"There will be two completely separate and, I might add, mutually hostile audiences for the resulting film. One will be composed of 'Hitchhiker' fans, millions strong, who will interpret every minute discrepancy between what they are watching onscreen and what they once read on the page as a heresy punishable by law or, where possible, stoning. These people are lunatics, and I am one of them. Opposing us will be hordes of decent, ungeeky humans who will be bewildered and patchily amused by the tale of Arthur Dent and his voyage among the stars."

--Anthony Lane in the New Yorker

See, that didn't merit an "uh-oh," did it?

Indeed, not. It's a good quotation. Although the writer did forget a couple of other groups. The one vjsmom's in, and the one I'm in actually. Geeky about all the details, and yet willing to remain oblivious to the movie.

Well, he was talking about people who were going to be in the audience for the film, which won't be you, or S, at least in the theater.
