		He then pretended that his memory suddenly returned with a rush and that the shock caused him to pass out again, but he was helped unwillingly to his feet by the empty suit--which he was beginning to take a serious dislike to--and forced to come to terms with his surroundings.

		Zaphod Beeblebrox is hired to help locate a supposedly uncrashable ship at the bottom of an ocean.
		Although I haven't yet seen any commercials, and the only trailer I saw was decidedly low on footage, I know the Hitchhiker's Guide movie will be out soon and I'm starting to get this feeling it might be good.
		Given that it's so short, and that it stars the nearly unlikeable Zaphod, this wasn't the most remarkable entry in the "increasingly innacurately named triology." But it was funny, and scary, and made me miss the author all the more.

	Mimsy Review: Hitchhiker’s Guide
		Zaphod introduces Arthur to Trillian and Marvin the Paranoid Android.
		Together the five of them have wonderful adventures and do really wild things throughout time and space, and don’t understand any of it (except for Trillian, who is a physicist, and so understands a little of it).
		A fascinating story, touching, silly, and funny, lovingly illustrated by Jon J. Muth, about a young boy who, after growing up in a small and insular community where he was an outcast, is cast into a universe which he can never call home.
