And the book wasn’t living up to the original radio series
Mostly kidding on that
I agree that I like the book better, initially I disliked the movie, but I’ve come around on it, some things from the radio series were changed for the book, and so it just kind of feels right they’d further change things for the movie. Playing a little fast and loose with it feels very in the Douglass Adams spirit to me.
I believe Adams himself considered each different medium to be “it’s own story” though just as he added and changed things from the radio play for the book, he also added and changed things in the movie screen play… When he was involved in it. I’m not going to pretend it was all his work but it was it’s own thing.
The movie wasn’t living up to the book though…

Yep
Get analgesic.

But you didn’t hang your towel up before pressing the button.
I still have my original “DON’T PANIC” button which came in the box with the game.

Most don’t but that’s ok :) I still liked it
Not really, but it got me to read the books. And it could’ve been so much worse.
