Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

So long and thanks for all the fish!

That's as far as we got today when I finally made it out to see Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy today. It was beautiful. The irony was perfect.

"The dolphins last words were so long and thanks for all the fish."

"Wow! What a neat effect. I'd never have thought to see the film burn up before our eyes."

And yet... it did.

We watched patiently as the film was incinerated. Ten mintues later, after several people in the audience shouted, "Don't Panic!" and of course, "so long and thanks for all the fish", the attendant came and gave us new passes to see movies there.

Alas, I still need to see the movie, and that was the last theatre in town showing it. :(

Ah well, maybe they'll get a new copy in a few days.

Guess I'll try to remember to Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.
