Just back from seeing h2g2 (quite a bit later than expected, due to the apparent difficulty of getting a whole two of my friends in the same place at the correct time. And one of them lives with me.) But *squee!*

marymac and I are at war, because we both claim Mos Def for our own. (He's totally mine. Don't tell her.)[she lies!]

...okay, wresting back my keyboard from marauding housemates...


I loved it. There are some things I missed - like "mostly harmless", the explanation for the towels, Marvin's speech about the doors - but I didn't even think of them till after the film. The dolphins! The dolphins' song! And Stephen Fry as both the Guide and the narration for the Magrathea chronicle was suitably droll.

The Vogons were superb. I demand an all-singing all-dancing Vogon movie.

I'm guessing the Ford/Arthur, Ford/Zaphod, Zaphod/everyone slash is being written as I type? Because it wouldn't be much of a leap. Lots of hugging and random touching. Doctor/Rose level of random touching going on, here.

I love, love, love Mos Def, and the line "you're not really from Guildford? Well, that would explain the accent, I've always wondered." I love the idea that Arthur was just always too polite to ask why Ford had an American accent. Martin Freeman was excellent.

Original Marvin! And the warning system at Magrathea was the original Arthur, wasn't it? And the theme tune! I loved the original series, even though it had a budget of 7p, so I was so happy they kept the theme.

I almost cried when I thought Marvin was [spoiler], but then he picked up the [spoiler] and [spoilered] the Vogons. And it was good.

Wanna see it again. Want DVD. Want extra scenes. Mostly want more Vogons and a Mos Def of my own.
