Movie Time

We finally saw Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy today (we'll wait to see Sith on Monday morning when everyone in the world is at work), and I can safely say that I was thuroughly amused! A lot of the more amusing stuff from the original series and the book were missing, but it was the *little things* that made it great. "Deep Thought" being a Macintosh. The original Marvin being in line on the Vogon home planet. The "Painted Hills" actually getting painted. Little things :)

We saw it last week, and I really enjoyed it. Probably because I haven't read the book in like 5 years, I wasn't too bothered by the things that were left out.

Only reason I noticed the missing stuff is because a co-werker is an extremely avid Douglas Adams fan, so yeah. For the average person, probably no worries :)

I saw it two weeks ago. It was a fun movie. Im not a purist about the book, so I assume thats why I enjoyed it. I really think people should realize that book adapatations are usually going to be very different from the book itself. Its just too hard to pack in all the details in 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Deep Thought was a Mac? I didn't get that. Did you see Magnatha's 'security system' was the original Arthur as well?

And I LOVED Alan Rickman as Marvin!

Yeah, Deep Thought has the Apple symbol above and to the right of it's "eye". A friend of mine pointed it out to me, and it just makes a lot of sense :)
