Re: The hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy
I'm with gambit on this one .

I was very close to getting up and walking out in disgust .It made me sick in the guts and left me in a shitting mood for days . Yea it was pretty with all the eye candy but seemed to lack substance and any depth . Just another bad hollywood mash of book by turning it into a love story to keep the masses happy.

The only thing that gave it a smidgeon of credibility was the camo by Marvin.

I think I was 7 or 8 when I first watched the BBC tv version and started reading the books and it kind of was a special part of my childhood . I'm all for progression and taking it to the next level but I just dont think the guys making the blockbuster version got it , or the sense of humour of Douglas Adams .
