When I read the book, I said aloud "If they made this into a movie, and were faithful to the author's vision, got Spielburg and the writer on board.... Why, that'd be the most amazing picture in all of cinema"
Didn't realize I blew a Monkey's Paw wish, I'd have used it on something I wouldn't mind being delievered to me in a half-assed way.
I'd have said "I want the United States to abandon this Late Stage Fascist Capitalism bullshit", because literally anything else would be better
Even it's because a zombie outbreak happens causing anarchy to break oout, at least I'd be fucking dead and not worrying about this shit anymore.
Maybe my Monkey's Paw only works on movies. Cause I remember seeing the newer Hitchiker's Guide film and hating it so much as the BBC Mini-Series with special effects so bad that it makes Red Dwarf look like Revenge of the Sith and wishing the bozo who mangled the book I loved so much would drop dead.
Didn't realize Douglas Adams, who died shortly after the movie's release, had full creative control of the film...
At least the "So Long And Thanks For All The Fish" song is fire
