Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy!

Postby cavalierlwt » Tue Apr 26, 2005 9:38 am

Just a couple of days till Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy opens! It looks pretty good, although it's definitely not the kind of comedy that's going to appeal to everyone.

I also am putting some faith in the upcoming Batman movie out in June. Looks like they've abandoned the campy Batman and gone for the 'Batman: Year One' style from the comics. Christian Bale (the guy playing Batman) is a good sized guy and looks like they finally found someone that fills out the suit for once.

It's hard for me to picture a black guy as Ford Prefect, but I'll keep an open mind for the movie, it will probably be just fine. Sam Rockwell as Zaphod looks funny as all hell though! Cheesy and way too self assured, it's just perfect.

I'm going to see it Saturday!!! can't wait, though i never did finish the book :(. The only batman movie that was any good in my book was the first one with Michael Keaton(sp?). Val kilmer wasn't all that good at all and George Cloony seemed to just be a bad joke.

I'll see it just to watch Sam Rockwell, who is one of the best actors today. Never read the book(or is it books?).
