Happy Hitchhikers Day
Just a few hours away from the first showing of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. I don't think my husband slept much last night, fretting about how not-perfect it might be.Right now on Rotten Tomatoes.com it has a 56% rating.

Here's an interview with screenwriter Karey Kirkpatrick, who also wrote Chicken Run (the only movie to get a 100% fresh rating on RottenTomatoes.com).
And if you'd like to travel back in time twenty years, if you think those were better days, here's an online version of the old text-based Hitchhikers adventure game. Mmm, even now I can smell the hydrochloric acid-based coffee from Villanova's Mendel Hall vending machine.
