Hitchhiker's movie

Also: I was not overly pleased with the H2G2 movie. Sure, it was fun, and I don't regret the time or money spent on it. But I am disappointed that it was turned into a romantic comedy.

You can't fault the story for being different, every version of the story was different, radio plays to TV show to books to game. But yeah, the Arthur/Trillian thing just didn't make any sense at all. IF they really had to inflict a romace on us, they could have brought Lintilla into it. I just hated how 2/3 of the jokes were wiped out, and replaced with, if anything, slapstick that just didn't really fit. Overall, eh.

Oh yeah, I don't mind differences. I grew up with all of the stories (although mainly the books and the radio series) and I knew that the story had been changed by Adams for the big screen. But I still dislike the romance plot, or at least the import that was placed on it.

I concur. Everything these days has to be a romantic comedy. If they remade The Ten Commandments (I'm sure it's in the wings), God would have to seduce Moses with flowers and lively repartee before he'd agree to take the bloody tablets.

I'd pay to see that...
