Hey. Last night a good buddy of mine brought by the Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy BBC mini series on DVD last night.
If you haven't seen it productions values weren't the greatest but it was decent.
It's the writing that made it good. :)
Zaphod's second head was godawful.
And Marvin as always was very depressed.
I almost forgot how many times Marvin was called upon to make " The Ultimate sacrifice.
It falls apart at the end when they try to cram a bunch of Resturant At the End of The Universe in.
Quite a while ago ( Before Douglas Adams even died) there were talks of a new Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy movie being made.
I wish I knew what was going on with that.
I know Terry Jones of Monty Python fame was working on the screenplay with Adams.
I can only hope he brought in Terry Gilliam ( Twelve Monkeys, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, Time Bandits ) to direct the film. He does really great bizzare work on a really large scale.
If your interested in seeing a Gilliam movie I recommened Time Bandits if only for David Warner's performance as "Evil".
Disclamer: Don't rent this film if you are totally freaked out by midgets, Python member cameos, and Sean Connery Cameos.
