Yep - it's out..... I really enjoyed it too.... Zaphod was great. When I pictured him in my head while reading he was egotistical but really ugly - with the two-head thing going on. I like the way he was in the movie... like a surfer rock star Dubya!

LOL - I kinda got that impression myself, although I can definitely see the bill clinton in him (yick!) I remember seeing the BBC production and not only remember their attempt at SFX, but how incredibly flat his characterization was. The whole thing DRAGGED.

OH, and Alan Rickman was PERFECT as Marvin...I about had a cow in laughing at him. I had to watch it a second time to decide if I liked the girl who played Trillian, and the man who played Ford Prefect reminded me a lot of Danny John-Jules, who played Cat in Red Dwarf.
