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

I went to see it this morning.

James was invited to the cast and crew screening, plus one, so I went with him.

We drove up to London with Sean and parked near Leicester Square, where there was already a fairly large crowd outside the Empire. We found Robbie and talked to him for a few minutes, then went into Cafe Nero next door where I was introduced to Douglas' brother James; the others had met him before, during the filming.

We were among the first people in the cinema, so we got fairly good seats, and the eight of us - me, James, Sean, Tim, Yoz and his fiancee and Rick (ex TDV) and Alison - were all able to sit together with no trouble.

I loved the film. It was quite intense and I took a while to digest it afterwards, but I found it very funny all the way through. I would have liked to see a bit more of Ford and Slartibartfast, but only because I liked them, not because the film was unbalanced or anything. Some moments were brilliant, but I'm not going to talk about them because they need to be seen cold (for the first time). I'm definitely going to see it again, even if James feels that the first four times were enough for him...

Sorry, I've been corrected.

Rick = Rik

Cafe Nero = Starbucks (maybe I should look at the sign next time)

I keep reading things like this and I've even seen adverts on tv, but I honestly can't believe that it is soon to open!

i have been waiting for this to come out for ages, cant wait till it finally does
