Anyone ever read the book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil? No? It’s a decent book, despite its popularity.
Anyway, there’s a quite wonderful character in that book who has a phrase she likes to use (and I quote):
“Two tears in a bucket, motherfuck it.”
And there we are.
So I’m moving on.
More importantly, has anyone else been excited about the Hitchhiker’s movie? It still stands as my favorite book. Douglas Adams’ sense of humor and writing style is… unparalleled.
Well, it’s paralleled, I suppose, but I think it’s a rare breed of brilliant comedy, subtlety, writing, and… whatever. It’s late and I’m tired.
But what worries me is that in every preview I’ve seen I don’t recognize the dialogue. And that weird cat with the squiggly legs? No idea where he came from.
I just hope the movie stays at least somewhat true to the book.
