So we didn't take our towels with us...

Sure, we went on opening night. Sure, we got to the theater two hours early to ensure good seats. Sure, we've been counting the days ever since we saw the preview for IT when we went to see Sin City.

But we didn't take our towels...

I enjoyed it. Sure, it was different. Sure, it wasn't a faithful translation of the books to film. But it had the Hitchhiker spirit. And it's not like we're dealing with a set of books that were to be considered canon or anything. The radio plays were different from the novels. The novels were different from the television treatment. The move was slightly different from all others. That's Hitchhikers.

If you like the Hitchhikers series, then go see the movie with an open mind...
