'Hitchhiker's Guide' in 'The Pacifier'

I am waiting for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie for so long now, that forgot all about it. Its trailer was in front of The Pacifier, which I saw last Saturday. I didn't like The Pacifier at all. There were some laughs, but not enough to make me feel that I am watching a comedy movie. Vid Diesel's comic antics looks very awkward. His co-stars are no exceeptions. Or maybe the script is really just that silly and the actors couldn't help it. I like the fact that Lauren Graham was there, even though I feel that her talent wasn't put to good use in that movie. I mean, c'mon, she's very funny as Lorelai in The Gilmore Girls. And I like the "soundbites" from The Sound of Music. Hearing some songs from The Sound of Music in a Dolby-surround-sound theatre is wonderful. It sent chills down my spine. The Sound of Music is the first musical that I saw and I saw it only on TV. But I like it so much then and now that some songs, though I have not memorized them, are forever sketched in some small part of my brain. I wish they'd re-release the musical in theatres; digitally remastered, of course.

The trailer from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy looks very promising.
