The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy
I heard of this book before, but I thought it was about psychology and BS, but if you see the trailer, you should like it:

The CGI will be done by the same guys who animated for Harry Potter and King Arthur, 'Cinesite'.
It looks cool

New 'Hitchhiker' Trailer and movie release now April 29th
Finally our fist real glimps of the 'Hitchhiker' movie, including footage of aliens (lots of the Vogons), spaceships (sadly, though, the Heart of Gold is NOT shaped like a tennis shoe ), and alien worlds. Apparently, Cinesite(Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban) is doing all the special effects, so at least we can expect some pretty decent visuals).
DON'T PANIC!!!
You can watch the new trailer at the official website's movie news page
Also, yahoo movies reports that Disney has just bumped the release to April 29th, 2005 insted of May 6th as originally planned.
Hopefully they'll do justice to the genius works of Douglas Adams

The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Yeah, so who went to see it? Anyone planning on seeing it?
I saw it last night. I thought it was friggen AWESOME. Mos Def does a PERFECT ford, even though ford wasn't black in the books. But really... There's a lot of things in the books that aren't in this movie and a lot of things in the movie that weren't in the book! Which probably wouldn't work in any other movie, but Hitchiker's... It just doesn't matter.
There are a lot of things that will be infinitly funnier to you if you read the books first.
And Marvin ees so cyoooot ^____^
We were in a theater where we were sure there weren't very many there that read the book. Me and my group of friends laughed at just about EVERYTHING, and many of the jokes made the audiance go "What are they laughing about?". And at the beginning of the movie... well, let's just say there's a musical number at the beginning that is just great.
While on this movie, I feel I should mention two previews. First off, there's some new movie coming about (forget what it's called), that's basically just Jumanji in space. Now, as we're watching this, everyone in the theater was basically like "What? This is just jumanji! in space!" and then at the end of the trailer it goes "From the creatore of Jumanji" and literally the ENTIRE theater went "OOOOOOOH!"

Yeah, he's saying that there's a new ChickLit trail that's like the Hitchhiker's one.
I, for one, who never read the books but devoured the TV show and some radio broadcasts, LOVED HG2G.
The tone, pacing and everything were spot on - different than before - but spot on, with the new changes totally in keeping and just keeping it fresh for those that already knew.
For those who didn't know the series before (and my lady, Jenny, is one of them), there's nothing to fear - HG2G works as simply a great sc-fi spoof, and Jen loved the whole Python/Gilliam-esque take on the material.
Everything was self-explained and contained, so there were no in-jokes that would grate anyone coming fresh, while there were enough in there to please long-time fans.
I really, really, really, really enjoyed it and after Team America (which came out here in February), it's the second best film of the year so far for me (Valiant being a good third).
And...yeah: Zathura looks like cack.
