Yup - too old, not skinny enough, and just wrong.

Also not loving Sean Austin as Twoflower. American accent??? Purlease!

Apparently it starts on the 23rd March on Sky One. I'm sure I caught a glimpse of Tim Curry in it, too. From what I saw he's a wizard but I think he would have been better as the Patrician.

so did anyone catch the discword movie, what did you think of it.
i thought it was really good more enjoyable than the hogfather, but was slightly disapointed they changed one of my favorite lines and Herena was slightly over dressed , but still a verry good film.

roll on equal rights or gaurds, gaurds movie now

We need a Three Witches movie next - I think Maskerade might be fun to make...

i have not read maskerade yet, the only witch ones i have read are the tiffany books and equal rights, looks like i got some reading to do

Maskerade is written after the original three witches, Magrat, Nanny Ogg and Granny Weatherwax, part company. The older two have to go looking for a new third witch.

I loved the Tiffany Aching books - I like the scene in Wintersmith where she dances with the bees.

well right now i have made a start on wierd sisters hopfully i will get through it all, lataly i just cant seem to finnish any books

Wyrd Sisters is fabulous. It should be taught in schools.

good news everyone

yet another movie by skyone

on the subject of films, what ever happend to the wee free men one thats one of my favourites next to the night watch books

edit/ just found out

In a June 2008 interview, Pratchett said "I saw a script that I frankly thought was awful. It seemed to be Wee Free Men in name only. It had all the hallmarks of something that had been good, and then the studio had got involved. It probably won't get made.

ah well, if he was not happy with it lets hope it wont get made just yet

No films of Pratchett books should be produced without his involvement. At any stage.

just bought discworld graphic novels
(colour of magic and light fantastic)

this time Rincewind looks too young, but still a enjoyable retell of the books

I saw some of the new graphic novels out! I've only got Guards! Guards! at the moment.

Just finished re-reading Night Watch, then Reaper Man.
