New Year's Resolution: Marathon all of the Discworld series by this time next year. Drink a sherry in Pratchett's memory, and then one for Christopher Lee (Who will always be the voice of Death to me).

Rest well, you two. You made my hardest years worth living through :unsmith:

Hmmm...
It's a shame we might never have a proper film adaptation of a Discworld novel, and that we'll never have a proper Death coming through every surround sound speaker in the building. Especially since Atmos is now a thing.

“All right," said Susan. "I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need... fantasies to make life bearable."

REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.

"Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little—"

YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.

"So we can believe the big ones?"

YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.

"They're not the same at all!"

YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET—Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME...SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.

"Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what's the point—"

MY POINT EXACTLY.”

Rest in peace. Pterry.

I liked the Hogfather adaptation, but it wasn't the same without CHRISTOPHER LEE voicing Death. Incidentally if you've seen the cartoons, turns out there's a full-length version of that wonderful opening theme :allears:.

The first 200 pages of Hogfather is amazing. It sort of falls apart in the second half but still a good read.

I really liked it too. I did not like the cartoons, however.

Going Postal's live action adaptation was pretty decent too, imo. Charles Dance, Tywin Lannester in GoT, is fantastic as Vetinari.

Charles Dance was a perfect Vetinari, save for having ginger hair instead of black, and I hope he reprises the role for the Guards, Guards! series.
