Re: HGTTG
Went with my towel and friends. Both those who'd read the books and those who hadn't enjoyed it. Those expecting a remake of the books will be dissapointed, the movie wasn't intended to be a remake, and roughly half the story line is not from the book. I love this series (and enjoyed the movie) for their sheer randomness, with the plot having no actual plot line, other than to see what random situation Arthur Dent can be thrown into next. The movie kept nicely to Douglas' humor style.
My only complaint? The love story. Douglas Adams was never one for happy endings where things work out perfectly good. I was hoping for an ending where it would look like it was going to be one of those typical "everybody lived happily ever after" endings, only to have something more bizzare and inexplicable show up and just make a general mess of things.
