for douglas

Just watched the movie version of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy .
The film is a tribute to Douglas Adams in a way the Phantom Menace to the original three Star Wars wasn't. The film-maker is definitely human and the undertaking more than. Hence no criticism. Magrathea is wonderful.The Vogons are done well. The Vogon Ships are a work of art. Halfway down the movie I started giggling uncontrollably at seeing the whole thing come alive.... on tv, that is.
Two things I loved - is the title opening with Journey of the Sorcerer song with its eerie thrumming ( which wouldn't have been a surprise if I'd read about the original radio shows - apparently, they used it regularly ) and Zooey as Trillian ( sigh! ).
