Just a quick one...

Because the Lost One *should* be studying for a midterm, this is going to be a quick one. Having just gotten done checking out the Ace of Spades HQ where Ace quotes this Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy fan:

"That's why there are so many wonderfully quotable lines in Hitchhiker's Guide, most of which are notable by their absence from the film. There are, astoundingly, individual phrases and even words that have been removed. For example, in the Vogon poetry scene which, like Prosser's confrontation, is now so short as to be utterly pointless, Arthur’s line "counterpoint the surrealism of the underlying metaphor", a brilliantly crafted piece of faux literary critique, has become "counterpoint the underlying metaphor." How is that justified? Did someone try to keep the film under two hours by crossing out some of the long words?"

The Lost One now requires the most sacred of assurances from you, gentle readers. If in any future post the Lost One ever says something like, "in the Vogon poetry scene which, like Prosser's confrontation, is now so short as to be utterly pointless, Arthur’s line 'counterpoint the surrealism of the underlying metaphor' "...Err, whatever, or bemoans the lack of " faux literary critique" please, for the love of all that is sacred, kill me. The Lost One would consider such action a kindness beyond measure. And with that, back to studying for Profesora F______.
