it will cost you £5 to see it. it that really so much money you have to ask the internet before you make YOUR own mind up?

usually people that go to the movies alone (no social life) ask these sort of questions. you need to be more understanding doombrain. you're a fucking moderator here at quake3world and it is your sworn duty to set a good tone..regardless.

DAMNIT

Such a miserable attempt at dry wit. It never ceases to amaze me how you can so thoroughly extract the funny from a post before you make it. It's as if you have some sort of meticulous humor-removal algorithm that you've spent years perfecting. Creepy.

He has a "humour sponge"
It basically extracts all the funny from his posts and stores
it up. Because there is never that much funny in the posts
then he saves it and soon enough he will make his anual
witty post. Its proven fact.

seza is a 10'000'000 times funnier then LegionXS, fact.

Forza is out !

Amazing. Not an ounce of funny left. What's your secret?

maybe he means worth as in worth his time (or if its better to just watch a different movie or something). atleast thats what i mean when im thinking about what movie to see

Martin Freeman was just on Jonathan Ross. Had a kind of very British dry wit. Movie looks pretty watchable too, even though it was made by Disney.

Anyone seen National Treasure? Thank fuck I only saw a pirate copy and didn't spend good money on it. What a complete pile of stupidly plotted, badly scripted, direly acted cunt.

Have you been drinking toner, printerboy?

**spoilers**


saw it today, well it was entertaining but they changed the plot quite a bit. There was a lame romance between Trillian and Arthur, ( "is she THE ONE?") and the end was pretty stupid. If you know the story you just kind of went "hah? that's not right" at the end.I better not give the end away even though I'm doing spoilers here.
There was a lot of good stuff in there, too. It didn't seem to be americanized at all, pretty pure british humor, I was glad of that.

The new marvin robot was good even though a little too cute ( can you say marketing of children's toys - I'm sure there is already a stuffed marvin at the Disney store). The TV series marvin was in it for a second, you have to look quick but he's there. When they go to the planet factory on Magrathea it's really amazing, they show planets being built actual size instead of a small model like in the TV series.

There's a lot to like in it, and most of it is Adam's original dialog, but they switched stuff around a lot, it will be the original dialog but someone else saying it. They did tinker with the plot a bunch.
The part where they tell stories from the guide with the voice over is good, it has the funny graphics and everything.

John Malkovich is good as a character that wasn't in the TV series, a kind of villain who however isn't really important to the plot. Mos' Def was a lot better than I thought he was going to be, but a little too daffy towards the end. The Arthur Dent was adequate, a little too macho, should have been more milquetoasty. The Zaphod Beeblebrox was really good, though. Deep Thought is Helen Mirren, a little odd to have it be a woman's voice.

The Vogons were great, they were developed a lot more and sort of seemed a commentary on British bureaucracy. They took a few stabs at George Bush, which was fine with me, and expected since the movie was made by Europeans.

I think the hardcore Hitchhikers fans will probably hate it, people that are less hardcore will like it more. It wasn't the kind of knock- you-down experience that I was hoping for but it was entertaining enough.

It's as if he tries to be like Gervais but doesn't pull it off as well (from watching Ross). He's still good though.
