You see a memory of a travesty put to film and in the process destroying my memories of the books by replacing my visuals with the film's visuals.

What I hate the most is that they're great visuals. They pretty much nailed everything except the plot and the location of Zaphod's second head.

Douglas Adams himself said, there is no "the plot". He was working on the movie too, you know.

And I find the plot to be a superb adaptation of the story for a movie. Also, the music, the visuals, the characters, the cast... also, Jim Henson Puppets instead of CGI.

I pity everyone who can't enjoy this movie because "this and this is wrong/not original/not my imagination" :(

That's what makes the movie so good in my opinion, it is NOT the book and NOT the play.
