Title: The Hitch-hikers Trilogy by Douglas Adams Post by: Mr_Grenade on April 20, 2002, 06:35:32 am Just finished the trilogy for the first time and the last time. Didn't like the book much, i kept wonderin wtf happened to Fenchurch and if Arthur loved her so much how come he never even talks about her after her diappearence. If ya never heard of Douglas Adams or The Hitch-kiker's Guide To The Galaxy an wonderin wth i'm babblin about go here:

O yeah and V for Vendetta.
Title: Re: The Hitch-hikers Trilogy by Douglas Adams Post by: Mr_Grenade on April 21, 2002, 04:40:48 am I read a synopsis of V for Vendetta and it sounded good. Been wantin to check out some Alan Moore stuff, i can't believe i have never read Watchmen. They hype Moore as the best guy in comics and i'd like to see if it is remotely true.
Not into Batman , i dig the vigilantes not the super-heros. I like the guys who slaughter the bad guys like Punisher and when Azrael was Batman. Hell, the cops could of aced most of Batman's rogues gallery by now. Thats why i am not goin to see the Spider-Man or Daredevil movies , cause they're wussies. Oh yeah if ya didn't know , this is the Daredevil cast: Daredevil - Ben Affleck Elektra - Jennifer Garner (chick from Alias) Kingpin - Michael Clark Duncan Bulls-Eye - Colin Farrel (from American Outlaws) Other cast members include David Keith as Jack Murdock (DD's dad) , Kane Hodder (dude that plays Jason) , Coolio , and everybody's favorite Joey Pantoliano. My friend is gonna lend me American Gods by Gaiman , if i dig it , i'll probably check out some Sandman.

They should of let Spider-Man die and Venom take over. Course the coporate comic sludge factory that is Marvel would never do it. Marvel's slogan should be "Keeping the status quo forever" ,actually they could share it with DC.

He kills a few people and so many other people get shot up by the Joker and Two Face. Its really creepy and gory. Its a very dark Batman story.
