Translation of prose from books to cinema (Score 2)

Have you figured out how to translate your delightful prose from novel format to cinema format? For example, your commentary on digital watches and the beings who wear them is still funny to me even though I've read it two dozen times, yet I don't feel that it would be appropriate in a movie. In the short-lived video series, it just bogged down the action. Yet it still needs to be there somehow, otherwise the resulting film would not have the flavor of the original Hitchhikers. No matter what you come up with, however, it will be loved as much as the original books.
