Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
I enjoyed the books, and I'm looking forward to seeing this movie! Have any Pixies seen previews? Heard anything good - or bad - about this flick?

Me too! I've got all five books of the trilogy; the BBC radio broadcast on tape; the BBC TV show; and now ... the MOVIE!! 
I watched the trailers on the web and they looked pretty good, but I haven't really heard anything about it yet. I sure hope it's good. Douglas Adams is one of my favorites!

I have enjoyed all the books he has written (including the non HHGTTG ones) and have also seen some of the TV show and listened to some broadcasts and liked them all... I have reservations about the film after seeing the trailer at the theatre this past weekend... this is one that I might wait for video before I see it.

I've liked the trailers, especially the one that describes what a trailer is. I'm a little worried, but I'm cautiously optomistic

It’s always hard to see a movie after reading a good book, but after what they did with Sagan’s “Contact”,  I’m more than reluctant to see the movie for a book of this nature.

thats the beauty of this movie it didn't start out as a book the book was writen from a BBC radio show then it was made in to a TV show too. None of which are the same. So even if they do make changes in the movie it will be just part of the Hitchhikers Guide saga. I just wish Adams was still alive to put his input into the movie.
