Summer Movie Extravaganza (the Sequel)

The Hitchikers Guide To The Galaxy sure makes a confusing acronym.

Anyway, I might go see it soon. I'm not sure, depends if i can find anyone to go with. I hate going to the movies alone. It's too ummm.. lonely.

My problem exactly, Godleswanderer. Everyone's currently so wrapped up with exams and D of E that there's little chance of organising any out-of-school get together, and the odds of meeting up in school are little better. Education blows.

I'm not sure what I'm going to make of H2G2. Ian Simpson, the foremost expert on Douglas Adams, was not impressed by it, and was forced to shut down Planet Magrathea partially because of it. I'll judge it for myself when I see it, though.

Uhm. The original was actually a novel by H.G. Wells. And it was adapted into a movie in the fifties or sixties.

My bad, the book came out in 1898 but the radio play is much more famous. It was broadcast on Oct. 30, 1938. Much of America was shitting itself because they thought that it was a real news broadcast.

My eyes are filled with tears and my gut hurts from laughing. That's the funniest thing I've seen in a LONG time.
