actors who played Ford and Trillian (and TV Trillian is incredibly annoying while TV Ford is sort of bland), but a huge plus is that they kept the same Arthur, Xaphod, Marvin, Slartibartfast, and narrator of the Guide. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LlbF6DZjQ8 --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:897047773] in A Geektivu...
