The words are from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, but aren’t the images stills from The Neverending Story?
Is this one of those ‘“Use the Force, Luke” -Gandalf, with an image of Harry Potter’ type memes?

It’s Princess Irulan played by Virginia Madsen in the 1984 version of Dune
Aha! Thank you.
Just add “- Terry Pratchett” to complete it
I mean, Pratchett and Adams hung around each other and influenced each other’s work, so…
Pratchett is quoted as admiring Adams’ work but I’m not sure it goes much further than that unless you’ve seen anything specific?
Yes
Perfect answer. No notes.
Aren’t we all…

Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.
Re-read the 5-part trilogy recently. So good…
I’ve had my thumb out for years and haven’t caught sign of a single ship, I’m fairly sure the hyperspace bypass was built to go around this backwater planet not through it.
Has anyone heard from the dolphins lately?
So long and thanks for all the fish.
The Matrix was right. Lynch’s Dune was peak humanity.
“Things” might not have been better as a whole 20 years ago but my knees and back sure as shit were.
I think the entire idea of going down from the trees was also a bad idea.
Some of our ancestors had the right idea of just going back into the ocean.
I don’t know about that. Digital watches are pretty neat.
