5/03/2005 - Galactic conquest is here!
Okay, so I was gonna write a post when I got back from Bath (it's a place, moronhead), but instead I put if off because I'm a tard. So anyway, highlight of the week was that I saw Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I was gonna tell people how awesome it was, but we always got distracted before I finished talking about all the bad bits about it and onto the good stuff. XD First of all, I don't remember anything about the old radio show except a few select phrases. I hadn't even got a clue about what the story in the whole thing was. So naturally, when I watched the movie I was like WHOAMG. THIS SHIT IS THE SHIT. Seriously, HHGttG is AWESOME. What a kickass story/radioshow/book/alltherest. However, there were some badly done elements in the movie that were apparant to even me, despite not being familliar with it and stuff. Soso The bad bits: 1) Marvin. And everything about him. His design, his look, his voice, the way he walked. It was all WRONG. You can tell by the dialogue alone that he's just not meant to be this cutesty sony-esque midgetbot. Just... no. << It just wasn't right. 2) The composition. of the whole film. It all begins so well. The earth is destroyed, they gotta rescue the chick from the-and now the'ye at the super compu-oh look mice! Oh by the way it's the climax now- what? you missed it! 3) The unnecessary addition of extra presence of romantic tension. I mean, come on, a SHOWER SCENE? Chrissakes! << 4) The mice being stowaways on the spaceship. That just didn't make SENSE. 5) The American attempt at being British. Yeah, we drink tea and call pants trousers, but you guys are still way off. 6) The whole song with the dolphins. That was so not cool. The good bits: 1) Zaphod Beeblebrox. He seemed pretty spot on, and was a really good laugh. 2) The whole beginning bit past the dolphins. The movie just begun really well. It was really exiting and wacky. n n 3) The improbability drive. They way they handled that... wow. It's HILARIOUS. Totally awesome, Ay-plus-plus. 4) The spaceship designs. For the heroes and for the Vogons, and also that planet workshop. Top quality, man. Very awesome. 5) The idea swatters. That was SO BRILLIANT. It broke my brain. 6) The guidebook. It was sad but about halfway into the movie they just seemed to have forgotten about it. The guide was done really really well! Want to see my spaceship? //Anonymous::1:14 PM EST\ # | |
