looks k.
It has the guy from The Office whose name I can't get right, and I like the work that he does.
But I heard that they were taking out the jokes to expand the plot, and include more special effects, so I expect they might kill it.

It can't really work as a movie. They'll probably kill it.
I'm expecting it to be amazingly shite. But I can't wait to watch it!

Martin Freeman's a good actor and all, but he isn't really that kind of actor. Any Office fans will understand.
Looking forward to it though. It's got Alan Rickman, so it must be reasonably good.

Mike Judge? or are you talking about a guy from office space plays sombody in the movie cats?
Expo I'm a fan of The Office and I don't have a clue what you mean about Martin Freeman. I mean, when I found out that Martin was playing Aurther it just seemed right. Martin is how I imagined Aurther to look like.

I hope they don't fuck this up. I love this book. I heard the same as Cats, they're taking the substance out, especially a lot of the Guide references. They're the best bit!

A very long time ago, a TV series was produced by the BBC of the Hitchhicker's Guide to the Galaxy. It was unsurprisingly crap, but Arthur Dent was played by Simon Jones, who also played him in the original radio series, and he fit perfectly.
Martin Freeman, though, seems alright, but just not right. Maybe I've just immortalized him as 'Tim' in my mind, but he just doesn't seem to fit the part.
The best parts by far were always the long, and often random, monologues by 'the book'. If they are omitted, the movie will only be average at best.

Oh, I love that show. Like it's an hour of funniness when I watch it after scrubs.
