Cathie and I went to see The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on Saturday night. These books were the staple of computer geeks 20 years ago (wow that makes me sound old) when I was in high school. I'm a huge fan of all of the late Douglas Adam's books. They're style is a cross between an intelligent man's Monty Python and Space Balls. I remember playing the text based adventure game of HHGTTG of my TRS-80 Color Computer a long time ago. Anyways, I've been looking forward to the movie and I wasn't disappointed. I thought it was a great representation of the story and the characters. The big themes came through from the book, but I'm not sure how it would come across for people who hadn't read them. Screw 'em. I liked it.
