I meant it's obvious now, and that kinda ruined the "wtf" humor in it.

I kinda liked the ending, though I hate to think that everybody died. And then light music. Gah. Why did Douglas Adams have to die before he could write that Dolphin-or-something 6'th book.

Everybody died? I don't remember that. All I remember is that Marvin died, that it.



I loved the books and the BBC TV series followed closely to it, but they stopped it where he had written up to at the time. The remake that came out, entertaining somewhat with the yarn doll throwing up, but spent too much time with the singing dolphins and not enough time at Millyways. :(

My house number is 42 so think how I feel.

Awesome.

Book was awesome, move was alright.

I'm booktose intolerant, i've never read the book, but we have the movie taped on our DVR, the movie was pretty funny

The ultimate question:
What do you get if you multiply 6 by 9?
The ultimate answer:
42

They are not one int he same. There is not answer to the ultimate question, as is there no question to the ultimate answer.
The question was wrong. The humans were supposed to be the ones to come up with the answer but the original humans were killed off by the stupid aliens who then inhabited the planet, meaning that Arthur is infact a descendent of these aliens, and not the humans that were meant to be the ones on Earth.

Also, yes they all die in the end. The one spirit trapped through time as being reincarnated to be killed by Dent managed to keep them all alive by himself not being killed by Dent when he was on earth. Thus when he tried to kill dent in his temple created of hatred or whatever, he was unable to as dent hadn't killed him the final time yet. However once they went back to earth (which was recreated in order to sustain this paradox) and Dent ducked the blaster shot thing, and it hit the one reincarnation dude, killing him, the cycle was fulfilled, and thus earth was not needed to exist any more, therefor it didn't, and all those involved in it vanished at that point.

I love the logic used in the book but I still didn't like the sequence after he returned to the missing dolphin earth for the first part. But whatever.

Anyways, yes its a good book.



the movie was pretty funny
Book was much better (entirely different actually, but the difference between it and the original story kept true to douglass's legacy if inconsitancies in reproductions of his work)

Good book but nerd referenced to hell.

I loved the part where they talked about the doors, elevators and ball-point pens. All those horrid stolen ball-point pens.

I've wanted to read the book(s?), but I don't know which to get. I was looking on Wiki and seems like there are many variations.

Read the ultimate guide. It's all five in one and a short story. You can read, and then not stop until it's over.

Or if you really want to get deep, go out and find the original BBC Radio show. Next watch the BBC television show (which has a song by The Eagles as it's theme song). Then finally, watch the movie. The story changes a tiny bit in each incarnation, but Adams say's he wanted it that way. The only thing is that Arthur had to be British. Other than that, the story teller could take an liberty he wanted in Adams' story.

And I have to agree on something, I never can get the hang of Thursday's either when I think about it.

The song is specially made for the series. It is call Journey of a Sorcerer.
