WOW

chaze · 09-30-2006, 02:07 AM

Yep, I didn't like it much though. I mean it's fun for sure.

notabook · 09-30-2006, 02:09 AM

It's a great movie, crazy all the way through. Especially the god damn mice :|

webgurl · 09-30-2006, 02:23 AM

yeah its pretty wild

Chichio · 09-30-2006, 02:30 AM

Did you like it? I kinda got bored with it.

Wiggles · 09-30-2006, 02:59 AM

Ya robot was good

Lee · 09-30-2006, 03:11 AM

Marvin, to me it was enjoyable but literally just an up to date version of the TV programme.

The whole series of books are great though as were all of Douglas Adams'.

Dagwolf · 09-30-2006, 03:27 AM

The books and the TV movies were great. The new one, not so much i thought

jayeff · 09-30-2006, 03:37 AM

Hitchhikers started out as a radio show (on the BBC in the UK) and for me that was its funniest format. The Beeb did a pretty good job of bringing it to TV and the "trilogy in five parts" (the books) weren't bad either.

But following HHG in the various formats gets confusing because although the story starts out the same way, the details and timelines vary in each medium and soon even the basic storylines diverge. That's because Adams himself rewrote his own contributions and because he was not the only writer involved in (some of) the scripts.

The movie, which has quite a different plot from the radio and the TV series (although it broadly covers the span of the first few radio programs), lost a lot of the original humor and "feel". Picking up the pace to condense the stories into a single movie didn't really work either.

gideongallery · 09-30-2006, 03:47 AM

i liked the original tv series and the radio broadcast, the new movie sort of sucked by comparision

i tell people who have never seen it watch the movie first or you will be disappointed

dissipate · 09-30-2006, 03:51 AM

The movie was utterly horrible compared to the book. I honestly wanted to leave half way through it when i saw it in the theatre

Ummm. Don't tell me you didn't read the books...

bl4h · 09-30-2006, 08:10 AM

havent seen the recent movie, but i read the books and saw an older movie

good stuff

Crasy Bitch · 09-30-2006, 08:19 AM

Yeah ! the BF made me watch it... i liked it but not enough to watch it again

AVM · 09-30-2006, 08:30 AM

Loved it.

I've watched it plenty of times, and love the underlying (yet heavy laden throughout) social commentary.

Earth has exploded. Arthur is on a SPACESHIP, "in space". etc etc etc.
He see's Trinity slice bread with this fancy-furturistic knife.

"WOW". haha

Great movie to show people with a close-minded, self-indulgent perspective (or maybe not? Will just annoy them).

"I, Me, Mine".

Then suddenly this person watches a scene where the entire Universe (among many other universes) are being represented as building blocks being pushed by a shuffleboard stick. Albeit most do not get the merit to scenes like this and think it is "creative" fiction....and to a point, it is. But the "aliens" represented are, not the size/space way things work. That's just how it is (or how our reptilian brains perceive it).

wedouglas · 09-30-2006, 08:37 AM

You guys need to read the books. They are 1000000 times better.

UniversalPass Pete · 09-30-2006, 08:39 AM

Thought it was lame

I agree - infact I broke the dvd in half because I didn't want anyone else to have to sit through a single second of it.

MaDalton · 09-30-2006, 09:11 AM

i think i read the books about 10 times - and i'm not going to watch the movie

fuzebox · 09-30-2006, 10:11 AM

It's got nothingggg on the books...

But then if you squeezed everything from the first book into the movie it would be 8 hours long, just like the radio show, so obviously you have to cut a lot of stuff out to make for a quick 2 hour mainstream flick.

Mad man · 09-30-2006, 10:29 AM

This time the book is much better

The book made me laught my ass off, The humor didn?t transition to well to the movie

Vitasoy · 09-30-2006, 10:58 AM

Saw it a long long time ago

Fizzgig · 09-30-2006, 10:59 AM

I'm a HUGE fan of Douglas Adams.

Sarah_Jayne · 09-30-2006, 11:31 AM

Radio plays were the best, books were great...the film was fun for the fans. It had to rush through a bit but I thought it did a good job. For me it was like the kids that see Harry Potter after reading the books because I was ticking off my faveorite bits. I did wonder how many people saw it and thought they stole thinks like Trillian and Babelfish from the internet rather than them coming from Hitchhikers.

Well, it was a radio play first. He is right that the story changes a bit as it moves to differnt formats.

quiet · 09-30-2006, 12:39 PM

the books kick major ass - some of my favorites. i didn't really like the movie. the bbc series was far, far better than the movie imo.

webgurl · 09-30-2006, 01:13 PM

I think Mos Def played a good role in this movie

SilentBean · 09-30-2006, 02:28 PM

I haven't seen the movie (yet), but I loved the book.
