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

In 1973, aged 24, she made her acting debut as a waitress in the film The Final Programme, She is perhaps most well-known for her role of Trillian in the TV series of Douglas Adams's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. #SandraDickinson

positive · AI labelView post →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

neutral · AI labelView post →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.

Finding a gif for this show that wasn't the Martin Freeman movie, I swear, and for shame- The original BBC miniseries blows the movie out of the water, any day. The original had The Eagles's Journey of the Sorcerer as the theme song, man!
