[Klaynos]

[RedAlert]

What is the movie about?

[Lance]

What is the movie about?

 

The book of course.

[Dak]

british humor, towels, and amazingly euphoric robots called collin (hes my favorite), time travel, atleast one instance of spontaniously existing penguines, and tea.

 

hang-on-wait, is this made by hollywood? i dont think a us company can have done it very well...

[YT2095]

oh no, not again (

 

I feel like that petunia in the plant pot falling off the windowsill, or maybe even the whale? yes the whale feels far more depressing

 

*sigh*

[Rakdos]

Im going on Friday and taking a towel and drinking a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster

 

 

 

 

 

42!!!!!!!!

[Dak]

googles calculator knows its true link

[J'Dona]

Gonna see it on Friday, it's my birthday too.

 

Supposedly the film isn't amazingly funny, or at least not as funny as the book, and they've had to cut out large bits. What worries me is that I heard Disney made it, though maybe only in a peripheral part (I can't find the info online at the moment).

 

Good choice for Marvin's voice actor though.

[RICHARDBATTY]

I only saw a few episodes as a kid but I liked the idea. I have been waiting for years to see an updated version that did the script justice. Basicly YAY. Got baby sitter will travel.

[Hellbender]

I'm fully prepared to be dogpiled upon when I ask; what is this movie (I know it is based on a book) about? Whats the deal with "towels"? I am a fan of good scifi, so I am naturally interested.

[Dak]

have you ever read terry prattchet? hes the closest in wrighting style to douglas adams (wrighter of HG2G) that i can think of.

 

without giving to much away, its about space travel.

 

does anyone know which books its based on? from previouse incarnations of the story, it seems as if its random what bits of which books any given version will follow, and what order it will follow it in (eg, i think the first book is the aall of the first radio series and the last half of the second radio seriese - the first half of the radio series doesnt come till book three or something)

It hovers above the unlearned and unrefined in much the same way a brick doesn't.

 

Careful or we'll start reciting Vogon poetry at you.

[rajama]

Got to admit, I've taken the day off Friday to see it.

 

Bill Nighy is Slartibartfarst! You know, I just searched on Slartibartfarst and Google corrected my spelling...

[J'Dona]

Actually, in terms of continuity, storyline, and overall general pointfulness, the books are quite poor. Parts of the third and fourth books completely contradict the earlier ones, and the fifth not only does the same again but kills off a central character of the fourth book in a footnote, and then devotes a whole second footnote to describing their partner's sadness about this (almost the whole fourth book was about their relationship).

 

It just happens that all this doesn't matter, because the books are some of the funniest things ever created by man. Unfortunately, a lot of the humour is in the actual language rather than the dialogue or action, so any movie will miss out on a lot of it.

How many people are going friday, at 12 am, like me? That's right...I'll have my towel and everything! I can't Wait...
