Hitchhiker's Guide says: Who Cares?

Saw it. Reread the book today prior to watching. What can I say? It was an enjoyable 2 hours, but pure fluff and I forgot it as soon as I left it. It had no coherent plot and no central idea (except for "Universe is meaningless"). But that is what I thought about the book, as well. Good as a short story, not enough for a novel. Or a movie.

Loved Marvin, though.

ETA: The Batman trailer looks amazing. Can't wait. And who did they think the audience was going to be? Half the trailers were for kiddie movies. Ugh.

Well, it was a PG movie so I guess they figured they'd have a young audience.

That's true, but I would imagine a kid would be pretty bored at Guide.

Ahhh, Marvin. Love Marvin!

Bale as Batman. Guh.

Oh, he looked sooooo good. And this looked much better than the other Batman movies, even the very first one. Now I need a batman icon.

I really like the first ones, but this one seems more... realistic? Does that make sense? Like you can actually stop and think, "Could there really *be* a Batman?" So, yeah, I look forward to it. When does it come out? June?

June 15th.

Yes, it does seem a lot less "cartoony" Wich, as Spiderman has proven, can be very good.

Speaking of movies... love the icon. I can't wait for that one. We finally get to see Orly as a leading man (and see if he has the chops for it). Also, come on, Liam? I just love him in those kind of roles.

I thought the book was much better, and I didn't even think the book was THAT great..

(stupid tacked-on love triangle...:P)
