KunoNoOni: Why are there no movies about Discworld?
avatar
Matruchus: But there are:

- Hogfather: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0765458/?ref_=nv_sr_1
- The Colour of Magic: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1079959/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
I believe The Colour of Magic movie also covered The Light Fantastic.

On top of that there's also Wyrd Sisters and Soul Music.

CarrionCrow: I just imagine them singing that with a mouth that's covered in blood in between absentmindedly gnawing on the arm they just hacksawed off of someone who's still alive, chained to a table and screaming.

Crewdroog: oh, you too?
Well, I kinda get the general image of a rabid serial killer wearing the outfit whenever I see that, but I definitely get that image when the song's going.

DeMignon: Stick with the books, the movies are mediocre.
I wouldn't say so. The books are better though.

Now SB... don't let me discourage you, you're doing a helluva job, but let's see how long until you break when you realise that, - unlike me, who actually agrees with you in all levels - most people just won't read your post & will reply with a "yeah, but i dot wanna rejunal movies".

GhostwriterDoF: What? We all read every word of skeletonbow's words!

Plus we read everything everyone writes here too... and we remember things people say! :D
... and do!
I'm talking about the people who are against everything for no reason other than to make lots of noise.

You know they're out there. To tell you the truth, I haven't been in these forums long enough to know if there are many, but everywhere else, there are many. Many.

Ragnarblackmane: There are! Color of Magic, Hogfather, and Going Postal all live-action, and some stuff animated.
I have yet to see Going Postal, and was a little bit disappointed with Colour of Magic*, but Hogfather was wonderful in every day. Not that it could have anything to do with Death being one of my favorite characters, no, not at all..... *cough*

* It was quite well done, although I'm sad they left out the Temple of Bel-Shamharoth, as that's one of my favorite parts of the two books. My only real complaint is that I feel they miscast Rincewind: David Jason is a good actor, but he just... isn't Rincewind. :/ Tim Curry as Trymon was brilliant, however.

Crewdroog: aw crap.
Ok, maybe we don't remember everything... ;)
Wow, Thank you :)
Ladies and gentlemen this foul body cries for sleep, if anyone could cover me at banner saga would be great (have several keys still left e.g. LOG)
Thanks a lot and continue the madness

well really, that is the only way the whole thing makes any kind of sense. :)

Ixamyakxim: I have a new reason to love Insomnia - I never, EVER realized that "AVGN" was "Angry Video Game Nerd." Yes, you can call me an idiot.

Funny part. This is the second time this has happened to me.
Ok, I will. But are you sure it won't hurt your feelings?

I promise I won't mind.
How long has Age of Wonders 3 been up there?

KunoNoOni:
There is also Terry Pratchett's Discworld Collection containing Wyrd Sisters and Soul Music animated videos.
