Hey, Gare -- much agreed about the Adams books -- and the PBS version, I saw it waaay back then but preferred reading the books. "Bring a towel!"

Let us know what you think about this new film. I thought it fun for the most part, following the flavor of the story, and Zaphod had about the right personality and attributes...although at a few places, with all of them speeding about the cosmos, I thought I might get brain damage trying to keep pace with everything going at once...quite the cgfx too!
