A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
...I decided to not include it since, technically, it follows a different plot.
But they almost all follow different plots. The radio series differs from the books, certainly. The tv series was largely based on the books, though of necessity condensed. No idea how the film will go.
Broadway Musical!
Oh great - now I'm envisioning Andrew Lloyd Webber's HITCHIKER'S GUIDE
We'll edit that "to the galaxy" right out of the title.
It has also been a text game, though I don't know how official that version was...
[eta: And clearly, if it is to be a Broadway Musical, it must be called Don't Panic!]
The Infocom game, Jessica?
You can play the HHGttG text adventure here: [link]
Yes, that's the one! I was completely pathetic at it.

Love it. Alternatively: Galaxy! (or is that too science-y?)
I finally saw The Big Lebowski and found it quite funny indeed. Not as hysterically funny as the people in the room who had clearly already seen it (as you say, it's a grower), but very funny. I like how the plot meanders but builds: the movie is well paced by virtue of each plot point's being a direct result of the previous plot point.
My friends keep wanting to play the Big Lebowski game with me, which involves smoking a joint and/or drinking a Caucasian whenever the Dude does. I'm not one for either activity, besides which it's damn near impossible to make it through the entire movie conscious that way, as they've proven during previous attempts. Still, as movie drinking games go, it's one of the more amusing ones just for its being ridiculous.
Try playing the Tombstone drinking game. Every time Val takes a drink, you take a shot of tequila.
