Let’s not forget that the original radio series, the radio series released for purchase, the books, the TV show and the video game all relayed varying versions of the same story. If you have “The More Than Complete Hitchhikers Guide” collection of the books, Douglas Adams addressed this in the introduction. So if the movie loosely follows the books, I’m not going to be surprised, because everything else apparetly has loosely followed each other anyway. Unfortunately, this had to come after Douglas Adams died, so we’re not sure if this was a perversion of the tale that couldn’t be told until he was gone.
Me too! I have all the books, the computer game, the uk series and the thought that they have crapped it up is very annoying.
So am I! I have had the book and the tapes of the radio series and the old video for years…. boo hoo 🙁
