Seeing Saturn through a telescope is truly amazing, and for me was life changing. Its such an amazing sight to behold.

>I only count the two original novels.

Don't forget Robyn is one of the reasons that this particular contrivance happened.

Don't forget being used to pad out the back end of this season unnecessarily with absolutely ridiculous contrivances and just absolutely terrible characterization. Ugg just thinking about her actions and that character drops a full letter grade from my overall enjoyment of that show.

Really? All the novels? Because those last two are really bad and the movie is quite a bit better than them. And the only thing the TV show is better than the movie IMO is the fact that it has the breadth to do more things, and that it doesn't restore the earth. Otherwise I would put the movie right alongside the TV

Thank christ someone else mentioned Robyn and her brother in Jessica Jones. My Fiance and I both hated every moment they were on screen. The first episode they were in was somewhat fine as a one off comedic moment, but their continued involvement in the show was baffling. Where they comedic relief, a thoughtful part

>Look, I get that you're a passionate apologist for the Hitchhiker's movie, but to posit that it represents Adams's vision unfiltered is not very reasonable.

>The originals are the blinding light

Couldn't disagree more. I loved Sam Rockwell as Zaphod and is closer to how I imagined him from the books than the TV Show version which I liked but didn't quite do it for me.

How is this a correction this is exactly what I said:
>they made the movie based on Adam's script

Yeah this is a completely subjective opinion considering that Adams willfully changed things around so that there is no canonical version. Many people consider the Cosmic Cutie to be a mascot of the series even though Douglas Adams hated it. I love the TV version and its DIY aesthetic really fits the story its

Yeah, totally. That's why he references the TV version throughout the entire movie. Yep you totally nailed it.

>Garth Jennings’ 2005 adaptation of Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy suffered many flaws—most of them stemming from a seemingly perverse desire to erase any lingering vision of the BBC’s beloved, gloriously clunky TV version from 198

That is because its a movie and its based on Adam's script which the directors made greate pains to change very little of. This isn't a remake anymore than the 20th version of Hamlet is a remake of the one before it. This was simply the film version of that story written from the ground up as a film first and foremost

Why does everyone here keep calling it a remake. It wasn't a remake in any sense of the word. This was based on Adam's script for the movie. Every incarnation of The Hitchhiker's Guide was designed to play to its mediums strengths and this according to Adams himself. The book isn't like the radio show, the TV series

I only have one track to add from Outside "We Prick You". It's dark, catchy, and has so many different things going on for it. The song starts off from with a drum and bass loop that sounds like on of Bjork's tracks. Bowie's voice is beautifully on display during the song.

Outside and Earthling were the first albums I bought by Bowie. I knew him from growing up with Labyrinth but my parents had terrible taste in music so I just didn't get exposed to his earlier stuff till later. I love both of these 90's albums and I think they still hold up they just require a lot more of the listener

I don't know I don't think he was playing it for laughs, and those people who were laughing disturbed me. I thought he was highlighting the absolute hypocrisy of them saying Hanging is too terrible for a woman, but in almost literally the same minute will smash her in the face or beat her. I think he was exposing how

I was with Hateful Eight until right after the intermission. The narration of Tarantino when the film resumes is some of the most awful unneeded narration I've ever seen in a film.
