Hitchhikers

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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.

The Vogons lumbered very well. They reminded me of the Skeksis from The Dark Crystal. And the bits of Vogon bureaucracy were like Brazil.
