I though you were taking about stealing hotel towels at first.

Just seen the previews on TV..not too impressed by that...

The Heart of Gold, which is described as looking like a white sleek running shoe in the books..is portrayed as a big white Golfball in the movie...not to mention Marvin looks stupid as hell...I'll go see it, but I hope they didn't change the story too much. At least Trillian doesn't seem to be a dumb Blonde as was portrayed in that abortion of a TV series they tried to do a while back.

"Hey you sass that hoopy ASTAC? Now there's a frood that really knows where his towel is"

If it's bad, I'll just assume there's a SEP field in place.

I've heard that the movie is almost, but not entirely, unlike the book. I look forward to seeing it anyhow, I have a history of enjoying movie adaptations that are less then completely faithful (Starship Troopers, for example).

Verhoeven would not have been able to pull off Starship Troopers had he done it like the book.

There are just some things you cannot make into a movie.

I expect the BBC version will prove to be better. but I'll go see iot to make sure.

Ive always liked to watch BBC for shows instead of the american version. When it aired, I watched Red Dwarf all the time before it was cancelled. Season 8 seems dry and wasnt as funny or original at the ones before it. Was that the last season for the entire show?

of course. the book takes the militaristic stance seriously. It would make a freaking boring movie

I loved the book. Don't know if I will go see the movie, maybe wait till it comes on DVD. It looks like something I'd rather watch at home than in theaters.

Adams himself, in the foreword to the compendium admits that NONE of the various versions agree or have any relevance to the other iterations, so there really is no room to ***** about the movie being "different" than the radio show/books. If the movie sucks as a stand-alone thing, that is a valid complaint, however.
