ok - that makes sense - about the machine being wrong

and it fits into the whole sort of... well I don't know if "dry" would be the proper word, sense of humor of the whole "Hitchhiker's..." universe

I'm going backwards, you know?

like the movie - show - books

honestly, I would never have rented the show (and will be buying it) or even consider reading the books, if it wasn't for the movie, which I thought was very funny.

sure, there were some 'eh' parts... but what are you gonna do? I mean, you can't contain the entire series (either the books or the show) within one movie. As one unit... I thought it was great. I kinda even prefer the Mos Def version of Ford Prefect than the actor on the show.
