Ask 'Hitchhiker's Guide' Exec. Producer Robbie Stamp 490
After nearly three years of waiting, the movie version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is almost upon us. I've been impressed with the casting, and with the trailers I've seen of the film -- enough that I'm taking the rather unhappy early review posted the other day with a large grain of salt. Now's your chance to ask whatever you'd like of Robbie Stamp, the film's executive producer; we'll pass on to Robbie some of the best questions and publish his answers as soon as he gets them back to us. (As usual, please -- confine yourself to one question per post.)

Nope, obviously he was simply using base thirteen instead of base ten.

I think the radio series or the books or SOMETHING would have mentioned if Marvin was only 5 inches tall.

If you were to make the remaining books into movies, would you try to fit it all into 3 movies? If so, should heralded as the "The Increasingly Innaccurately Described as Increasingly Innaccurately Named Hitchhiker's Trilogy"?

A better way to phrase this question:
Once you decided to rape Duglass Adam's by shitting on his original text with countless corruptions, perversions, and flat out misrepresentations such as the hiding of Zaphod's head in the chest, did you feel that a special circle in hell would be reserved for your eternal torment or that your punishment would take the form of some extreme bowel torture here on Earth?

Any addition to a beloved fandom will always be hated by the "true fans" and H2G2 will be the same.

But you shouldn't take that to mean that only jokes in base 10 are funny.
You know why programmers confuse Halloween and Christmas? Because OCT 31 = DEC 25.
And no, you're wrong, that really is funny.
Towels? (Score:3, Funny)
"Hey, why does that guy bring a towel with him to the movies?"
"Um, I don't know, but let's sit far, far away in case he has to use it for... something."
