what makes a movie
Love, life, and death, beliefs. Without these, there would be no entertainment. No pain, no pleasure, only boredom. Next to nothing to blieve in. Welcome to my world.

Fine. It sucked. If you've listened to the radio series, read the books, or watched the miniseries you probably won't like the movie at all. There has been some commmentary about how the previous three incarnations are all different, but the differences are rather small in comparison to the differences between them and the movie.
If are familiar with it, you'll be really disappointed that the words harmless and mostly harmless are not said at all during the movie.
A cameo is made for those of you familiar with the miniseries by a certain plastic pal who's fun to be with (if he wasn't so depressed).
Some people mentioned the lesser things like the position of the president of the galaxy's heads and the color of a woman's hair and her age, the race of the man named after a car, the lack of mostly British accents, etc. But those things are miniscule differences compared to the blotched plot. I won't say anymore about that because it would be a spoiler to do so.
My guess is Douglas Adams couldn't sell it as he had originally written the script because it only would appeal to cultists, err a specific niche audience who have read the books etc.

I feel like my persistence would be useless here. I don't write anywhere near enough, in any case. I'm waiting for inspiration that never comes. I have barely anything in life to hold onto. What is keeping me sane?
My serenity provides no meaning. This might if I could prove it to myself.
Silly mortals. Yes, you are destroying yourselves, but you are too short-lived to notice how.
What have we to say that has not already been said 100 times? Can you not filter the information to see only what is pertinent and what is true?
Brainwash the evil. So, who's evil? (I have a list, but it isn't to be taken seriously.)
Bet you won't comment. A bet for "One Dollar." - name the movie shot partly in the city I'm living in.
I guess I'm not doing this right. I suppose I should be going to some other people's blogs through this site to get more visitors. Cries in the dark. No one's listening.
