And I'll be interacting with Turing as well.<br /><br />As far as the second head, I thought it was a really novel concept. And a great fix that prevents us from experinencing another BBC not so special effect (though I still have a place in my heart for that paper mache head). Eliza’s definitely a jumping off point.

It was basically the first (or amongst the first) program that people unwittingly chatted with thinking that it was a person.<br /><br />As far as HHGttG goes, the trailer shows some promise. There's always the problem of what to do with Zaphod. Looks like it's under his neck or something. Not too bad. It definitely saved them some money! :) Like most movies today, I think I have to reserve judgement until I see it as many movies look good/bad in the trailers but end up being horrible/excellent when shown in their full glory.
