I think you ought to know that I'm terribly depressed...

Last night we (the Athenaeum Club) popped out to watch The Hitchhiker’s Guide to The Galaxy.

Not a bad movie, but not a great movie, either. Maybe 6½ out of 10. The editing was a bit odd, and the story disjointed. Performances were generally good though, and the special effects were splendid.

I doubt it will make my DVD collection unless/until it reaches about £6.99, or comes out with a great deal of additional scenes added back in.

Or both.

Both would be better.

I would happily pay to see the Slartibartfast and Marvin road movie, should they decide to make one. They should.

I felt confused when I came out of the film, because I was happy with all the characters, and it looked good, and it wasn't especially bad it just wasn't especially funny, and I think (although it's a while since I've read the book) that they have over-simplified the plot. It felt a bit dumbed down.

Bill Nihey (or however that's spelt) was cool.
