Take one, pass it on

It does look quite good, albeit different.  I very much doubt that they'll have kept the same theme tune (which will be a crime of some degree), I am not fantastically keen on an American Ford Prefect (and I miss the blazer), and I very strongly disapprove of the weedy voice they've given the Vogon Prostetnic, but overall it looks remarkably hopeful.

I just hope it has proper cutaway Book sequences, it is an important narative device that lends a lot to the tone of the beast.

Hopeful: I remain positive and cautiously optimistic, but remain aware that it is entirely possible that Hollywood may yet crush all that is good from this movie.

The Heart of Gold, if I'm thinking of the right ship, looked not at all like a training shoe.

This isn't really a hollywood production. It's financed, yes, but all the real work has been done mainly outside of the usual realm.

They crush! All that is good!

It's true!

Every time I get hopeful about a Hollywood film, I force myself to think of Judge Dredd.
