a hitchhikers guide to the galaxy

I'm thinking about drinking some mushroom tea tonight, and watching the movie, a hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. has anyone done this, or recomend this? I haven't even seen this movie, but it looks good for tripping. ( I like to watch movies I've never seen before while tripping, because it's like a new experience. )

if your planning on watching that 2005 remake version, let me just say that it is awful! douglas adams would be rolling in his grave if he could see that debauchery! 
i highly recommend you watch the original 6 part BBC series from 1981 instead. its brilliant! ive tripped to it a few times and usually have near convulsive fits from laughing sooo hard.
the first episode is just laying the groundwork, and the second episode is where shit really gets hilarious. the series is near genius as far as i am concerned. this shit is made for tripping!

Wouldn't it be a new experience regardless of whether you are tripping or not, since it is a movie you have never seen before?
Anyway, have fun, I am sure it will be a great time , though I usually can't get into movies while tripping.
But you should read the book...it is hilarious, much better than the movie, which I didn't think was too bad. I have not listened to the radio show, but it sounds like I should.

yes but what I mean is if I'm watching a movie while tripping I prefer it to be one that I haven't seen

fuck the movie...the BBC series isn't bad to rent...you would enjoy the books 30x more....but tonight is the super moon jazz,your movie can wait for tomorrow..tripping with tv seems a waste.

was an excuse to trip,but nothing glorious.

The movie was nothing special, kinda wished I just read the book now.

I totally understand you guys recomending the book. I do like reading, some of my favorites being fear and loathing, doors of perception, on the road, and many more, I'll defintly look into hitchikers guide to the galaxy, but the thing is, like I said, I'm going to be shrooming, and I'm not sure if I can even maintain reading a sentence without the words falling off the page or scrambling up. that's why I wanna watch a movie, I looked for the 6 part version but I couldn't find it (I have a bunch of Microsoft points so I have a large variety of movies I can buy on my xbox) and I'll be stuck at home, I love to watch movies while solo tripping, aside from music, and lying down in the dark and what not

I wasn't suggesting you read it while tripping, haha, just in general...great book.
How was the trip? I hope it was awesome!

I enjoyed the movie, but I never read the book, so that's probably why
I had no clue there was an old series of it though. I'll have to find it to watch.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.

I believe before douglas adams died he had some say in that movie, so it's not like he would hate it or anything. The movie is very good, especially if you have not read the books. BUT after you read the books, you will see how much the movie was a let down. The BBC radio series, and BBC TV show was really good also. I would reccomend watching the movie tripping though

well thanks to you guys i went out to look for the book. and i found out that in my english class, i have to choose from a small but not that small variety. (theres hundreds of books, but out of all the books in the world, thats quite small.) well anyways, i found out that a hitchikers guide to the galaxy by douglas adams, is infact, on of those books. though im planning on making some shroom tea this weekend, i figured since i tend to get easily lost during movies while shrooming, i can read the first couple chapters before hand, and i will have a clue of whats going on so i dont totally not know whats happening.
