Susan is best girl.
Used to have this on VHS years ago. I never saw the Wyrd Sisters adaptation that went with it though.
>Disney's Mort will never happen
Pratchett's work would deserve at least one decent adaptation, dammit!
>>82378982
>They wanted to tone the death theme down
Nah it's better this way.
But I'd have liked a Guards! Guards! Adaptation
>>82378982
It's for the best.
Hey they recently re-confirmed the Watch series is still in production. I have hopes for that. Also Terry left a letter to Neil Gaiman telling him to do a Good Omens adaptation.
What Discworld book would make the best movie? And who should do it? Guards! Guards!? Night Watch would be great. Too bad you need to understand Sam's rise from the previous books to really get the most out of it though.
>>82379124
>No matter how good of an adaptation we get in the future, Death will never again be played by Christopher Lee

It's like someone wished on a god damned monkey's paw or something.
>>82378611
Susan is not Angua, though.
>>82378872
It's on Youtube.
>>82380961
Moving Pictures is about movies, so I guess that.
>>82380961
Men At Arms
Just got done re-reading it. Feels like a movie every time.
>>82381060
Vimes turned into Judge Dredd as soon as he got a gonne in his hand.
>>82381039
>A Moving Picture based on Moving Pictures
No thanks I don't want creatures from the dungeon dimensions coming out of the screen thank you very much. Speaking of that book though I quite liked Victor and thought it was a shame we never saw him again.
>>82381060
>>82381077
I think this is probably the story with the most mainstream appeal yeah. Though my personal favorite Vimes moment was when he killed the werewolf in The Fifth Elephant.
>>82381077
Still adore Detritus and Cuddy palling around town together on duty. I would expect Detritus' experience in the Future Pork cooler would be something a la 2010 Space Odyssey's "IT'S FULL OF STARS".
>>82381112
>shame we never saw him again
It's not like life is very exciting for him, considering his new job.
>>82381138
Detritus reminded me of Maskerade.
>city watch goes undercover in the opera
>count De Tritus and count De Nobbes
>>82381112
>that Knobs
IS IT A MONKEY?
Why no animated feature of Eric yet?
>>82381178
He has a certificate that proves he's a human. seems legit.
>>82381227
I heard there's a werewolf in the city watch, you know.
>>82378982
>reminder that /lit/ danced on his grave
>>82381256
And no vampire? WTF.
>>82381268
/lit/ doesn't like anything.
>>82381275
Now that I think about it that naked mud-fight between them in Thud! might be great to see.
>>82381268
Does /lit/ hate fun or something?
Discworld isn't hard to read, but that's what makes it so enjoyable and hard to put down.
>>82381193
>New guy in charge of hell takes it from a place of medieval torture and transforms it into an office environment and everyone thinks it's worse.
>Sisyphus needs to hear a health and safety seminar whenever he starts rolling his boulder up the hill now and even the demon whose in charge of his torture feels bad for him.
>One torture is just a demon showing people pictures from his vacation enthusiastically
loved that.
>>82381295
>>82381300
I refuse to believe /lit/ dislikes Discworld. I mean it isn't high literature, even Pratchett said so. But they're just so fun to read. Plus he put in Blues Brothers references in a fantasy series. How can you not love that?
What did they do to dance on his grave?
>>82381346
>I refuse to believe /lit/ dislikes Discworld
Last time I tried talking about it there, I got called a shill. /lit/ is the most elitist and no-fun-allowed board on 4chan.
What do people think is the best current adaptation of Discworld? I'm reading through the whole series for the first time right now and watching the adaptations as I go. About to finish reading Going Postal do that's next on my watch list.
>>82381364
I still think /a/ holds that title
>>82381295
Angua is pretty hot. Not even a furry.
>>82381417
>best current adaptation
Going Postal, actually.
>I still think /a/ holds that title
I disagree, I can actually enjoy myself there.
>>82381028
But that's not how you write Adora Belle
>>82381544
>chain smoker
No thank you.
>>82381557
She cut the habit by Raising Steam...I think.
>>82381028
>wanting a girl to smell like wet dog
>>82381591
Haven't read it yet, so as far as I'm concerned, she's a smoker. On the other hand, she's also very boner-inducing.
>>82381597
I've got a dog so the smell has long since stopped bothering me.
>>82381346
/lit/ hates genre literature with a passion and they complained that all the normies starting coming to their board after he died.
>>82381417
The first Discworld "installment" I knew about was the second video game and it is still a pretty good condensation of the early books or rather of the time when the early books started to transition into the style he had later on.
How does /co/ feel about the Discworld boardgames? I personally think that the Ahnk-Morpork and Witches games are good, but the two manufactured by Backspindle take some getting used to.
>>82381544
True best taste coming through
Myria LeJean
>that description of her practically orgasming just from eating a piece of dry toast
>>82381671
The latest one is Clacks right? How's that one?
>>82381728
That the Auditor turned human?
>>82381728
>Suicide by chocolate
She had good taste until the end.
Btw that was the last appearance of the Auditors, right?
>>82381775
Yes.
>>82381744
It's good if DON'T play the kiddie version, trust me, the "kid-friendly" rules for Backspindle products are actually harder to work with that the full ruleset...mainly because they leave out things you need to make the game playable.
>>82381751
Yeah. All human sensations of pleasure overload her mind. Even the slightest sensation of her taste buds puts her mind in a state of pure bliss that threatens to tear her body apart. God it was hot. Liked her interactions with Susan too.
>>82381775
Best way to go
>>82381775
as an antagonist, at least. I think they had a few cameos here and there after that
This thread made me realize just how many great girls are in Discworld.
Lady Margolotta is cute too.
>>82381907
But does she have something going on with Vetinari or not?
>>82381924
I hope so. Them playing a board game together long distance using the clacks was pretty cute.
>>82381544
>>82381597
>captain of the Watch my Monstrous Regiment
>superhuman strength and flexibility in bed
>dog tier loyalty to you
Angua>every other Discworld girl
>>82381981
I love the idea of a vampire girl who's into cute frilly things. Is there any other vampire girls like this in fiction?
>>82382188
But does she still want sex during full Moon? Because that might get weird.
>>82382217
If you're into that sort of thing, she wouldn't mind.
>>82382229
I think I'll just make do with the collar for my boners.
Why does Going Postal get talked up so much? I read it recently and thought it was one of the weakest books in the series
>>82382322
Well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
>>82382322
Yeah, I think the Mort and the later Guards series are actually the most powerful once.
>>82382189
I'm fairly sure there were a couple like that in the new World of Darkness books. Failing that, you could always play one!Which I might do, if I can ever get into a game that's not run by creepy weirdos.
>>82382322
because 1st movie after pratchett's death
>>82380961
Small Gods
Miyazaki production
Just imagine
>>82382547
What?
>>82382607
The Tiffany books always had a kind of Miyazaki-ish feel to me.
>>82382322
Going Postal and Making Money were great.
But Snuff and Raising Steam were... kinda sad for me. And I love Vimes.
God I hope the Watch series dares to do Nightwatch.
It'd be fucking amazing.
>>82382380
Well let's talk facts with some bonus opinions
The post office catching fire reads like it's the climax and the story could have ended at that point. The real climax is so drawn out and the way in which it's presented makes it lack any punch
Reacher has almost no presence in Moist's story and their rivalry comes off as forced
A few ideas and threads are brought up briefly and then dropped without being explored further (letters having their own will, moist becoming an avatar, the secret mail order). The book just has so many different ideas and asides that are entertaining but don't serve the plot and leave it feeling bloated and messy.
Now that we are living in the era of lesbians I think a Monstrous regiment adaptation is in order.
>>82382843
>we are living in the era of lesbian
Lesbians is beyond cliché now, no self-respecting medium would do that shit at this point.
>>82382739
The Watch series will be original stories, pretty sure.
I wish Terry wasn't afraid to draw leading women as silly.
>>82382977
>>82382843
Monstrous Regiment barely even has any lesbians in it, does it?
The real question is who'd play Jackrum.
>>82383026
I concur!
>>82383139
Nanny was never leading, Granny, Susan, Polly, and Tiffany were leading. And even among supporting women Nanny was an oddity compared to Sybil, Angua, Magrat, and Adora. The only time Terry wrote women as silly was in Monstrous Regiment when he wrote them as men.
>>82382322
I'm reading it now and I disagree. I find new discworld protagonists usually need time to reach their stride but Moist did it almost instantly.
>>82382430
Yeah good luck doing that. Thanks for the reading recommendation though
>>82382607
>>82382632
Well now I'm off to watch Kiki's Delivery Service
>>82382705
I'm afraid to read the Shepherd's Crown. I've heard it's something he never really finished and people just pieced it together after he died. And I don't want there to be a last Discworld book.
>>82381004
As much as I love Christopher Lee, I think the audiobook narrator does an INCREDIBLE Death. Big and loud and yet still monotone.
>>82383029Rosie O'Donnell
>>82384347
You probably mean Nigel Plainer
>>82384204
Moist is definitely the best part of Going Postal
>>82384334
I won't lie it's not one of his better works, you can clearly see how his illness is affecting him throughout the entire book.
It does however bring closure to the series and it's not a bad book.
>>82384347
I'll have to check them out. Not really into audiobooks personally so I haven't heard it.
>>82384392
Nigel Plainer, that's the name. I've been using my audible.com credits on Discworld books and he's an absolute delight. Every character he voices is wonderful. I love his Ridcully especially.
>>82384423
I've got it on my shelf. I just have got to stop being a pussy and read it.
>>82383010
I like the idea of a serial detective series using the Watch cast. One thing I liked about Terry is he wasn't prudish about adaptations of his work. He liked seeing people do their own interpretations of it as long as they respected the source material.
I hope I'm not alone in finding Death absolutely adorable. Reaper Man convinced me he'd be terrific husbando material.
>>82384474
You might cry like a bitch, a big theme of the book is the transition of the old ending and the new taking it's place.
>>82384760
shit
>>82384569
True that
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bG7buZJFLCE
>>82381268
I'm still mad that we had to host the memorial thread for his death because /lit/ is so full of assholes.
>>82381300
/lit/ is just /v/ on a different media. Though they seem worst cause their dickishness seems genuine.
>>82386433
/tg/'s went on for days.
>>82381004
You linked to Ian Richardson voicing death there though, Anon. Christopher lee voiced death the other adaptations.
Do not under any circumstances read Terry Pratchett's collection of non-fiction material it is the saddest thing ever.
>>82387234
Nation was great
>>82384569
Death is honestly the best character in the series.
>>82387803
His decisive line in Moving Pictures was awesome.
>YOU BELONG DEAD.
>>82387803
It's a constant tossup for me between Death and Vimes. I'm fairly new to the series, is there any book where the two of them work together? I know Death shows up regularly throughout the series, but is there any particular book where they are the protagonists together?
>>82387888
>IT SEEMS YOU ARE HAVING A NEAR-DEATH-EXPERIENCE. WHICH MEANS, UNFORTUNATELY, I MUST HAVE A NEAR-VIMES-EXPERIENCE.
>>82387888
Not really but they do interact briefly.
>>82381625
Raising Steam honestly isn't very good. The story just meanders along introducing new ideas without a real point before the actual conflict is introduced two-thirds in, at which point the protagonists face no opposition and achieve all of their goals without issue. The plot somehow feels bloated and threadbare at the same time. If you do want to read it I would recommend not making it the last book you read in the series.
>>82388161
I think that book was just Pratchett's attempt to make sure Discworld was heading into the 20th century while he still could.
>>82388503
Surely you mean Century of the Fruitbat, anon.
>>82388161
Yep, it felt like this.
To be honest I would have been happy if I shall wear midnight were the last book, it felt more like a closure than The shepherd's crown was.
I was writing my thesis about Death when he passed away. Felt bad, man.
>>82384474
Fuck, I have the exact same problem and forgot about it right until now.
>>82387803
It's a close race. Vimes and Weatherwax can't be easily counted out.
>>82382739
Night Watch will never get the adaptation it deserves. I don't think it's possible.
>>82383029
When I first read the book I imagined them actually being played by men until they revealed they were women and then a woman would play them from then on.
This got really funny whenBenedicta revealed herself near the end of the book.
