h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Ah, well they just make me laugh so much that my critical judgemnet might be impaired...

Hvae you seen many films?

It may be so...

I've seen far too many than I care to remember, yet I haven't seen enough of the 'classics'

If it's a classic you're after then 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest' is your man. [You see how reading Rankin has affected the way I talk? After reading A Clockwork Orange' I was talkling in nadsat too! Which brings up another classic film!].

I just love film, and certain directors seem to always do it for me.

I read the book first, tehn saw the film. It's one of the rare times I think the film has ever lived up to the book. Normally I'm dead against them being turned into screenplays.

Which film? I still haven't got my self a copy of the Cuckoo's Nest the novel...

I don't mind books being turned into films, I see them as completely different art forms, so I don't bother with bewailing the fact that they film isn't a perfect representation of the book.

Are you looking forward to the Hitchhiker's movie? DNA did most of the work on the screenplay.

I'm not being very coherent tonight, am I, lol, OFOtCN, Clockwork Orange I am yet to even read!

I get too caught up in the fact that they left this out, or put that in and end up grumbling througout the film.

It should be good, and I can see hootoo meets taking place watching it What do you think about it?

I'm looking forward to it, I may suggest the idea of a hootoo meet to coincide with the film's release to 2legs, he is the man to make that happen! If we can find a cinny with a well stocked bar

I'm encouraged by what the screen writer who took over from DNA has to say on the film's very own blog: http://hitchhikers.movies.go.com/hitchblog/blog.htm

You like/are interested in language [right?] Clockwork Orange makes delicious use of language and you *will* be using nadsat when you finish it! I'm sure.

Ha ha, good luck in that one!

*clicks to go read*

I'm very interested in language, I'll have to have a dig around and see if we own a copy!

I do intend to suggest it to 2legs a mite later...

Did you read his interview with himself? I found it reassuring.

Tis both a favourite film and novela of mine.

Suggested it to 2legs in a post to his space, just awaiting his return from Bristol...
