It opens with a perfectly choreographed dolphin musical number, and ends with the disembodied head of deceased author Douglas Adams. This is the long awaited adaptation of his novel, “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy,” and as the dolphins flawlessly perform their rendition of “So Long and Thanks for All the Fish” you’ll realize you’re in for one hell of a ride. Don’t panic. It only gets a little weirder.

Ditto for me!
ROFL!
Looking forward to seeing this, I've watched the UK series and enjoyed it.
Be sure to meet the dish of the day.
Dude, you can see that anytime you want. Surely you are aware of the television programme that was produced in the early 80s? It's available on VHS and DVD.

I highly recommend the book first--especially if you enjoy British humor.

not the place to find consistency and fairness.
I have read all the books many times over. One of my favorites of all time. If you have not read them, do it.

However, watching Letterman the other night they had one of the actors on. They showed a scene that I do not remember from the book. Too many people in the scene and no sign of Trillian. Marvin needed to be a little bit bigger. And Zaphod Beeblebrox better have two heads as well. Of course that's just IMHO.
I remember the UK series too... :)
Fun watching!
Zooey Deschanel!!!!!!
heart heart heart heart heart Trillian
On another note, what do you get if you multiply six times nine?
The author himself merely channeled both the ultimate answer and the ultimate question, without understanding the significance of either.
He claimed to be unaware that the ultimate question: "What do you get when you multiply six by nine," does equal 42 in base 13.
Proof that God has thirteen fingers.
He does, but unlike the BBC production, his second head is under the chin of his original head. He flips his head back like opening a cigarette lighter, and up pops the second.
Who cares?
He does have a second head, but it is often hidden.
