Tautologicus posted:mos def was a good ford prefect but whoever that was absolutely botched zaphod. texas gunslinger? wtf, he was a smooth wisecracker. and i like how they set it up for a sequel even going so far as to say "and there will be a sequel!" and then they never did the sequel. Liking someone doesn't make them good. He was a terrible Ford Prefect. Zaphod was horrible, too. Actually, every single thing in that movie was terrible and was done better in the HHGG TV series. Coincidentally, the TV series had direct input from Douglas Adams so it was his work. The movie was made after he died and if you know his work at all, it would have never happened in that form. It was nothing like DNA at all. Jokes were completely ruined by people who didn't even understand the joke.

I thought And Another Thing was alright, never read The Salmon of Doubt My only complaint was making the insulting immortal guy a main character instead of the best side character ever Welp thanks for reading

The best Douglas Adams book is Last Chance to See. You either agree, or you haven't read it.

oh yeah I was mistaken I meant the "6th" book that was traumatizing. its been a long rear end time since I've read the books I forgot it was 5 originals, I think my last copy of all of them was just one large book so thats my excuse. anyways if you are capable of reading and dont like the actual hitchhikers books you're a soulless shell of a human.

The book Mostly Harmless is the fifth book in the trilogy, and I'm pretty sure it was written by the man himself. As I recall he said something like "I like knowning where all my characters are when I've finished a story" or something like that. And if they're all dead (like they are at the end of mostly harmless) then you know where they are. Dead.

He also said he was bitter about something while writing the book which is why the tone is so different. I forget the exact story.

I mean I literally read it when it came out so I'm a little fuzzy, but if I recall my main problem with the book was the characters were complete bullshit. I felt like the characters were real people in the other books, even if they changed as the years went on (in and out of book), but it felt no different than a person changing in real life. When I read that 6th one it was like , well... trying to write a story about some people that one guy met a few times and was pretending like it was the real deal. Like the actual plot was almost irrelevant, it was about the characters... in all of them

He said he regretted killing everyone at the end of "Mostly Harmless" but he wanted to make exactly sure that the series wouldn't continue ever. Which is another reason why "...And Another Thing" is so Goddamn tragic.

the build up in the hitchhikers guide to the ultimate answer even being given by the computer was great, he kept it going for at least 10 chapters before this huge letdown. and then the computers had to figure out what the ultimate question was in the first place. it was really well done. anyone using the 42 thing, assuming they have read the books, is reliving that booklong buildup and the anticlimactic answer almost towards the end of the book.

I dunno, according to wikipedia and other things I've read, a lot of the changes were based on what DNA wanted to do. "The script we shot was very much based on the last draft that Douglas wrote.... All the substantive new ideas in the movie ... are brand new Douglas ideas written especially for the movie by him.... Douglas was always up for reinventing HHGG in each of its different incarnations and he knew that working harder on some character development and some of the key relationships was an integral part of turning HHGG into a movie." Yeah it still sucked.
