HITCHHIKERS GUIDE TO THE GALAXY MOVIE!

[koshea]

never read it or heard anything about it before but it looks like a good movie

Adams couldn't have wrote characters for the movie. He's dead.

I do want to see the movie though. I heard it's okay and that it mostly follows the storyline of THE computer and THE question.

True, he is, but he's still doing a presentation on one of the stands at the Smithsonian in DC!

Man, I LOVE those books. They are my bible.

The movie's been in the works for a LOOOONG time now. Douglas Adams' last book, The Salmon of Doubt, is a collection of stories and essays of his, many about trying to get the movie off the ground.

He also wrote another book,Last Chance to See, a nonfiction book about the world's endangered species.

ford prefect..the babel fish, the manic robot with the brain the size of a small galaxy I'll look forward to seeing that the last one I read was the restaurant at the end of the universe or was it the cafe

Ok...to update this post...the movie came out the 29th? Anyone else here seen it?
I try to look at it as something different from the book, but I still think they way over played the romantic part...and shouldnt have added in the bad guy...but it was still a good movie. Anyone else have any comments? It is currently the top box office hit here in the U.S.

my favourite books ever!

the movie will never compare to the books, but it should still be good

I saw the movie. And later I have found out that reading the books helps out a lot with this movie. I didn't like the movie at all nor did I get any of the humor it had. The humor was suggesting to subtle happenings in the books apparently. Now I am not saying its a bad movie. It had some very cool visuals, and that little depressed robot with the large head made me laugh out loud. But the movie didnt want me to get into any of the books or previous movie at all.

I have read all the Hitchhiker books, and ill be glad if what u say is true, XTC.

I've already seen the movie, Its good as long as you don't compare to the books as people have already said.

Douglass Adams had actually done a lot of work on the film before he very very unfortunately died.

Its a great loss, as was that of the late John Peel.

One of my fave hitchhikers jokes/quotes is;

Ford: It's unpleasantly like being drunk,
Arthur: What's so unpleasant about being drunk?
Ford: .. You ask a glass of water.

Took me aaaaaaages to get it, and when I did, what a cracker!!
I felt so stupid afterwards, very obvious but I was only 10 at the time.
