The Guide

Just saw the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy movie. I went with a friend, towel in hand, at 4:20.

It’s a good movie. But those who haven’t read the books or at least listened to the radio show (which I still think is the funniest incarnation, yet) may be lost. There were quite a number of scenes where the two of us where the only ones laughing, because only we “got” the insider jokes.

As far as I am concerned seeing a sperm whale get philosophical while falling out of a planet’s orbit is worth full admission any time.

The saddest thing about the movie is that Douglas never got a chance to see it. Sniff. If you’ll excuse me now, I have some tea to make.
