Welcome to Gaia! ::

i couldnt find the easer eggs without clicking the improbilty drive button.

if I may.
every single time it changed mediums, it changed something about it. dialouge, plot even, whatever. point is, sometimes it changed a little bit, sometimes it changed a lot. this new movie fits perfectly with that trend, not to mention the screenplay was actually written by douglas adams himself.
the entire history of hitchhikers guide has been one of contradictions. it tends to regrow in different ways and contradict a lot of itself in doing so. the film was fine, maybe it wasn't up to the seventies standards, but the point is, there really isn't anything wrong with it. I for one hope there is more where that came from.

The mini-series was so close to the book you could practically read along with it. And the actors/characters seemed like they jumped right out the pages of the books.
The main thing wrong with the movie(to me) was the actors. For example, Ford Prefect. He picked the totally wrong name and clothes to blend in, so it was his efforts to blend in which made him stick out. Perfect irony! The actor from the movie would never have been your typical small village Englishman.
Also, many of my favorite lines were gone. The scene with the foreman of the bulldozing crew was nowhere near as effective the way the dialogue was written in the movie.
I admit I have to watch the movie again, because I only saw it once, and I spent most of it comparing the movie to the mini-series. Didn't mean to, but couldn't seem to stop myself. Hopefully I'll like the new novie better the second time around, but it will never be anything more to me than a remake.
