every once in a while you get the chance to do something great like that, and when the opportunity arises, you just have to take it.
That said, I saw the movie friday night. I enjoyed it. I forgot just how subtle and zany Adams was with his humor, at the same time. The visuals in this motion picture were amazing, especially during the sequence with slartibartfast at the "planet factory."
I wouldn't say Rockwell was trying to do GW in his Beeblebrox role. I was thinking more along the lines of a used car salesman/agent mixed with the smarm of Bill Clinton.
Some ignoramus brought and his brother brought their two boys into the movie with them. They were there in their pajamas and cowboy boots. One of them had a mohawk haircut. Apparently that is all the rage in KY elementary schools these days. They were neither one older than 5 years of age, and didnt understand a thing about the movie. One of them actually asked, as the movie started "Is this a true story, did all this really happen, dad?"
You shouldn't bring kids who can't read yet to a movie based around a book. (The Polar Express being the one exception to that rule that I've found).
I thought the movie was rather like Vogon poetry.
I liked it...
