Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Screening Reviews

Posted by michael on from the marvin-i-love-you-marvin-i-love-you dept.

Doctor Monkey writes "Initial reviews are up at Ain't It Cool News from a 'work-in-progress' screening of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in Pasadena, CA. Reaction seems mixed-to-positive, mostly due to some uneven performances. But it looks like the film is not a complete bastardization of Adams' work."

    Nice movie, thanks for the fish!

  2. Not a complete Battlestardization? by serutan · · Score: 2, Funny

    Good to know some studio exec didn't decide that the answer should be 43.

    For those interested the BBC radio version is available on various p2p systems. Pretty good I think.

    "not a complete bastardization of Adams' work" -- Doctor Monkey ... wonder if they'll use that one in the TV commercials.

      Sorry to disappoint. Hollywood didn't think "42" was a cool enough of an answer. The full answer is now, "Two lesbians in 69." And I should also point out that the answer is delivered by Pauly Shore's "Weasel" character.

    If it's supposed to make ears bleed and victims gouge out their eyes, would it be played to the audience? (I doubt anything Hollywood comes up with would have the same effect.. knock on wood)

    Obviously you have never seen Waterworld.
