How the heck are you supposed to film that and keep some semblance of flow to the story? You could do it as a voiceover I suppose, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the plot yet passages like this are a defining feature of an Adams book. I'll be interested to see if they attempted to put passages like this in the movie and if they can pull it off.
About the only way I can see to add substantial content to the film is to have internet links displayed throughout the movie, so you can check the guide entry on your wi-fi notebook during the movie. May not work in the theatre, but perhaps when it goes on DVD...
