Hitchhiker's Movie is Bad, says Adams Biographer
Rollerbob writes "MJ Simpson, who has 'been studying and documenting the life and career of Douglas Adams for more than 20 years', has written a very in-depth review and plot analysis of the Hitchhiker's movie. As well as the full review that contains SPOILERS , he has also published a shortened spoiler-free version, as well as a list of things from the radio plays, records, books and TV series that have not been included in the movie. Hitchhiker's fans, prepare to be like Marvin ... very depressed."
"I personally, with no intention to troll, feel that this is what happens when you let an American write English humour."
Because you'll never find an American writing that kind of humour - I mean, there wasn't an American on Monty Python team was there? And surely that's "English" humour if anything.
Oh wait, there was.
Yes, yes, I know, Touchstone is owned by the Walt Disney Company
Disney, the progenitor of the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act. When you buy a ticket to HHGTTG, some of your $10 goes toward lobbying for Bono Act II and DMCA II.
but the types of movies that Touchstone produces are far different from the types of movies that Disney produces.
So do you think Pirates of the Caribbean should have been labeled Touchstone Pictures rather than Walt Disney Pictures?
+5 insightful for "So many unsolvable puzzles"??
-5 retarded (or -5 ADD victim) is more appropriate.
dude, I was like 12 when i played it and it only took about two months, and most of the kids i knew solved it too. we didn't even have BBS access, this was mid-80's!
Unsolvable? OMG, saying that is like standing up on a table in a crowded room and shouting "Look at me, folks! I'm a fucking idiot!"

Pity about your lack of grammar skills. Parents grammar parses just fine, although parentheses or dashes would have been made it clearer, rather than commas. For the record, you made me grin - just for the effort - but you've a long way to go to even claim to be emulating Monty Python.
Caesar si viveret, ad remum dareris.
Maybe we want big set pieces with lots of action, good special effects and scifi plots.
You can denigrate it all you want, but that's what I want.
If I change my mind for some reason I can come over and watch the "Romance" and "Lifetime" channels with you.

"ouch" ? Are you one of the film makers? You shouldn't take reviews personally.
