LOL
Darth could still be a title in that exchange.
All this flak about a movie that was good in the 70's, that has somehow supposed to have evloved into some kind of high art.
Fly shit... pepper, like it matters.
This is one of the reasons that it failed on FOX, not enough exposure and at first glance it just looks like the usual TV SCI-FI fare... with horses.
Give it a chance, there are some awesome stories here.
One of the main characters of the story... (well, narrator) was rendered pretty much un-interesting by today's tech. You can google from a wireless PDA or phone and get just about any kind of mis-information you need.
A guide with a bunch of simple graphics and sound just isnt that impressive anymore.
My first taste of H2G2 was a broadcast on PBS in the US of the BBC series. What really captured my attention was the guide and the animated sequences it had.
Back when CGA graphics were just being thought about, here was this little computer with color graphics, animation and sound (and that connection to the sub-etha). Itlooked better than anything on an Atari 2600.
Even though it was frame cell animation, it still showed up on the geekdar pretty clear.
Short of that, the movie is ok. Some funny stuff and some neat effects. Zooey has nice eyes.
It's not the book, its not the radio show or the tv-series... it's the movie.

You want safe.. stay home. Buckle the seat-belts and light it up.
Westerns never made it... Shows like Gunsmoke and Bonanza were never much of a success, besides... those people are all dead now anyway.
