Have you read any of the other reviews on aint-it-cool? There's reviews from long time fans and some newbies. All have liked it except for the Arthur & Trisha romance which smells of Hollywood suit meddling.

Here's the latest newbie review: [link|http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=19913|http://www.aintitcoo...play.cgi?id=19913]

I realize it's all about the words. I absolutely love books written like Adams style. I wish I could relive the glee I had at first reading (alzheimers may be good for something at least...) But in reading books like HHG, Red Dwarf and Good Omens, I'd really like to see them given the big screen treatment. As long as they get most of the good stuff in there I'll be happy. HHG done on a visual medium probably would work best on TV where the story can be stretched out and everything can get in. Anyways, have fun with your head in the sand. I'm going to have some fun in two weeks time. :-D

I haven't seen all of Red Dwarf yet. I think I still need to see seasons seven and eight. With five and six recently out on DVD I'm starting again from season one. My one criticism of the later episodes I have seen is that the bickering got stale. The dilution is likely due to trying to grow the characters. I downloaded the American pilot several years ago. Hehe, that was terrible.

The Matrix started well and the last third deteriorated. Don't even get me started with the sequels. A fucking mess they were and in no way, shape or form original.

As for The Matrix, it was mostly cool (aside from Reeves wooden acting) until the reveal towards the end that humans were essentially batteries. Lame.
