No, and I don't think I'm going to.

Perhaps I'm prejudging it, but it just seems like another Hollywood desecration of a classic cinematic/literary work.

The torturous redefinition of Zaphod, the fact that Mos Def was cast in the lead role, and to put the icing on the cake, a horribly cuddly, antiseptic version of my favorite paranoid android, Marvin.

:(

All they need to do is stage a big budget remake of Citizen Kane, and maybe turn Ralph Ellison's seminal psychological novel into a schmaltzy, incoherent film directed by Spike Lee in order to put the final nail in the coffin of this country's film industry.
