Douglas Adams probably wouldn`t have liked this film. But he surely would have brought a towel to the cinema. Or he wouldn`t have. Maybe he`d feel depressed just like Marvin did. Anyhow the long time of waiting had finally come to its logical end and I watched the film that was talked about for decades. Not that it really lives up to the hype. Not that anybody expected it to live up to the hype. The story is a bit fucked-up in comparison to what you`d want it to be. At least I pretty much doubt that you`d be particulary interested in a love story between Arthur Dent and Trillian. We all know whom Arthur must date, and who`s Trillian`s lover (at least in the first books). "Those are Whitey`s cookies, Bud.
They belong to him." (from Pleasantville). And Arthur Dent ain`t ho cool guy, he`s a loser, and a loser he must stay. The thing with the gun and the vogons was cool though. I don`t know what I`d think of the film were I not a fan of the book. But in the case as it is, I can`t say that the film was a total disappointment - some parts of it do rock, but overall it ain`t 42.
