Isn't that with Tom Cruise? bleh... Think I'd rather watch the tutsi version then.

Oh and GS, bravo on the "Colonial" statement, almost peed my pants

3 out of 5.
The pacing of most of the jokes just doesnt transfer to the movie. Most of the people laughing were laughing becuase they remembered how funny that part of the book was not becuase how funny it was in the movie.

I never really got into "Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy" but I loved "Red Dwarf" how could you not laugh when you have a character called "Rimmer"

Honestly I've never read the book, I was allways into other sci fi series stuff. With that said I will probably enjoy the movie.

Often enough I see a movie that enlightens me to the book and I end up enjoying the book AND movie that much more.

The book because I have a better visual understanding to build on

The movie because It isn't ruined by a preconcieved notion of what to expect.

Several examples of this are:

Starship Troopers: (NOTHING ALIKE but cheasy acting aside the movie was good and the book was excellent)

Battlefield Earth: The book went into alot more detail. The movie wasn't the greatest but enjoyable.

There's alot more but I can't think of them now.

Steve - you're welcome here any time. BTW, you never did say why you thought AH2 sucked. I'm eager to hear...

It was enjoyable. Sorta. None of the characters were "just right" to me, but then I have no idea how to articulate who WOULD be, so I guess thats not a good criticism. Although the movie didnt truly follow the book, Douglas Adams DID write the screenplay, so I assume he knew what he was doing with his own work. Marvin wasnt quite the "look" I had pictuered, but his voice and attitude (and Eddie's as well) were right on and hilarious. I was happy enough that they included the scene with the whale falling out of the sky and whomping into the planet with a mushroom cloud above him.

Anyway, not bad.
