Has anyone here read the Hitchhiker's guide tothe galaxy and the trilogy... I love the books and Im glad theyre finally making a decnt movie of it... Disney, well an offspring company of Disney, so it has the money...

I have actually never had a chance to read those books, though a lot of my friends have, and say they are really good...I had no clue that there was a movie(s) being made, though!

i'd heard they were making a movie about the Hitch Hiker's Guide. i dunno how well it will transfer to the screen, but if any of Douglas Adams' wit gets through, it should be hilarious. ;)

& just so you know, there are 4 books in the trilogy. "Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy," "Restaurant at the End of the Universe," Life, the Universe and Everything" and "So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish." ;)

Well Most people count The Salmon of Doubt as a Book in the trilogy, I know its just collected works off his hardrive...

And the iste for the movie is http://hitchhikers.movies.go.com/hitchblog/blog.htm

i did not know that! :o you learn something new every day. i was just going from what i read in the little bio in the back of "The Long, Dark Tea-Time of the Soul" that stated there are 4 books. i guess if it counts. altho, it could be a little iffy. ;)

42... somebody had to say it. I think I read the first book several years ago, and I've seen the movie.

Yeah... I am always suprised how well Adams wrote the books...

they're so random, yet cohesive. you don't know even a hint of what's coming next. it's so great. i've yet to find an author with a humor so great on paper. it's hardest to write funny, but Adams makes it seem like breathing.
