Hitchhikers Guide Movie Might Become a Trilogy

Posted by timothy on from the don't-let-lucas-touch-it dept.

Noiser writes "The BBC reports that The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie could be turned into a trilogy. I wonder if they mean that it might turn into a trilogy in five parts, just like the book? I wish it did - unlike some people, I liked all of them..."

    ... a good mix of Adam's insanity...

    His name is Douglas Adams, not Douglas Adam. Therefore the insanity that belongs to Adams is Adams's insanity, not Adam's, or even Adams', though the latter case is also considered permissable since it's a proper noun.

    Yeah, I suppose Hollywood doesn't think Americans are capable of dealing with the dark shit that keeps happening to Arthur. Even Adams seemed to repenting in the fourth book, only to come back and really give it to him in the fifth book.

    Speaking of which, one of several reasons I only go to 1 or 2 movies a year anymore is because the pre-show advertising keeps getting longer and longer. I foresee a day when the pre-show advertising is longer than the movie itself, but I digress. Anyway, it would appear that we have no less than 2 or maybe even 3 inspirational loser coach adopts loser team and they all magically become winner stories coming up. How about doing one where some loser coach adopts a loser team and they all prove to the world that they really ARE just a bunch of complete fucking losers? Just for a change, I mean? Oh and it looks like someone's doing a Jumanji ripoff without the Robin Williams. Yippee.

    You must have been watching a different movie than the one I saw, because the stuff they replaced it with was very much not funny -- unless you're a two year old and like to see people get hit in the face with a giant mutant fly swatter, which was argueably the most amusing moment in the film (which isn't saying much) outside of the guide bits that they made politically correct.
