I read every book, because I saw the movie. The books were funnier, but I would never have picked them up if I hadn't enjoyed the movie.

Douglas Adams would prefer the movie be different from the book. But, he wouldn't prefer that it was completely unfunny. You guys are right.

So, if you're pissed that the movie didn't faithfully follow the book, you should also be pissed that the book didn't faithfully follow the radio show.Each incarnation of the Hitchhiker's Guide was a separate story that followed the same basic plot, but was rewritten for each version. Thus, the creations of Douglas Adams HIMSELF didn't match up.So, settle down. It wasn't THAT bad of a movie. The book wasn't first - the radio series was.

This line is a brilliant homage to Adams' writing style. I imagine if he had been alive to see his movie finished, and yet not involved in any way, he would have said the same thing.
