Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Re: RE: Hitchiker

Bad news, bears.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy movie is bad. Really bad. You just won't believe how vastly, staggeringly, jaw-droppingly bad it is. I mean, you might think that The Phantom Menace was a hopelessly misguided attempt to reinvent a much-loved franchise by people who, though well-intentioned, completely failed to understand what made the original popular - but that's just peanuts to the Hitchhiker's movie.

There is such a thing as a fake review.

There is such a thing as a rocketship.

There is such a thing as a "Jewpin, I don't understand. What are you implying?"

Re: RE: Re: RE: Hitchiker

im taking a towel with me to the movie

That, my friend, is an EXCELLENT IDEA.


I want to see this. Badly. Bad reviews shall not faze me until I have seen the real thing for myself.

Sure!

The movie obviously couldn't touch on all parts of the book, due to time constraints, but it got the story across, and was funny in some parts.

I'd have to say my only complaint is the fact that the ending came up super fast. Like... some movies you can tell it's gonna end in like, 10 minutes, but at the end of this one, they're just like "I'm hungry, lets go to the resturant at the end of the universe"

Still go see it.

HA! Looks like I called the bluff.

MalReynolds came out of retirement to say:

Uh, this was one of the best movies I've seen this year. I walked with a towel, and walked out really glad I had it. The most useful tool in the Universe. I walked out of the theatre about thirty minutes ago, and in an hour, I'm walking back in to see it again.

Right, I really don't care what the reviews say. Does any of you guys know Foamy the squirrel? He has the same opinion of movie critics as I do.

Also, I'm seeing it no matter what. And of course, don't forget your towel.

[jewpinthethird]

Yeah, I'm bringing a towel.

Not.

[lightdarkness]

I wore my 42 shirt

Yea, i'm that cool

[MalReynolds]

On the second viewing, with a group of my friends (all toweled), we swung our towels around at important towel moments. And if anyone saw the trailer for "Serenity" they might recognize the face of my avatar.

Towels, man.

This movie won. It just won. I wasn't expecting anything really good, but it blew away my expectations. This will be the only movie this year I buy on DVD. The only thing I was a little put off by the lack of was the segment explaining how useful a towel is. Even missing that, I think this is about the best I could have hoped for. I was slightly put off by the arthur/trillian-ness, but that was pretty much the only "creative liberty" hollywood took that I disliked.

Ford held back the vogons with a towel. Damn that rocks

"Ahh, he has a towel, RUN AWAY!!!"

***2 min later***

"Ahh, he locked the gate, go around!"

This movie was pretty good.

But I think what made it even better was the fact that I almost threw up from how bad the previews for the other movies were..

I mean.. Shark Boy and Lava Girl? WHAT THE HELL?
