Oh, neat, you're in Bethesda? I'm in College Park.

Anyway, Robin (Justin Long, DODGEBALL) is on a date, and Batman (really Sam Rockwell doing his usual schtick as Batman) shows up and acts like an ass. It was REALLY funny.

Rockwell ..well, ROCKS!

After 'Confessions of a Dangerous Mind' i've been a Rockwell fan, of sorts...some of his 'performances' have been bland (like 'Matchstick Men', where an actual matchstick would've had more character, or 'Galaxy Quest') but he was terriffic in 'Welcome to Collinwood' and "the Green Mile'.
'Haven't seen the 'Hitchhiker's Guide' yet, i'll catch it on DvD in the fall--takes an act of Congress to get me into a theatre these days, and i'm a longtime Hitcher--used to play the shows on WMUC-FM, the University of Maryland's station, back in early 80's.
Got a signed first edition of the first book, got a 'Don't Panic' button from Simon Jones--I know where my towel is at all times, and i'm afraid i'm too-much of a fan to put up with what they've done to the old bird.

By the way, the vid you'd referred to has been taken down, but they have a bitTorrent link posted. Maybe 'we all' will get to see it soon.

I've lived in Bethesda for about 17 years now. I used to live in College Park and remember the Varsity Grill and Hungry Herman's subshop, alas gone now. Try eating at Rolly Polly in downtown CP, great wrap-style sandwitches. Shop's owned by good friend of mine.
Mention my name and get a hard time absolutely free!
seriously.

Awesome! If I go there, do I mention daHauk?

And also, I have a show at WMUC as well. Maybe you're in the archives.

free hard time offer & WMUC-----

The owner of Roli-Poli, Matt, will know 'dahauk'(my last name is HAUK, so i'm 'daHauk','gettit?) but the 'free hard time' was just a joke son. But it is a good shop and worthwile to give them your buisness.

My radio show at WMUC was from 1980-->1986 on Saturday nights from midnight to 4AM and was called 'The Sub-Ether Waveband' a kind of Americanized version of the Hitchhiker's Guide 'Sub-EtheA Waveband'...'played up tempo electronic music and comedy. You do a show there now, huh? Cool. I stopped when the station became suddenly non-progressive and commercial. We would do live comedy sketches/interviews and were very popular at the time. Wow, it just occurs to me that you probably don't use vinyl lps anymore and do it all from CD,Cassette or cart tapes...wild..we did it all with old fashioned records---CDs weren't around yet! HA!

I don't know if I'm alone on this, but I thought Sam Rockwell in 'Galaxy Quest' was funny as hell. A really funny part in a really underrated comedy.
