My wink/grin was for those fans of the books who'll be outraged if the film trashes Douglas Adam's witty saga in favor of some trite Hollywood treatment that fails to respect the original; I agree with them, and I would assume you, as well. I was looking forward to the movie, but if the poetic beauty of Adam's work is completely lost I'll be very disappointed. :o(BTW, notice that the review mysteriously disappeared. Did someone involved with the film's production threaten the site or what? I don't know if the Earth blew up to make way for an intergalactic freeway, but it sure looks like the powers that be made a decision to blow away the movie review (by Douglas Adam's biographer) to make way for the film's shills. ;^)
