No, no, the problem with this movie is that they tried /not/ to put much of the book in the movie. The number of half-jokes in the movie almost exceeds the number of /lines/. Why in the name of all that is holy did they feel the need to repeatedly fail to include the brilliant punchlines to Adams' jokes? </rant> Sorry. This movie was probably the greatest waste of a dollar in my life. It still bothers me if I think about it too long. -- Matthew Walker Kydance Hosting & Consulting LAMP & MU* Specialist /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
