Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Not as bad as Vogon poetry

[barondave]

Reasons to like The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Movie:

1.

2. Good uses for your towel

3. Incessant insults of George W. Bush.


If you go to the movie:

1. Have very low expectations.

2. Stay for the fun bit during the closing credits (you don't have to wait until it finishes).


On the Shockwave ratings scale of 9-23 where 9 is low, 23 is high and all Steve Brust novels get a 17, I rate HHGttG at about a 14.

I'm aware of that, I was responding to Mr. Romm's comment about alleged Bush jokes and making you aware of my opinion that the humor was not aimed at anyone specific, just people in power.

And in that case, they certainly have a chance at staying power due to their non-specifity.
