# no, Freeman shouldn't be allowed near anything
*vomits at memory of Hitchhikers*

# I don't necessarily hold him accountable for that...
Sure it was an abomination (exception - Bill Nighy), but the poor man is a jobbing actor and you can't expect him to knock back a gig like that.

# no, but I can expect him to vaguely get the character right
The point of Arthur was he was annoyed by everything, Freeman was pretty upbeat for the whole thing. I do hold him responsible for ruining it :D

# I won tickets to the premiere
I met Lily Cole and Stephen Fry signed my ticket.
Plus I got overnight accom at a 5-star hotel.
Which excuses everything as far as I'm concerned.

# Except for the whole Humma Kavula debacle

# Even that didn't bother me
None of it did, since every version of Hitch-Hiker's has always contradicted every other version.

No.

So why did I hate it, even though it had Zooey Deschanel and Martin Freeman in it? (And I'd go gay for Martin Freeman and go straight again for Zooey Deschanel.)

Because of the ending. It makes no sense. Hitch-Hiker's never had much plot but at least it *almost made sense*. The ending of that film makes no fucking sense whatsoever. If they could rebuild the Earth and reset it to a second before it went why in God's sweet name would the mice need Arthur's brain? They wouldn't. The whole fucking POINT of getting at his brain was because they'd have to rerun the whole multi-million year program. But no, someone had to change that to have a nice happy uplifting ending. Yeah well FUCK your fucking happy uplifting ending, it does NOT MAKE SENSE.

# Yeah but it shut MJ Simpson up
Which has to be a good thing.
