I love how Adams mocked atheism before whipping right around and just as savagely mocking religion with the nose cult thing. The man truly was equal-opportunity with his satire. No one was safe and nothing too sacred.

One of the weirdest films ever

is that Stephen Fry doing the narration?

I know the books for a long time, but just now I connected the Babel Fish dictionary with the books.

yay for VenomLSX. Finally someone that thinks a bit more than the original thoughts. The animations were fun in the descriptions and they couldn't have picked anyone better than Stephen Fry to voice the guide. Alan Rickman also rocks as the voice of Marvin.

And then man was killed the next day at a zebra crossing.

0:40 "Forgive me, O Lord! I have sinned with thy animal and now thy hands must be burned!"

Yes, it's always a toss-up going from book to movie, because the voice in your head is always infinitely funnier than any mere mortal speaking into a microphone. However, I did enjoy Mr. Fry's rendition of it. But i was less than pleased on his "space is big" section during the movie.

Each reincarnation of the story was different and that was Douglas Adams intention.Stylistically I think the look of the guide was a great choice.I was disappointed by a few scenes of the movie that didn't have the grandeur i expected (the earth explosion,the deep thought revelation, etc) but other scenes compensated for that.So I am positive the movie was an improvement over the 80's TV series.Those who disagree suffer from nostalgia.

i love this Movie!!!!

I love this scene. :D

the onli change in the storyline is the part wherre trillian gets kidnaped and the part they have to find a gun...

@qwertymanXD That would make sense because I haven't watched the deleted scenes yet.

And that the earth is recreated then and their.

what I meant was that a series can have more information than a 2 hour movie

Because It Is So Useful, that it is highly improbable that it evolved from a lesser being

it surely is highly improbable

What day is it?^^

Tell me, does the babel fish allow to to translate what is coming out of your mouth, or does it just translate what one hears?

I always thought he was a mix between beetle and juice.

In layman's terms denying it's latin origin we are told it means 'quite elegantly done' but Latin is just cooler.

I love that God is on a treadmill.

@VenomLSX actualy its 1hr an 42 mins

@ATOMICWATERSTUDIOS Yes, yes it is.

So the translations are poop is what he's essentially saying. Oh Douglas, you never fail to amuse me...

you do realize that was a SERIES, not a movie.

"Quod erat demonstrandum" - Its latin, put at the end of a definitive proof. Don't even ask how I know that.

Kirkenseth MERP It's never too long to reply.

At which point you stick the little buggers in THEIR ear so they understand YOU.

:/ That part wasn't in the version I bought O_o

Precisely.

i started by the books....its been a bit long for replying lol...

Oh, my mistake then.

i'm at the moment reading the series and since i guess you readed all of them could you tell me why the movie is so mutch hated?

yeah bout halfway through i from a deleted scene

Oh I'm immature? I'm not the one using toilet insults

why?

is that fish real/?/????? plese respond

Wait wait wait...you're saying that Stephen Fry screwed up the voice of the guide?! My dear sir, i disagree!

Maybe, but what about Oolon Colluphid? HE has quite a bit to say about the God known to humans Who shouldn't be known to the rest of the galaxy. *lol*

0:36 XD

What does 'QED' stand for?!?!? I REALLY WANT TO KNOW!

@ATOMICWATERSTUDIOS You're kidding, right ?

@yamakagesama haha ya

Sadly this film was a big let down for me, loved the tv series in the 80s .

What?

and the part where they kiss...

Why does my movie missing the God non existent part?

i dont get the cow bit

actually, oddly enough they never mentioned if ford is a black or white man so i guess they went with *insert races name*

I don't understand why people keep saying this movie sucks. The old TV series may be BETTER, but that doesn't mean the movie sucks so much that it's unwatchable. Oh, and by the way, you need to work on your english.

What the heck is wrong with the farmer, of course cows like to be milked, they get ill if they don't, its a relief for them!

the OLD version was better :( there was no black = white stuff in this

Good luck speaking the language.

Would totally stick that in my ear. Just sayin.

oi ta ta

oi tata

can someone explain the non existent god proof ?

So doesn't this argument create the doubt needed for God to exist?

The whole non-existence of God bit is funny, but I think Adams wrote that bit wrong. If The Hitchhiker's Guide truly is the most popular book in the galaxy, then one would think that the Babel Fish should be used as final clinching proof of the nonexistence of Zarquon, since no other planet but Earth has ever heard of "God". If Adams wanted to say what he wanted about how ridiculous religion seems to him, I think he'd be better off exploiting Zarquonism to no end.

This is the funniest argument against the existence of god ever. God obviously doesn't exist because it is so obvious that he does exist.

Well the guide states god is dead now. And as we all know it is reality which is inconsitent and flawed, not the guide!

I just heard the old version and didn't like it, Stephen Fry does it better

no, you could just translate what people say, you would not be able to speak what they speak

God they got this film so unbelievably wrong.

The movie really doesn't follow the same storyline as the book. Oh, and the Actor for Zaphod Beeblebrox was a TERRIBLE choice.

@ATOMICWATERSTUDIOS in ur dreams, which isnt pretty

Proof of mastery of DNA manipulation.

okay, the old series are clearly better. Judging from the babelfish scene in the old series, and comparing them with this one. It's just not as funny. I've seen other scenes from the movie, but I find that they lack spirit

TV series was a lot better.

eh. this isn't as funny as the originals.
