I like Sci-fi _smile.gif

But I haven't heard of them.

So that means I haven't heard of them.

Its a one of five books in a trilogy. Brilliant material that will be interesting to see done in film with all the technology thats been developed.

holy shit, kids, wake up and open a book

the books had been on my to read list since 6th grade, but i only just got around to it. i finished the 3rd one yesterday. theyre amusing, but hard to get into

i think they just started their advertisement campeign today, or something, because ive seen so many ads/commercials today

i knew it was coming out for a long time now (my friend is absolutely obsessed with the books, but he also celebrates pi day, so i dont know why i listen) so i knew about the movie ages ago

The book has been on my 'Must Read' list for months now. I should get around to it once I finish the books I'm reading now.

I don't plan on watching the movie until I've read the books.

The book came first. The movie was based on the book.

I loved the book; one of my favorites. They made the movie into a childish Disney thing and I didn't like it at all. The message was kind of lost.

It depends how you look at it. I have some friends who are so obsessed with the books, they found the movie refreshing because it was different.

I LOVE THIS BOOK SERIES

They did well with the movie, but not as well as the books


"Life, don't talk to me about life"

ahahaha, oh Marvin, if I was gay and a robot, I'd marry you. I'm a huge dork and memorize large sections of the books. I own a super-mecha collection of them. yay for Douglas Adams
