Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy

So, we saw it tonight. Preview tickets (thanks Paige!) and somebody willing to wait in line early to make sure we got in and got good seats (thanks Jim!).

It was really good.

Lots missing, of course. But the key notes were there, including a few in-jokes. And, like every other version of HGTTG, it had stuff that was different from the other versions and stuff that was new. It was campy enough to capture the flavor of the books/radio series/etc, and it was slick enough to appeal to a general audience.

Definitely worth seeing. And don't leave early, as there is a bit during the credits.

Being an Aquaman fan, I particularly liked the way the movie started. Hey, when it starts underwater, it appeals to me. And the song was good, too. Still humming it...
