Snow Cone Capone posted:My gripe with her is less gender than age. Most of Vetinari's appearances in Night Watch are as a teenage Assassin trainee. I believe present Vetinari only really appears in a couple of dialogue scenes with Vimes? (I definitely remember Vimes getting mad that Vetinari is wearing the lilac sprig). I remember Vetinari doing them a massive solid I the end, after Vimes gets Carcer

Rand Brittain posted:So, is it just me, or did it suddenly become impossible to ever adapt the Watch books? A core tenet of the Watch books is that cops are bastards so... I probably wouldn't adapt them NOW, mind, but it doesn't have to be forever I don't think

Jedit posted:But the Night Watch are only good because at first they have no power, and later because of Vimes. As soon as Fred Colon gets a sniff of authority he becomes a villain - albeit a very ineffectual one. You could make Night Watch (the book) into a thing now I feel, with some liberties. Vimes as the idealistic officer who sees how much the Watch are bastards, and Keel as the cop who's learned from that and is... Well, a different sort of bastard. Or there could be things with Thud!, although the very much racial tension in that would need to be very carefully handled.

Phenotype posted:Vimes looks pretty good, I thought they really nailed the eternally rumpled look he's got in the books. Carrot is not bad either, although the actor has that Nordic look about him when I've always pictured Carrot as more square-jawed American-looking. The picture in the last page with Carrot, Leonard, and Rincewind makes me think that John Cena would be great casting for Carrot. Dwayne Johnson too, but I love him in everything.

BurgerQuest posted:Vorbis is named after a Discworld character Exquisitor Vorbis in Small Gods by Sir Terry Pratchett. The Ogg format, however, is not named after Nanny Ogg, another Discworld character; the name is in fact derived from ogging, jargon that arose in the computer game Netrek.[11] Oh huh, I thought he'd named both characters after the format for some reason. Neat little tidbit. Also Terry was the absolute nerd king, wasn't he?

That's probably an actual Discworld book from a universe just slightly off from ours, yeah
