The movie premiere here isn't until juli 27th(!), so there's plenty of time to finish. I might have to get the English version. I've read that once and I know this Swedish version is losing jokes in translation.
I've seen the trailers a hundred times and it bugs me that I now place those faces into the book, instead of the ones I had imagined before. Like my Ford was white before and he still is sort of, but I keep thinking that he's black in the movie. Arthur just looks younger now, I always imagined him like the (bad)cartoon on the cover.
Oh well..the book is still cracking me up. Especially the Vogon poetry part and that other guy who had the next worse poems in the universe. Arthur and Ford have just been picked up by The Heart Of Gold after spending 29 seconds in space. The guide says you can survive for 30 seconds, if you hold your breath.

There's so much in the book that they possibly can't convey in a movie. Phrases like, the ships hung in the air, much like bricks don't. Descriptions of things and so on..
I do like how the movie looks in the trailers, but I don't expect it to be what the five books are. That's impossible.
Oh and Zaphod has two heads, or two faces. They're on top of each other. One hidden where his throat would be..it's in the trailer.

i can only say i read a newspaper article which is the foundation for my solid trust in the director & producer.
no film can ever be as good as the book, so let's not try to llook at it that way.
