I followed HGttG since the 80s radio show, through all the novels, the TV show and more. There was a lot I liked about the film, but there was something it was missing for me. I know that the film's pacing was stepped up, which I didn't care for. The quality of actors and production was much, much higher... but that kinda lessened the experience. I guess in the other incarnations the script was the main thing. Perhaps I wanted that to be center again. Douglas Adams is... was... the best.
ReplyDeleteHe is a hard act to follow! smirnoff's enthusiasm and my giving it another chance, really did the trick with this movie. I too think it's the actors who make it shine. Wow, Steve. You've really outdone yourself with this post! So much work! I don't make it easy for you, do I? :) LOVE the whale video!
