Doctor Who. Torchwood. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. No one does sci-fi comedy better the British.
Having been a massive fan of the movie since its release in 2005, I’ve had Hitchhiker’s on my TBR for far too long. I knew that Adams had co-written the screenplay for the film, so I had high hopes that I would love the book as much, but I was very pleasantly surprised to find that much of the movie was taken word-for-word from the text; and it is just as funny, bizarre, and absurd. If you, too, love the movie, do yourself a favor and read the book.
And, hey, this is a scary time we’re living in right now, folks. If this is the end of the world…
Don’t Panic
and always carry a towel
