Default Re: OT: Movies You Have Seen Lately

I rented Hitchhikers Guide to the the Universe and I have to honestly say this: I am very relieved that I never read the book. After seeing the movie, nearly two hours of my life that I will never get back, I am estatic that I never wasted my time to read such a tripely written, contrived, poorly humored, peace of [censored] lititure. If I am alone in my opinion, then so be it. I can live the knowledge that I have been spared the honor of having read such a widely loved book.

I found the movie to be utterly STUPID and demanded my money back from Block Buster and was granted instore credit. I have never before been so utterly put off by a movie that I returned it the same day, within hours of renting it, demanding my money back. I would sit through a 100 xXx State of the Unions rather than watch another second of that movie. I say burn the negatives, the DVD's and the VHS. Hell BURN THE BOOK!
Yeah, the movie wasn't very good. I didn't think it was as bad as you said it was, but maybe that's just because I got more of the 'in' jokes from reading the books.

If you don't like British humour (eg Monty Python), you won't like the books. I think part of the reason the movie wasn't good was because it tried to move British-style jokes into a more American context of slapstick. British humour is not slapstick. So, there wasn't much wit, and the rest of it was subpar anyway, so... bad movie.
