I can't tell from the clip if it will be any good or not. I'm hopeful.

I read all his books in college & loved every one of them (except the detective agency one). I have been hoping someone would out a babelfish in my ear ever since.....

I thought it was already done by the Monty Python folks.

Now that I saw the trailer I can tell you that:

1. The filmmakers never read THG; or
2. The filmmakers never loved THG.

Arthur Dent is all wrong (too young), Marvin is all wrong (too cgi and too streamlined), Zaphod is all wrong (too few heads), Trillian is all wrong (too interested in Arthur).

This is all wrong. I won't be seeing it.

This is the real deal. It is just like the book.

Click Here. (Will open in new window.)

Buy it while you still can. This hollywood crapola will probably wipe the original out.

No, I don't work for Amazon.com or have any financial interest in it.

I had the Infocom graphicless IF game version of Hitchhiker's Guide when I was a kid. Anyone remember those?

Who's in the cast? Who's playing Ford Prefect?

The wordl is ending today

What? Arsenal without a chance then?

Been a while since I read the series but it was very witty.

It appears to be worth it. Lots of interesting action anyway in the trailer. It didn't show much of Marvin. I wonder if he's going to live up to the book? I always thought that Marvin was the funniest character in the book.

...more popular than the Celestial Home Care Omnibus, better selling than Fifty-three More Things to Do in Zero Gravity, and more controversial than Oolon Colluphid's trilogy of philosophical blockbusters, Where God Went Wrong, Some More of God's Greatest Mistakes and Who is This God Person Anyway?

I'd see it, but I'm spending a year dead for tax reasons.
