The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
It was good. It was written by Douglas Adams. He also wrote screenplays for the next 2 books to be made into movies.
And despite it making a couple million more than it cost, the first one was considered a flop. :(
Thay movie was awful. As a huge fan of the series, I don't know how anyone can watch it and understand the plot without being familiar with it beforehand.
The BBC series is much better, and goes up to Book 3 iirc.
I disagree. I loved the film. I remember it fondly.
Do you like the books? I find that people who like or have read the books tend not to like the movie and vice versa. I do not like the books.
I personally enjoyed the movie, the books, and the BBC series.
Yeah the way I see it is that even Douglas himself didn't quite have a single vision in his mind about the story, which is why there are so many iterations (radio, book, movie, tv series, musical? Am I forgetting anything?)
There was a text adventure game as well.
And a towel.
Agreed. Second-worst date movie ever. She was shellshocked and missed all the humour cues.
Agreed, I fell asleep. In a movie theater.
It was ok. Didn't understand the side story with John Malkovich at all, pointless. And Zoey Deschanel was terrible as Trillen, like criminally awful at the role to the point she ruined it for me. Sam Rockwell was perfect casting though, same with mos Def and Martin Freeman
Sam Rockwell is cast perfectly in just about everything. Phenomenal actor. Kinda surprised we don’t see him more.
No one else could have asked kids if they want regulars or menthols in the 1990 TMNT movie.
Ok, maybe not that one.
Yeah I was just joking with that. It just blows my mind that he was played by Sam Rockwell.
I'm surprised it's never been made into a decent TV show. The entire thing has already been made into half-hour radio shows, so the scripts are there and road tested. It's basically halfway done already.
I weirdly enjoyed the 1981 BBC series:
