Bring a towel. (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie)

Ok, it's out. Who's seen it?

I'm going to see it tonight with my girlfriend. She forced me to read the first book, and I quite enjoyed it.

I'll post impressions later.

In the meanwhiles, how about yourselves?

[Happydude]

i read the book...confusing...but good, wanna watch the movie

[Swan]

I still need to read the book, need to find it. Foxxy's told me that it's hilarious.

Want to see movie.

[Dyne]

It is a hilarious book.

I imagined Eddie the computer as Freddie from Scooby Doo.


"Hi gang!"

I laughed every time he came up. I can't wait to see Zaphod in movie form too. I hear he steals the show.

Why read the book when watching the movie is so much easier and enjoyable?

In answer to any future questions:

42.

Nope, that didn't answer my question. Subtle jokes and hints won't work with me.

In responce to my question, I won't read the book, I'll just see the movie.

You'll get the joke once you see the movie

P.S. I just constructed a quote within a quote. Mind blowing!

Also a fan of the office (brit version) so I was stoked when they cast martin freeman as arthur dent.

I saw the movie last night and it was hilarious! My favorite character was Marvin.


You'll need your towel for this trip.

[Dyne]

OK gang. This was one of my favourite movies of all time. I loved it.

Spoiler time!




Ford I was worried about. But Mos Def pulled "weird" off quite well. A lot of focus was taken off him, I think.

Sam Rockwell STOLE the show to make up for the lack of Ford. He was fantastic.

My favourite character is a real tie between Trillian and Zaphod. I loved Zooey Deschanel in Elf, but man, she was even better in this movie. Just perfect. And so hot. The shower scene and the short shorts were fanservices, but oh so hot. I love her.

There better be a sequel. I mean, Zaphod and the others didn't even return the gun to John Malkovich's character. (sidenote: BLESS YOU.)

Eddie was a little disappointing and the Disney ending was pretty cheesy (as well as the Disney intro song, as hilarious as it was.) I also thought the whale moment was too awkward and that was a disappointment.

Marvin was pulled off great, as well as the Vogons. I'm glad Disney got behind this project because that gave them use of Jim Henson's studios.

Anyways, the overall feeling of this movie is uniqueness. There were some parts that were just so consistently funny you'd be laughing the entire way through.




End spoilers.



Highly recommended.

Yeah, I wish I was her... she is funny too.

I really liked the intro song, it was delightfully random. It made so little sense, it was great.

What do you mean by "too awkward"?

Any Harry Potter fans would know what jeepnut seems to think is the reason I loved Marvin so much.

I didn't like the voice acting, and the whole scene felt rushed. When I read the book I imagined it being a lot better. Let me re-enact.

Way too rushed. It could have been done better.

Yeah, my girlfriend was flailing at everything Alan Rickman said. It was hilarious.
