A confession....

Rather like having warm treacle poured down your back while being chased by gibbons.

That's just another pleasant Wednesday afternoon for me...

I saw it again yesterday on satellite: it seems to be a bit less than 'meh' now.

Yeah, man. A chick I used to mess with wanted me to see that one. She claimed it was so great. Now, I have a wide range of comedy styles that I enjoy, but the film itself was just "meh" for me. And no I have not read the book.

My favorite adaptation of the books is the old BBC Radio 4 series, which was infinitely better than the 2000s movie and a little more complete than the 1981 BBC 2 TV version, which was also endearing. Although maybe I like the radio shows because they remind me of being little and listening to the box set my dad got as a perk for joining an NPR station. 

I have a copy of the old BBC TV Series and have watched it many times before that on our local PBS station. I love it's quirkiness and was actually very disappointed in the big screen adaptation. Nothing will ever replace the book for sheer reading pleasure but the tv version was fun.
