I'm a big fan of the book... IMO, the movie completely sucked, I actually fell asleep at the theater.  If you get a chance, check out the book, much better. 

I have heard of a british version of Hitchhikers.  They say that one is much better (I think it was set up as a mini series, or it could have been different episodes.)

No.  And it does make your thighs look fat.

You haven't read the books? Holy cow, that's like saying you haven't seen Star Wars. Seriously, do yourself a favor, and read them.


Wow.

They were the first novel length books I read in English.  Looking back it's a wonder I didn't give up on the language entirely.   :laugh2:

I was disappointed with the movie as well.

Of course, before it was a book it was a radio play, with great voice acting. The book is amazing as well of course.

I have a copy of the BBC television adaptation on VHS. It's low budget and corny, but in a very warm and appealing way (the guy who plays Zaphod is awesome, even though he has a awful mannequin head stuck on one of his shoulders!). Unfortunately, it ends with Arthur and Ford trapped on ancient Earth (with the marketing consultants and phone sanitizers). I think that takes place in the third book, can't really remember for sure, but in any case it doesn't make it through the end of the fourth book. I haven't read the fifth book that came out later.
