Hitchhiker

I've never read "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". It seems most people have. I've always wanted to, it definitely sounds like something I'd enjoy, just never got around to it. Think I will soon though. I've seen the previews that it's been made into a movie. Apparently according to this guys review, a horribly bad movie. I guess it's also been a TV series/miniseries? Haven't seen them. The review makes the movie sound awful, (read "Spaceballs without meaning to be) even more so as he keeps going on and on about what a great, funny book it actually is. Won't be seeing the movie, will be reading the book.
