Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
So who on the hype is a fan of Douglas Adam's work? Who likes the radio show, the movie, the tv show, the books and the CPU games? Do you have the original series on DVD? Did you go to the movie by yourself to see the film? Do you know all the wordds to "So Long and Thanks For all the Fish"?
And how far have you gotten on the computer game? Do you think the mystery of the 52 fails in comparison to the mystery of 42? Discuss!

Re: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
After I read the entire trilogy (all 5 parts!), I was instantly hooked. I ordered the original BBC miniseries on DVD and I've watched it about a hundred times. I was slightly let down by the Hollywood version that came out a couple years ago, but whaddayagonnado, it's Hollywood. Martin Freeman makes a pretty good Arthur Dent, anyways.
I've not heard the radio show and I'm not particularly interested in it. Nothing will ever top the original BBC miniseries  "In the beginning, the universe was created. This has made a lot of people upset and has been widely regarded as a bad move."

Re: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Loved the books enough to pick up everything else D.A. ever wrote (including his non-fiction). Enjoyed the Dirk Gently series too.
I've watched the movie and didn't think it was too bad (not #1 on my list of favourites though), but have never heard/read the radio play and have only seen fragments of the T.V. series. |

Re: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
I loved books 1-3. Enjoyed Book 4. Book 5 never happened.
I recently got the Leather Back, Gold Sided Pages, awesome version of all 5 books (plus the Zaphod Short Story  )I am trying to get a hold of the Radio Series. I enjoyed the movie, though they completely missed the character of Zaphod (Paul Bettany would of been a much better choice.) The TV show was awesome considering its budget limitations

Re: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
I love the books, and I read them until they fell apart. So I bought the harback collection, and will be one of the books I read annually.
I have the radio series on my harddrive. I watched the TV series in college but haven't been able to find a copy on DVD. I have no intention of ever seeing the movie, or playing the computer game. |
