The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy

--- Quote from: Nodaisho on 13 Apr 2008, 20:01 ---I heard that he had gotten really depressed while he was writing it, so he put in an everyone dies ending. Course, he could have been writing a sequel when he died, I remember hearing that it was either going to be the third Dirk Gently book or the sixth hitch hiker's guide book.
--- End quote ---
It was the third Dirk Gently book, The Salmon of Doubt that he was writing when he died. The first three chapters of it have been published along with a whole bunch of his essays and general scribblings in what is more or less a biography also called The Salmon of Doubt. It's worth reading actually, very funny stuff.
Statik:
To all the people who hated the movie, you guys do know that Mr. Adams wrote it? And that he has said in numerous places that he never intended each "piece" of the guide series to neccessarily have the others in mind?
The radio play is different from the books is different from the movie is different from the TV show is different from the LPs.
They are all meant to be different takes on the same general idea.
I, for one, thought the movie was excellent, no, it wasnt the book(s), but, based on what Ive read, it was never intended to be.
Also, Mos Def was fantastic as Ford.
Dimmukane:
I liked the movie a lot too. It doesn't hold a candle to the books, but it's really hard to translate the mental processes of a character to a screen. It was still pretty funny, and I don't think they could've cast it much better than it was. Mos Def was indeed awesome. I want to see Be Kind Rewind because of how he was in this.
Surgoshan:
I thought it was a good movie. Just not good enough to buy.
Jimmy the Squid:
I didn't really like Mos Def as Ford actually. Or rather I didn't like how he played him. Mainly because I always saw Ford as being a little bit smarter than how Mos Def made him out to be. So far the most enjoyable Ford (i.e. the one who I think really nailed it) was the guy who was on the BBC tv series.
