I agree about marvin. He's my favorite character. Not only did he not look like what I hoped he would (even though I already knew what he'd look like.) I thought his character wasn't very funny in the movie. But in the books he's hilarious.
I agree, for anyone who's never read the books, it's certainly confusing.
I LOVED the Hitchiker's Guide entries. SO WELL DONE, and FUNNY!
I totally forgot that the bowl of petunias thought "oh, no, not again". I love the way Adams brings this back later! SO FUNNY! That whole sperm whale part was done so perfectly. I had forgotten where they had come from...
The special effects were wonderful. But there's just somethings that Adams wrote that just can't be shown. I love the way he plays with language.
it's true, something definitely gets lost in the translation from book to movie, but i'm glad that they did keep in some of the funny little details.
yeah, the Guid animations were great. I loved when they turned into thread. hahaha. so ridiculous.
oh man! The infinite improbability drive's Abnormality factor is hilarious!
I wish they could put on film what Adams describes when Ford and Arthur are first saved! Penguins and pudding is part of what I remember. I was laughing so hard at this point in the book, I was crying!
hahaha yeah that was a really great part
