<div class="IPBDescription">Just got back...</div> Just got back from an advanced preview (I won tickets BTW)!
Its a great film worth going to see, I havent had time to read the book but i intend to this summer.
Definitly worth going to see it, id say more but id end up spoiling it for someone.

I believe the two halves of that sentence to be linked by cause and affect.
Not that surprising. You try condensing 6 books worth of action (a large part of which doesn't take place in dialogue or in scenes with the main characters) into a 2 hour movie.
And, sadly, I really have to agree with AllUrHive. Though I'm still going to watch the movie.

I was under the impression that this movie only really covers the first book (while making some new crap up as well). Cuz doesn't it end with them heading for Milliways?

I have no idea; I could've sworn I heard it was based on all the films, and that they weren't planning a sequel. If it <i>is</i> based on just the first book, I will be surpremely happy. They still won't fit it all in one movie, but they'll come a lot closer.
Did the film have <a href='http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A138232' target='_blank'>a guide entry on towels</a> ? or how <a href='http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A37766' target='_blank'>The babelfish was used to prove that god didnt exist?</a>
Thanks, I needed a laugh.
Imao!!! What SciFi person hasn't read that book! So you have no idea of the signifigance of 42?! Shame. Tsk Tsk.

Seriously though this is disappointing because I can't ask you if the movie was true to the book.
PS: As a general rule I try not to watch a film based on a book, until I've read the book.
<b>The books are not the definitive version of the HHG!</b>
In fact, the radio show came first. Each incarnation of the HHG (Radio show, books, TV show, game) have been different in some way. This movie is no different.
On that note, is anyone else going to the theatre on Friday with a towel? <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
So?
Actually my mom wants me to go with her to the film when it comes out. *roll eyes* <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I'm actually looking forward to this film, though admittedly the "Revenge of the Sith" is my most anticiapted film comming out soon.
......... That is an awesome idea.
I'll see if I can convince anyone to come in their dressing gown.

So don't put ****ing food on my plate when I didn't ask for seconds.
Jesus. Isn't the point clear enough?
**EDIT**
And yes, all 3 of us going on friday are going with Towels.
I've been planning this for a long time now. I've had the towel that will match my shirts n stuff for a while.
And for ye who have little faith:
<!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Writing credits (WGA)

DA had a part in the writing before his death. It will be good, no doubt.
Oh, who else thinks it should have been released on a Thursday?

I'm witholding judgement until I see it (it could be good!) but they rewrote the script after Adams died.
I can believe that. Now prove to me it wasn't butchered.

Its somewhat butchered, since Adams just wrote and wrote. However, the guy who had to edit swears he did his best to keep that Adams feel to it.
Heh, I'm wearing my robe and towel to class. I'll get some pics up of it. Nothing like going around UHouston looking like a bum.

Adams has written like what? 5 unabridged and "complete" versions?
No one will notice if you dress like a bum at uHouston. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
(Don't take that the wrong way, my dad graduated from uHouston. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> )
