The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has this to say about movie trailers.

(Thanks Brianbot!)

Episode 1 of the new Doctor Who series has leaked to the Internet.

I just finished watching it.

They got it RIGHT!!!

Without spoiling the specifics, suffice it to say you don't need to be a fan already to dig this, but there's still tons of goodies to give the Dr Who fans extra thrills.

Christpher Eccleston is AWESOME!!!

The TARDIS looks AWESOME!!!

They've even managed to make the damn AUTON DUMMIES scary!!!

Interested? You can find it anywhere on the usual fileshares, as well as alt.binaries.drwho on Usenet. Search for the episode title, "Rose." It's the complete episode, the only thing missing is new theme music. The original arrangement of the Ron Grainer theme is used instead, making me think this is an early reviewers' copy that leaked out.

Waiting to see more new episodes may well explode my head.

Heading off to Citigroup, later Round the Clock diner probably, same old same old...

Sooner, and more completely than I thought possible.

Ouch.

Notes to self -

Stop troubling over the specifics so much. Not a damn thing you can do about it.

The highest good for all concerned can still hurt. Doesn't make it less good.

Some things are too close too look at properly. Back off a bit.

Yoinked from music god and DJ, Your Friendly Neighborhood Louis...

What are you listening to right now?
"Yoshimi Battles the Hip-hop Robots," by the Kleptones.

What album did you buy last?
Synthphony REMIXed vol. 2, by Freddy Hajas

How many CD's do you have?
I'd guess around 500 physical ones, and just as many more in mp3.

What’s your favorite album RIGHT now?
I'm playing the crap out of Blue Man Group's "The Complex" lately.

What’s the most embarrassing album you have?
Hulk Hogan and the Wrestling Boot Band - "Hulk Rules!" In hopes of preserving a shred of my now-shattered street cred, I'll admit that I stole this.

Lp’s, cd’s, tapes or mp3’s?
CDs for stuff I really want to support, mp3s for everything else.

What song would you choose in a karaoke bar?
I'd choose "Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence, and then rap Jay-Z's "December 4th" over it, in the manner of the best mashup I've made to date. It'll probably get me thrown out of the karaoke place, but it'd be so worth it!

What was your first favorite song ever?
"Bohemian Rhapsody."

Which song do you combine with your first love?
"Look at Us Now" by Sarina Paris.

Best pity-song?
Either "One More Minute" or "Generic Blues" by Weird Al.

Best party-song?
Beastie Boys - "Fight for your Right!"

Best Sunday-song?
I have no clue what a Sunday-song is, but I have a feeling I shouldn't go with my first instinct and say "Sunday Bloody Sunday."

Best song to dance to?
Khachaturian's Sabre Dance.

What song ALWAYS makes you smile?
Queen - "Don't Stop Me Now"

If you got the chance to meet any musician/band, who should it be?
Living - Wendy Carlos. Otherwise, the Marx Brothers.

Who’s overrated?
Me.

Who’s underrated?
InSoc, MC Chris, Twiztid, Happatai, Best Brains, whoever did Toaplan's sountrack to "Zero Wing"

Who should sing a duet together?
Jennifer Lopez chained to the bottom of a piranha-filled aquarium, and Mariah Carey locked in a trunk full of rattlesnakes. It'd be the best either has ever sounded.

Top 5 concerts ever?
1. Queen at Wembley in '86
2. Insane Clown Posse's Shangri La Tour
3. Buster Poindexter in Central Park after the NYC Aids Walk
4. InSoc at Glam Slam in '92
5. MC Chris at Arlene's Grocery a couple of months ago.
(I've been to miserably few concerts, so I'm including some I've only seen on video.)

The worst concert?
The horrible tribute shows done soon after September 11th, 2001. Those of you who know my sister Fina, ask her about the Spanish one sometime...

Before I die I HAVE to see --------------- in concert.
Kurt Harland and/or/as Information Society. (Hey, who knows?)
