Some sad news:
Mike Simpson's excellent website Planet Magrathea (dedicated to Douglas Adams and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) has closed for business.
Since Mike posted his review of the upcoming movie he's been blasted from all sides because, it seems, some people don't like him having an opinion of his own.
The torrent of abuse he's received has reached the point where he basically just got fed up with the whole thing and decided to call it quits. I don't blame him; there are people out there with pure vitriol for blood!
I've known Mike for almost twenty years, and he's one of the nicest guys you could hope to ever meet. I've never heard anyone say a bad word against him until he posted his negative review of the movie. Then all of a sudden - Bam! - hundreds of nasty, bitter, jealous people come crawling out of the woodwork to attack him!
Who'd have thought that any Hitchhiker's fans could be so mean-spirited?
Shame on them!
