Hitchhiker's Guide/Douglas Adams *spoilers! maybe!*

<< < (2/8) > >>

5thWheel:
I wondered if the ending in the 5th book was because DA was sick of being asked to write HHGttG sequels? So he was writing an ending that would be all "ha! see if you can figure out how I could write a sequel to *that*!"?  But I don't know and I can't be bothered to google right now..
I didn't really like the 5th book that much, but I thought the ending was good (or at least the reason for the demolition was ace, IMO:).  I didn't see the movie as I'd been warned off it.
Also, I prefered the Dirk Gently books to HHGttG.

Who by?

Because seriously, you need to see that film. Just don't go to it in an "OMG I AM A PURIST AND ANY MINOR CHANGES WILL MAKE ME VERY ANGRY" frame of mind, because you just won't enjoy it at all. Take my advice and see it, but keep an open mind and try to enjoy it for what it is, rather than comparing it to the books, TV series or radio series.

I hope you're being ironic... he didn't finish Salmon because he died...

I never liked Young Zaphod or the movie. It could have been an amazing, high budget mini series instead of one shit movie. And it should've been made by the British. Americans don't get  funny. I don't care if Adams himself wrote some of the screen play, it was still an awful movie. Sure, it was the only way they could have done it as a movie but they just shouldn't have done it.

Switchblade:
He was writing it for years though. The reason he died before finishing it was because he was constantly revising, editing and ripping it apart and starting from scratch.

And I'm fairly certain the movie was made by the british.

Also, I reaally enjoyed it...

Rizzo:
Lieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees....
Nah, I'm pretty sure it was USA... I have nothing to back this up though.
It just wasn't H2G2 to me. It was some terrible romantic comedy feat. Authur Dent.
