Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy

Hey folks!Long time no see Well, I've been lurking alot actually. Just thought I'd drop by and ask if any fans of THGTG bothered to see the movie that premiered this weekend?I quite liked it. Alot of people were complaining that it was crappy but over all I thought it was pretty good. Granted, it was not up to the caliber of the books as far as whit is concerned, but I think the film stayed true in spirit.They did tack on a cheesy love story though. I could have done without that.What did you all think?

I liked what they did with Marvin as far as the way he looked. I thought his costume was excelent. But then again Im a sucker for good production design I dunno, I feel like going to watch it again. I mean it really was entertaining heheheh.I picked up the book to re-read it again. Lots of nostalgia! It was actually the first book I ever read. I was like 6 years old and I took it from my mothers bookshelf. I read the whole series and it has been a heavy influence on my life, and sense of humor ever since.

Well, it is pretty well known that DNA was a staunch athist and a total biology/science buff. Heck, Richard Dawkins was one of his good friends. As such, THGTG has some very funny, very anti-religious, jokes.One of the best of which was the babel fish gag, which I think Disney was afraid would upset audiences by making god disapear in a puff of logic
