Hitchhiker's Guide
I saw The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy last night. 
Overall, I wasn't very impressed. On the one hand, I laughed a lot, but on the other, I was bored to tears. It was instantaneously funny, but taken in its totality, it was very dull. I couldn't wait for it to be over, which is such an odd feeling when you're laughing at a hilarious conceit.
Still, there were some bright points. Alan Rickman, as the voice of Marvin, was predictably wonderful. I think Mos Def was a great choice to play Ford Prefect, although I was a little disappointed with Sam Rockwell's Zaphod Beeblebrox -- internally, I've always thought of the mini-series version of the character, so I had a hard time adjusting to Rockwell's disco-freak/George W. Bush approach. The travel through the world-building scene was just as fantastic as I'd ever imagined it (worth the price of admission, really).
I spent a lot of time in the Hitchhiker's Universe in the late eighties and early nineties. I wasn't a fanatic, but I was surrounded by people who were. I wonder if maybe the movie is much more fun to people who don't already know the plot and the main jokes. Still, it had been years since I'd really thought about the Hitchhker's Guide; it was great to rediscover the ridiculous absurdity of it all.
