Come early May, we’ll all be in England for the Wedding of Andre and Julie. It gives me a chance to catch one movie that isn’t released in Norway yet. I thought it was a no-brainer: The Hitchhiker’s Guide release date for Norway is in Mid-August! But then I read MJ Simpson’s review of the movie, and if only half of what he says is true, then this is just what everybody feared: Disney has completely missed the point, and they are pissing on Douglas’ grave.
So the alternative is Sin City, which is already released, is getting pretty good reviews, and not going to be shown in Norway before July. I am just not anticipating it as much as I was HHG2G.
I think what I really want to say is: I am very, very sad to hear that the movie is (very probably) so terribly, terribly bad.
Why is it XOR that you have decide upon?
I’m still not sure. The Register says it’s "Mostly Harmless" and even finds some good things to say about it. I think I’ll watch it in Norway, and watch Sin City in England.
Kjetil is going to see it this weekend, he is in scotland for a few days. It’s going to be interesting to hear what he says. Personal accounts are always better than reviews.
It’s decided. I’ve ordered Hitchhiker tickets. Wigan, UK, Saturday at 18:10.
