  1. Re:Great Hollywood Arkleseizure on Hitchhiker's Movie is Bad, says Adams Biographer · · Score: 1

    Maybe all of this is just a bad, bad dream, from which we will awaken and have the actual H2G2 film at our feet, instead of this Nutri-Matic version.

    =O

    Dude. That.. That's awful. Does this mean we fans can't bring our towels because the people who haven't read the books/seen the play/tv programme/listened to the radio show/felt the Don't Panic towel's softness between their fingers/etc won't understand what we're doing with a bath item?

    Oh, well. I'll take mine in the hope that others like me will do the same.

  3. Re:Mostly Harmless on Hitchhiker's Movie is Bad, says Adams Biographer · · Score: 1

    Once again I say I must have been under the misguided conclusion that this movie is not in fact based upon a book but eight other versions of Hitchhiker's Guide. And vital to a hithhiker's survival? I'd say knowing about the Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster is vital, don't you? But that was left out.

  4. Re:Of course it'll be crap... on Hitchhiker's Movie is Bad, says Adams Biographer · · Score: 1

    Gee, I had no idea this movie was based solely upon a book. I was under the misguided thought that the movie was based upon eight other versions of the Hitchhiker's Guide. Gee, was I ever so wrong.

    But in all seriousness, it wouldn't be an epic: if they kept everything in, it would most likely be only two hours.

    And I was hoping Zooey Deschanel would portray me instead of Trillian! Oh well. We can't all get what we want, right?

  5. Re:Books vs. Movies on Hitchhiker's Movie is Bad, says Adams Biographer · · Score: 1

    I'm not trying to be rude here at all, but have you only read the books? There're more versions of Hitchhiker's Guide out there, you know. Radio play, stage play, television show.... More than that even.

    But I have your exact same view on the books versus movie argument. However, with Hitchhiker's Guide, one has to be more lenient in this argument.

  6. Eep! on Hitchhiker's Movie is Bad, says Adams Biographer · · Score: 1

    This really does break my heart, because I've been a fan of Hitchhiker's Guide since birth (I'm 15 and my parents read it to me, and I learned to read using these books!). Maybe since I'm open to differences due to the fact that no 'Guide' version is exactly alike, I'll enjoy this movie. Ohhh, I certainly hope so. : |
