    Books to film 📚=🎞️ The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1979) by Douglas Adams, originally a BBC radio sitcom that was filmed in 2005. Largely faithful to the original work, adding a layer of romance and other film vehicles such an elevated threat to create an engaging film. 👽👍🛸 #filmsky #booksky

    Just watched the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie again, and it was way better than I remember. I guess I hadn't seen it since I was a kid and I didn't get all the jokes about beurocrats, but I do now. Zooey Deschanel wasn't great, though

    DON'T PANIC! It's the 20th anniversary of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy directed by Garth Jennings from an initial draft written by Douglas Adams before he died. I think the film has never gotten a fair shake, it's a glorious and hilarious tribute to Adams' wonderful creation.

    Pronouncing the "al" of Godalming or the "d" of Guildford both indicate someone is from elsewhere. The latter featured in the film version of The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy as a tell that Ford was lying about his origins most people would miss.
