Hitchhikers

[altariel]

Mr Altariel and I went to see The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy this afternoon (I had already been to see it earlier in the week with glitterboy1).

About ten minutes in, the bulb blew in the wondrous digital projector (advertised as such before the film started). The sound carried on. "D'you know," quipped Mr A., "this would make a good radio series."

I liked it, despite the daft bits. Mr A. liked the Vogons and Trillian but not nasty Mr Zaphod. Something for all the family, except perhaps the extremely confused five-year-old boy sitting next to us. Did Mr A. mention he liked Trillian? I think he may have.

Why is it that good movies always come out in spurts? Right now there are several playing that I'd like to see, and I probably won't manage to catch half of them before they leave the theater. Then weeks will go by without anything watchable playing in town. "Tis most annoying!

There's been a bit of a drought up till now, hasn't there? At least we have a bit of a breathing space before Serenity.

With movies, it's always either a drought or a flood (with the floods inevitably coming at the times you're busiest and least able to catch a film). Why can't it be a steady trickle instead?
