Has anyone else out there read these books!?!? I love them. I'm pretty excited for the new movie to come out. I haven't ever come across the old version. OFFICIAL MOVIE WEBSITE

I caught half an episode of one of the series the other night (on PBS), but looked on TiVo and they're only showing one a week, I was hoping to see the whole season again. Have a look in your area Eeyore, you never know, they might be showing it, there are six 35 minute shows. I read the books many many years ago. The weirdest thing is going to be seeing Marvin as that little robot, not the tall one.

I read the books and watched the shows on PBS but it has been ages ago. Will be interesting to see how it comes out in the movie format.

When I went to see Sahara I saw the trailer. It looks like it is going to be great! I told my bf, who hasn't read the books, that I couldn't wait to see it and he looked at me and said,"Uhmmm, okay, I really am marrying a geek, aren't I?"

I really liked the series, too, although they've never given me a satisfactory answer to the meaning of life!

42 is the answer. There's some dispute as to what the question was.

And a Hooloovoo is a highly intelligent shade of the color blue. *sigh* I loved the book. I cannot wait.

I only read the first book (since I hear there's more than just the one) but anyway, I saw the preview for it and got so excited LOL I can't remember who I was with when I saw it, but I can remember them giving me the "What *are* you going on about?" look

The movie was interesting enough to inspire me to go and buy The Ultimate HHGTTG. Marvin (Alan Rickman)is my favorite character

I thought the movie was a bit messy. A few good bits here and there, particularly if you knew the book or series. It was very disjointed. I was however half falling asleep (too many early mornings recently) so my concentration wasn't up to much. Lots of good characters of course, just it didn't have a continuous story like most movies. (Or if it did, I missed it.)

I saw it Saturday night. I loved it, but I've always been into the "British" sense of humor. My date called it "Monty Python with a bigger budget".

Well I went today to see this one with DD and my 6 year old nephew. They of course have not read the books and both of them just loved this film. I was a bit disappointed, but I am disappointed with any movie I have already read the book of.....
