Mostly Harmless

With little to do on a Sunday evening, I just saw H2G2 again. Twice will do. I liked this adaptation more on second viewing. It may not be The Cherry Orchard but, structurally, it's the best laid-out version of the story yet.

More than before, I have no idea what the uninitiated will make of it all. It's very British and that's not for everyone. Our screening had a few walkouts by people who looked like they expected Barbershop 3.

Personally, I got a kick out of the familiar story and a warm fuzzy nostalgic feeling at seeing the English countryside (get blown up). Arthur's quest for a good cup of tea and 110 minutes of cult Oxbridge icon Stephen Fry narrating The Book mean I'll lie back and think of England tonight.
