i saw this for the first time tonight too!

i loved the books, i'm surprised it took me so long to see the movie. to be honest though, i liked the books better. like, adams' writing style is what makes them so funny, and it really just doesn't carry over to film, no matter how hard you try. like;

"the spaceship floated gracefully through the sky, much the same way as bricks don't"

every other sentence is like that, and they're mostly narrative lines, half the humor is outside the dialogue. there is one part that i'm annoyed that they didn't include, it's when arthur and ford are inside the vogon ship, and it's about to go into hyperspace. ford says something like;

"be careful, this is going to be unpleasant...it's a lot like being drunk"

and arthur goes; "what's so bad about being drunk?"

"just ask a glass of water"

and the "mostly harmless" thing was in a deleted scene, i wish it were in the main movie though. overall, i liked it anyway. better than the TV series at least, the casting was much much better (trillian and zaphod just didnt work for me at all in the TV series)



wait, this isn't some kind of goodbye thread, is it

[Echewta]

good luck cosmo. i know things will work out and rock.

[zorra_chiflada]

is cosmo leaving? :(

[cosmo105]

no sillybuns! i was just watching hitchhiker's guide last night. and yeah, the movie wasn't so great. they tried to dumb it down for a public that wouldn't get it, and in the process lost the wit and humor that made the books so great.

The TV series was better

The TV series was better

i don't know, i didn't really like it that much, i thought it was too....cheesy, maybe...i don't know exactly what i didn't like it about it, but it didn't work for me. i really didn't like some of the casting choices for it. trillian just didn't seem right at all, but arthur and ford were pretty good. i liked the golgafrinchans too.

I always carry a towel with me on my travels.
I can dry myself with it, I can lie on it on a warm beach, I can wrap myself with it when it gets cold, I can cover myself from hot sun, and I can easily convince my fellow passengers I'd ran out of shampoo/soap/toothpaste/instant coffee when I have my towel. :D

Well I am old enough to remember when it was first aired back in 1980/81 and it was fucking great at the time.I thought the casting was great but it seemed a bit squeezed in,oviously as it was only 6 half hour episodes.They could have done more from the book

[adrockmelanie]

The TV series had the BEST theme-tune. Did they keep of for the film?
