[edit]

The level of quoting here is perhaps a bit excessive in terms of fair use/copyright? I also think that the quotation from the film is so similar to the book that it's inclusion is OTT. --kingboyk 21:00, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Concur.

I'm not sure the first quote is appropriate.

[edit]

the majority of it refers to Azgoth poetry. The first sentence is really all that's necessary. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.70.143.93 (talk) 00:18, 11 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Agree, and furthermore, the quote seems to be incorrect. My versions of the book have Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings, not Paul Neil Milne Johnstone...--Ioshus(talk) 18:33, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
And of Greenbridge, Essex, not Redbridge...--Ioshus(talk) 18:35, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It depends upon what you consider 'correct'. The original radio scripts had Paul Neil Milne Johnstone. However, that name, not coincidentally, belonged to a former schoolmate of Douglas Adams, and it was changed for the novel. Gavroche42 21:01, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Movie difference

[edit]

Might want to include that the next to last line from the Vogon poetry scene in the book and TV series was left out in the movie, making the joke... not a joke at all. NOBODY laughed at that scene in the theater I went to for the premiere. "Actually, I write poetry to cast my cold, callous exterior into sharp relief!" <-Who made the decision to leave this line out of the movie?! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bizzybody (talkcontribs) 09:22, 21 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Lewis

[edit]

Shouldn`t Lewis Carrol`s Jabberwocky be given credit here?Andycjp (talk) 18:09, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
