When I joined this forum, I shortened 4252 to 42, but realized right away it was also the number from the book; Deep Thoughts' answer to the question about life, the universe, and everything. So it seemed to fit.

I hear they're making a movie based on the first book. Know anything about it?

42
I don't know too much about the movie, but I saw the tv show that was made in the 80's. It was on the BBC and it was horriable! It totaly killed my imangination of the book. That is the greatest trilogy in the world. I'm contomplating going to see the movie though. I don't want the book to be ruined anymore. But with more resent computer graphics, they can depicted the book better than they could in the 80's. Also because it's a feature film it will have a greater budgit. What I'm hoping is that they don't try to fit all five books into one film. Here's a link to a website that has a lot of info on it.
