Super-duper exclusive Hitchhiker's Guide movie dirt: Filmmakers run out of money, ditch special effects

You read it here first! \\ Reposts must attribute enews.org/blog! //

Here it is fans, photographic evidence that Hammer and Tongs, filmmakers responsible for bringing to life the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, have blown their entire budget on cheap hookers, expensive booze, and no tea.

In an effort to deliver the movie on time (i.e. far enough in advance of Revenge of the Ranch that it'll have enough time to make some dough) the filmmakers have had to ditch the last few scenes and have instead opted to use sock puppets.

Above: Exclusive evidence extracted from the official trailer, seen here.

A Hammer and Tongs representative refused to comment beyond this brief statement: "They were not cheap hookers."

But you've got to admit, those are mighty fine sock puppets.

Mighty fine sock puppets? The only one I can even recognize is Marvin.

Group outing to the premier? I need to see Marky boy again before too long anyway, and SF is cool.

You think you could make better sock puppets?

Oh...I get it now. Sorry. By no means do I think I could make better sock puppets. I just didn't recognize anybody ('cept Marvin, of course)...then again I've only seen the trailer once, so it's probably my fault.
