Oct. 4th, 2005 07:50 pmSo, I went to see Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on Saturday. I must say I was rather disappointed. The entire movie seemed somewhat lacking. I don't know what it is, really, I was just.. expecting something more, I guess. I think Zaphod's heads were all wrong. Aren't they supposed to be able to look at each other? I didn't like the dolphin song, either. Made me feel like I was watching a Disney animated movie like Little Mermaid or something.
I suppose the movie was funny, though. Judging by the bursts of laughter from the row behind me, anyway. I'd already heard every funny joke, of course, since they're in the book, so they didn't catch me by surprise.
I'm only 2/3 through Life, the Universe and Everything, so of course I don't know what happens to Arthur and Trillian later on, and I don't know squat about any other version out there, but I was a bit annoyed by what happened at the end. Eh, maybe I still haven't got over the suffocating amount of romance in HBP, but why does the guy always have to get the girl, huh?
Anyway, Marvin is still lovable as always. What is there not to like about Marvin? And Alan's voice could only make it better. Bill Nighy got a private little inward squee out of me, too. Honestly, all that guy need to do is show his face and I'm already in a better mood. Marvin and Slartibartfast, they made the experience worth it.

Other things I've done lately include playing Tekken 5 to buy every single extra costume. I bought Ganryu's extra costume and it looked so stupid I thought I'd make him work to make up for the loss. In other words, I opened the Arcade mode and started going through Ganryu's move list - I can't believe I've never done that before, not even in T2 or TTT - and damned if he doesn't rock.
