    I know a lot of die-hard fans have a lot of problems with the movie but personally I love it, especially these narrated animated bits.

        Yeah. The radio play, books, TV series, and film were all different.

              Honestly that’s the other thing in my mind. I know Adams was very clear he just wanted to change up the story but it was either him or some major comic writer who specifically said adaptations being the same story over and over are just boring.

            That’s a very silly take imo, I’ve watched some movies 20 or more times, and if I go watch a movie from a book I would like to see the story from that bloody book.

                So you are saying I don’t even know the real thing, now I’m really pissed off. My point is if uou want to tell a different story, give it a different name.

        He even wrote most of the movie. Including the bits that really pissed off book fans.

            The one I saw get brought up a lot was the Arthur/Trillian romance. He had actually experimented with that in drafts for other versions, too, but the movie was the first time it got all the way to the final product.

      Absolutely. And Stephen Fry, for all his faults, does a great job narrating.

        What are his faults?

        Genuine question.

          Wouldn’t condemn the views of JK Rowling. Thinks abuse victims should “Grow up”, among other crap.

            Well, I read both.

            Seems a bit sensationalist. I don’t consider him any worse than before.
