Meh. A film of the greatest book ever is coming out later this year, and by the looks of it, it's not going to be too good. I can to direct you to the films trailer website.

In defense of the film, they got Alan Rickman to play Marvin, which is a good thing, and I think Terry Jones is the voice of the guide. On the other hand, Marvin is only 4 foot tall, for some reason, and Zaphod's second head is situated underneath his primary one.
Also, the new trailer is better than the old one, which is what I was basing my criticisms off. I dunno. I just don't trust a movie of the Guide to compare to the books.

Woo! 200th message!

I don't think any movie can live up to the greatness of The Hitchhiker's Guide. I think imagination is one of the reasons that the book was so good, and how you could picture Zaphod's two heads any way you wanted to. Things like that made the book great, and I don't like movies that are going to end up screwing things up. I still plan on seeing the movie, but I doubt it's going to be anywhere close to the book.

The movie sucked.
