I LOVE the Hitchhiker's books. The movie looks pretty funny in the previews. Hopefully they didn't screw it up too bad :)

I agree, the hitchhiker books are some of the best I've ever read; and I've read a lot of books! I'm also worried though that they may screw the movie up really badly and put a bad impression on the books.

its almost as bad when people write movies into books...either way, it usually sucks...going from book to movie, you lose all the private thoughts, and a lot of the emotion...going from movie to book, again, missing that stuff, buts this time its because it wasn't there in the first place! Any time I've seen a movie turned book, it's like giving a play by play of the action and set movements a visual stuff...
