Douglas Adams' The Restaurant at the End of the Universe er anden ret i den fem-retters menu, vi kender som The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy-trilogien. I denne episode af SCIFI SNAK, optaget live på Fantasticon 2025, har vi pakket håndklæder og Old Janx Spirit og kastet os ud i den svære toer. Douglas Adams og den absurde arv Douglas Adams (1952–2001) var en britisk forfatter, humorist og idémand, hvis navn i dag er synonymt med skæv, intelligent science fiction. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy begyndte som radiodrama i 1978 på BBC, og blev senere til bøger, tv-serier, computerspil og en kultstatus, der lever videre i citater og håndklæder. The Restaurant at the End of the Universe udkom i 1980 som efterfølger til Hitchhiker's Guide og bygger direkte videre på radioafsnittene. Adams skrev i et tempo præget af deadlines og improvisation, og det mærkes i bogens struktur: den springer lystigt fra scene til scene, nogle gange uden logik, men altid med et stærk og hektisk dialog og masser af vilde indfald. Han var en mester i at kombinere satire med slapstick og eksistentielle spørgsmål med popkulturelle observationer. Og selv når handlingen slår knuder på sig selv, bliver man hængende for sproget, ideerne og det faktum, at ingen anden kunne få en kop te, en rockkoncert og meningen med livet til at hænge sammen som Douglas Adams. Vi har aldrig rigtig kommet nogen fundet nogen der leverede scifi-humor på hans niveau. Måske er det derfor, at der er så langt i mellem, at der er nogle der prøver. Teknologi, te og total sammenbrud Bogen starter hvor Hitchhikers Guide slutter. Ombord på Heart of Gold forsøger Arthur Dent at få rumskibets Nutrimatic-maskine til at lave en ordentlig kop te. Han beskriver tålmodigt, hvad te egentlig er – med floromvundne detaljer om Ceylon, mælketilsætning og sølvtetøj. Maskinen må have hjælp, og hele skibets computerkraft bliver opslugt i forsøget. Timingen er dårlig, da det efterlader vores helte hjælpeløse midt i et Vogon-angreb. Det er Adams i nøddeskal: en tilsyneladende lille detalje vælter det hele. Plutoniumrock og passiv ledelse Vi møder også det universets vildeste band - Disaster Area - hvis plutonium rockkoncerter er så øredøvende, at de helst skal opleves fra en bunker 100 km væk. Vi møder bandmedlemmet Hotblack Desiato (som er “død af skattemæssige årsager”) på Milliways, "Restauranten ved Universets ende." Zaphod stjæler bandets sorte stunt-rumskib, som desværre er præprogrammeret til at dykke direkte ind i en sol, som en del af Disasters Areas spektakulære koncerter show. Adams giver os et helt kapitel om koncerten og dens klimamæssige effekt på planeten. Igen typisk Adams, at tage en tangent ud af en absurd bivej. Kapitalisme, konsulenter og blade som valuta Bogens måske skarpeste satiriske bid kommer, da Arthur og Ford strandes to millioner år tilbage i tiden med en flok Golgafrinchans – et folk bestående udelukkende af ubrugelige frisører, managementkonsulenter og telefonsanitører. På en neolitisk jordklode fortsætter de ufortrødent med deres håbløse opførsel. Blandt andet indfører de blade som møntfod. Det fører til massiv inflation, fordi der er blade overalt, så de planlægger at brænde skovene ned for at gøre pengene mere værd. Adams' samfundssatire slår hårdt og præcist: Vi vælger at brænde hele verden ned for at redde økonomien. Yndlingscitater Bogen er smækfuld af gode iagtagelser, og man kommer let til at highlighte halvdelen af bogen, hvis man samler på citater. Her er et par citater fra lytterne. Randi citerer bogens ikoniske åbningssætning: "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move." Niels fremhæver: "The Universe, as has been observed before, is an unsettlingly big place, a fact which for the sake of a quiet life most people tend to ignore." Jens' yndlingscitat: "Listen, Ford," said Zaphod,

Well dear listener, it had to happen. After appearing with us separately on various podcasts, a long-time and genuine friend of the podcast - Too Hot for TV's Dylan Rees - joins BOTH of us to discuss the BBC television adaptation of Douglas Adams' THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY on tonight's episode of ALTERNATE GALAXIES. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy aired between 5 January and 9 February 1981 on BBC2 in the United Kingdom. The adaptation follows the original radio series in 1978 and 1980, the first novel and double LP, in 1979, and the stage shows, in 1979 and 1980, making it the fifth iteration of the guide. The series stars Simon Jones as Arthur Dent, David Dixon as Ford Prefect, Mark Wing-Davey as Zaphod Beeblebrox, Sandra Dickinson as Trillian and Stephen Moore as the voice of Marvin. The voice of the guide is by Peter Jones.  Peter Jones, Simon Jones, Moore and Wing-Davey reprised their roles from the original radio series in 1978/80, as did supporting actors Richard Vernon and David Tate. In addition, the series features a number of notable cameo roles, including Adams himself on several occasions.

Get the book here: https://amzn.to/4eDDvLb - First a legendary radio series, then a bestselling book, then a blockbuster movie, the immensely successful Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams needs no introduction.This paperback boxset collection includes all five parts of the trilogy, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, Life, the Universe and Everything, So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish and Mostly Harmless.A phenomenon across all formats, this paperback omnibus contains the complete Hitchhiker's in five parts, charting the whole of Arthur Dent's odyssey through space and time. Share and enjoy.The Hitchhiker's Guide to the GalaxyOne Thursday lunchtime the Earth gets unexpectedly demolished to make way for a new hyperspace express route. For Arthur Dent, who has only just had his house demolished that morning, this seems already to be rather a lot to cope with. Sadly, however, the weekend has only just begun. The Galaxy may offer a mind-boggling variety of ways to be blown up and/or insulted, but it's very hard to get a cup of tea.The Restaurant at the End of the UniverseWhen all questions of space, time, matter and the nature of being have been resolved, only one question remains - 'Where shall we have dinner?' The Restaurant at the End of the Universe provides the ultimate gastronomic experience, and for once there is no morning after to worry about.Life, the Universe and EverythingFollowing a number of stunning catastrophes, Arthur Dent is surprised to find himself living in a hideously miserable cave on prehistoric Earth. However, just as he thinks that things cannot get possibly worse, they suddenly do. An eddy in the space-time continuum lands him, Ford Prefect, and their flying sofa in the middle of the cricket ground at Lord's, just two days before the world is due to be destroyed by the Vogons. Escaping the end of the world for a second time, Arthur, Ford, and their old friend Slartibartfast embark (reluctantly) on a mission to save the whole galaxy from fanatical robots. Not bad for a man in his dressing gown.So Long, and Thanks for All the FishThere is a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. It's not an easy thing to do, and Arthur Dent thinks he's the only human who's been able to master this nifty little trick – until he meets Fenchurch, the woman of his dreams. Fenchurch once realised how the world could be made a good and happy place. Unfortunately, she's forgotten. Convinced that the secret lies within God's Final Message to His Creation, they go in search of it. And, in a dramatic break with tradition, actually find it . . .Mostly HarmlessArthur Dent has settled down on the small planet Lamuella and has embraced his role as a Sandwich Maker. However, his plans for a quiet life are thrown awry by the unexpected arrival of his daughter. There's nothing worse than a frustrated teenager with a copy of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in their hands. When she runs away, Arthur goes after her determined to save her from the horrors of the universe. After all - he's encountered most of them before.

Arthur Dent e seus quatro estranhos companheiros viajam pela Galáxia a bordo da nave Coração de Ouro, em uma busca desesperada por algum lugar para comer. Depois de fazer a refeição mais estranha de suas vidas, eles seguem pelo espaço e acabam descobrindo a questão sobre a Vida, o Universo e Tudo Mais.

O Restaurante no Fim do Universo é o segundo livro da série O Guia do Mochileiro das Galáxias, de Douglas Adams, e conta a história de Arthur Dent e seus amigos que viajam pela Galáxia em busca de um lugar para comer. O livro é marcado pelo humor e ironia do autor, que zomba da humanidade e leva o leitor a refletir sobre a forma como conduzimos a vida e a política. A série O Guia do Mochileiro das Galáxias começou como um programa de rádio no final dos anos 1970 e teve tanto sucesso que se transformou em livros, série de TV, vídeo games, quadrinhos e peças de teatro.

Praticamente Inofensiva é tão polêmico quanto seu criador. Muitos o consideram o último volume da série O Mochileiro das Galáxias e outros afirmam tratar-se de um título independente, que apenas utiliza os mesmos personagens. Parte dessa controvérsia se deve aos 13 anos que separam este livro da primeira aventura de Arthur Dent, já que Adams iniciou a coleção no final dos anos 1970 e somente em 1992 retomou a história. As inúmeras mudanças políticas, culturais e, principalmente, tecnológicas que aconteceram nesse período influenciaram os rumos da narrativa e tornaram Praticamente Inofensiva uma obra singular. Mas, em vez de perder o tom, Adams é ainda mais irônico e profundo ao divagar sobre a vida, o Universo e tudo mais.

This potential merger builds on the long history of collaboration between Skydance and Paramount, which includes a five-year co-financing and distribution agreement that started in 2009 and was renewed twice before ending in 2021. Skydance has been expanding its reach in recent years, launching Skydance Television in 2013 and Skydance Animation in 2017, and has also signed a multi-year feature film deal with Apple TV+ and secured a $1 billion credit facility for investments. If the merger is successful, it would create a new entity, "New Paramount," with David Ellison at the helm, marking a significant shift in the entertainment industry landscape.https://cosmicbook.news/skydance-media-paramount Apex Legends - In Apex Legends Season 22, major changes to the battle pass system have sparked backlash from players.

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1=======================================================================VIRTUOSADevoción Matutina Para Mujeres 2024Narrado por: Sirley DelgadilloDesde: Bucaramanga, Colombia===================|| www.drministries.org ||===================13 DE JULIOCUANDO LO POCO ES MUCHO«Cuídense ustedes de toda avaricia; porque la vida no depende del poseer muchas cosas» (Luc. 12:15).John Bunyan (1628-1688), predicador inglés y autor de El progreso del peregrino, era hijo de un comerciante, y un joven con muy poca educación formal, cuando se casó. Su esposa era una mujer muy pobre, cuya dote consistió en dos libros: Plain Man's Pathway to Heaven [El camino al cielo del hombre sencillo], de Arthur Dent, y Practice of Piety [La práctica de la piedad], de Lewis Bayly. Nada de dinero, nada de fincas ni de casas, solo dos libros; sin embargo, «estas obras influyeron en la decisión de Bunyan de seguir una vida religiosa».*Impactado por la lectura de esos dos libros que constituían toda la dote de su esposa, Bunyan profundizó en su conocimiento de Dios y en su relación personal con él, y llegó a escribir una de las más influyentes obras clásicas de contenido religioso que se hayan publicado. Traducida a más de doscientos idiomas, El progreso del peregrino relata de manera alegórica el camino del cristiano hacia la salvación, inspirando a los lectores a avanzar por ese camino. Qué manera de «sacar el mejor provecho posible de lo poco».Una dote de dos simples libros, que aparentemente no era nada, cambió la vida de una persona que, gracias a la transformación que experimentó con su lectura, llegó a ser una influencia en el mundo a favor del bien. Sin embargo, cuántas veces recibimos «dotes» de alto valor económico que tienen el potencial de alejarnos de Dios, convirtiéndonos en influencias a favor del materialismo y la superficialidad. Jesús nos invita a reflexionar seriamente en esto cuando pregunta: «¿De qué le sirve al hombre ganar el mundo entero, si pierde la vida?» (Mar. 8: 36). Te lanzo esta pregunta hoy porque es importante tener una respuesta. Como sabes, «donde esté tu riqueza, allí estará también tu corazón» (Mat. 6: 21).«Más vale adquirir sabiduría que oro; más vale entendimiento que plata», leemos en Proverbios 16: 16. Así que «no nos fijemos en lo que se ve, sino en lo que no se ve, ya que las cosas que se ven son pasajeras, pero las que no se ven son eternas» (2 Cor. 4:18). «A pocos se les pueden confiar grandes riquezas debido a la fuerte tentación de apegarse a ellas y descuidar la preparación para la vida venidera», afirma el Comentario bíblico adventista.** Que lo poco que tenemos nos ayude a desarrollar un carácter el cielo; ¡eso sí es sacarle el máximo provecho!«Tiene que aprender una lección: sacar el mejor provecho posible de lo poco». Elena G. de White.* https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bunyan.**Comentario a Proverbios 15: 16.

Book Club #98 - 42 The Wildly Improbably Ideas of Douglas Adams - Richard talks to Kevin Jon Davies, the editor of this fascinating collection of items from the archives of Douglas Adams. They chat about the insight the notes, letters, scripts and thoughts give to the mind of this extraordinary thinker, the notebooks that started with optimism, moved into self-hatred and then largely remained blank (that most writers will be familiar with), the alternate reality where Adams gave up writing, what Arthur Dent was almost called, how unusually for a writer Adams became a celebrity himself and the unusual focus of the paparazzi at the film premiere. A terrific insight into the man and his work from someone who worked alongside him.Buy the book here - https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/42-the-wildly-improbable-ideas-of-douglas-adams-douglas-adams/7442032?ean=9781800182684See Rich's stand-up tour Can I Have My Ball Back - https://richardherring.com/ballback/ Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/rhlstp.

The Salmon of Doubt is the title of the unfinished third Dirk Gently novel or the Sixth Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy novel depending on who you talk to and when you talk to them. It is also the title of a curated collection of writings published after the death of Douglas Adams. The aforementioned Salmon of Doubt is contained in this volume. We will not be discussing it. We are going to talk about most everything else in the book except it. But do not fear. We will circle back to it in a few episodes.This has been a Froods for Thought production.

The story of The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy begins when a 6-foot ape descendant named Arthur Dent is saved from the destruction of planet Earth thanks to Ford Prefect, who is in fact from a small planet somewhere in the vicinity of Betlegeuse, and not from Guildford as Arthur had first thought.

This week we return to the universe of the Hitchhiker's Guide as we discuss the sequel The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams.   Host: Dr. Nic Hoffmann Panel: Mike Burns and Mike Carroll "Now celebrating the 42nd anniversary of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," “Douglas Adams is a terrific satirist.”—The Washington Post Book World Facing annihilation at the hands of the warlike Vogons? Time for a cup of tea! Join the cosmically displaced Arthur Dent and his uncommon comrades in arms in their desperate search for a place to eat, as they hurtle across space powered by pure improbability. Among Arthur's motley shipmates are Ford Prefect, a longtime friend and expert contributor to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the three-armed, two-headed ex-president of the galaxy; Tricia McMillan, a fellow Earth refugee who's gone native (her name is Trillian now); and Marvin, the moody android. Their destination? The ultimate hot spot for an evening of apocalyptic entertainment and fine dining, where the food speaks for itself (literally). Will they make it? The answer: hard to say. But bear in mind that The Hitchhiker's Guide deleted the term “Future Perfect” from its pages, since it was discovered not to be! “What's such fun is how amusing the galaxy looks through Adams's sardonically silly eyes.”—Detroit Free Press" - From the Del Rey back cover.

Here is a link to this episode in our YouTube channel where you can see what they are seeing... https://youtu.be/WxVtB4quUusThis has been a Froods for Thought production.

We're having a chat about characters that differ from the source material and turn out crap because of it. Characters where the people adapting them didn't care, understand, or even take time to read the original stuff because they thought they knew better. There are a lot of instances where characters are adapted from source material and get totally messed up because the writers either don't understand or care about the source material they're taking from. Were not talking about being exactly true to a book, we're talking about understanding and respecting the characters so you can translate them to another medium and still have them recognisable and be themselves. There are many examples of poor character translation… apparently this is what happened with The Witcher in the 3rd season of the show. The story is that the led actor, Henry Cavil is a fan of the character from the books and games and took exception to the character's dilution and sidelining as the series progressed. We've been told that the writers for the show would openly laugh at the source material, something they're not really qualified to do since even the well regarded first series is extremely badly written and only gets the praise it does because of Cavel's portrayal of the lead character. An example that's very near and dear to me is the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie. This is a sort of a special case since the author had SOME involvement in it before he died but not enough apparently. the characters of Arthur Dent as played by Martin Freeman and Ford Prefect by Mos Def are terrible interpretations, so much so that they end up actively damaging the movie and harming the story. The essence of Arthur's character is a bemused, suburban British superiority: He has an expectation that as a British citisen his rights should be respected, his opinion should be listened to, people should understand his language, and things should conform to his suburban understanding of what is normal and good, all this is signaled by his wearing of Pajamas, a dressing gown and slippers the whole time. Whereas Martin Freeman's version simply doesn't understand what he's seeing and goes through the whole movie with an affronted frown on his stupid face. This is absolutely incorrect! Rather than not understanding anything Arthur is suppose to believe that he understands everything, but only in simple, suburban British terms,so that he can go through the story with a sense of befuddled superiority. Ford Prefect is supposed to be cool. He's easy going, and just meshes with whatever situation he's in, even if he doesn't understand it. He's very smart and quick to adapt. Mos Def's version is just a moron who looks good. All that said,Sam Rockwell's version of Zaphod was more perfect than perfect, and Zoe Dashenell was perfectly fine as Trillian, but that character was never ever written well to begin with in the original. What characters do you think with translated poorly in an adaption? Adam West's Batman? Hernry Cavil's Superman? Who?

G&G 199 – We know, we know. We been busy. But let’s start this party with a bang and begin a new series we have creatively called “Retro Replay.” “Arthur_Dent_6x7” spilled the beans that he’s never played the Ezio Trilogy of Assassin’s Creed games before.

Don't Panic“Hitchhiker's by its very nature has always been twisty and turny, and going off into every direction. A film demands a certain shape and discipline that the material just isn't inclined to fit into.”This is a quote by Douglas Adams, creator and writer of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Despite his (and many others') opinion that the material was mostly harmless (and unfilmable!), Adams was adamant for the big screen adventures of Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, Zaphod Beeblebrox, Trillian and Marvin, after successful BBC radio and TV series, and stage shows.A movie version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was originally mooted in 1982, which would never materialise, but it led to Adams' relaxation of the idea that all his characters must be British, and Adams was fully involved throughout writing the screenplay. The project was resurrected in early 2001 by director Jay Roach, and once again Douglas Adams would write the screenplay, adding new material and insisting only Arthur needed to be British... Adams' sudden death in May 2001 left the producers with two options: say "So long, and thanks for all the fish", or "Don't panic" and carry on with the movie Douglas Adams so desperately wanted to see...I would love to hear your thoughts on The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005) !CONTACT....
