    The original BBC radio version of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is absolutely incredible. It’s a radio play read by Douglas Adams, so its a step up from a normal audio book and they do a fantastic job on all the voice acting, sound effects and music. This isnt an adaptation either - the series started as a radio sitcom, and was adapted into books, TV, movies, etc.







  • Been a long time since I’ve seen this movie, but I always thought the point of the neonazi was specifically to point out how alike the two were. At the end of the scene where he kills him, the scene is shot in a reflection in a mirror. He kills the nazi, nazi drops out frame in the reflection, leaving just the MC, who then shoots and shatters the mirror itself.

    Wasn’t he also watching the neonazi through reflections in a store’s security mirrors earlier? It’s really been a long time.

    I always assumed the point of the movie was to show how stupid the idea of the “White Man’s Burden” and white persecution complex was, with some critique of American exceptionslism thrown in.

    I shouldn’t be surprised that some people took the exact opposite from the film and empathize with the MC. Kind of reminds me of Fight Club in that sense.
