I see a bunch of people so overworked they can only spend time with their loved ones through social media. That's not very funny.

Milk is great because I like to drink it in the morning so by mid afternoon I'll have farted all the farts for the day out of my butt, and therefore will not be farting for the remainder of the afternoon and evening. Feels great strolling about town with a pretty girl on one arm and a completely depleted fart meter. I think that's how farts work????

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.

Please tell me this isn't just some wishful thinking, and there is actually a City Watch series in production.

"In production" is kind of a loaded phrase. The last news on it was from late 2014; according to that shooting was supposed to start in 2015 but we're almost done with that and you'd think we'd have gotten casting choices. So at this point, who knows, but wheels were definitely in motion at one point.

Still better than nothing, but I suspected that was the stage it was at.

The best way to handle a Discworld movie would to just tell an new story in the setting. It's a big world, and there are a ton of threads you could pull in order to tease out an interesting plot. Although I'm not sure how well even the best comedy writer could reproduce Pratchett's sense of humor. In a perfect world, he'd have worked with someone to create an original screenplay, but that's no longer in the cards. Stupid mortality.

A huge amount of Pratchett's humor was written wordplay which is very difficult to get across in a movie. Like the Curious Squid:

quote:

The Curious Squid were very small, harmless, difficult to find and reckoned by connoisseurs to have the foulest taste of any creature in the world. This made them very much in demand in a certain kind of restaurant where highly skilled chefs made, with great care, dishes containing no trace of the squid whatsoever.

Bowie lives on in the hearts of everyone who can't shut up about David Bowie and how they oh my god have loved David Bowie foreeeeeveeeeeeeeeeer even though you've never heard them say the words David and Bowie in the same sentence, ever, despite knowing them for decades, not to mention the time they asked you who sang 'that song about the guy in space whose ship broke'.

No I'm not thinking of anyone in particular why do you ask?




"Ugh, these people care about a celebrity," the goon says. He leans sideways on his chair and farts a little. "As if they ever cared about this person before they died," he says to an empty room that will never know the presence of another member of the desired sex outside of an exchange of currency.

It was a dumb kids show but I don't know why the internet flipped its poo poo so hard about it. No one cared about Bugs Bunny for 20 years and suddenly turning them into super heroes was a crime against nature. I'm pretty sure this show was the first time I ever heard someone use the phrase "raping my childhood"

I only saw 1 or 2 episodes but it kind of worked. Roadrunner was their Flash, the Coyote was their Donatello, Taz was their hulk ect ect.

re: drunk revelers = Renaissance masterworks pics, am I wrong to assume that professional or even novice photographers recognize pleasing aesthetics in situ, or at least take several dozen photographs and select the ones that look the best and solicit those?

He means kids now who also loves Pokemon, and are in fact most of their audience.

See the thing is it came out 20 years ago and people who played it are well older than that. So either it's for idiot manchildren, which means nobody loving cares about it except idiot manchildren, or it's for kids and idiot manchildren can't stop derailing threads about it. Either way, the problem is idiot manchildren who won't shut up about a video game for children and/or idiot manchildren.

Have a rage comic for funny picture comic content which is still funnier than more stupid poo poo about pokemon.

When Borders did the closeout I managed to snag a BluRay of Planet Earth that had various audio tracks, including Attenborough. It came bundled with "Life" too, but that only had Oprah as an option. She wasn't terrible, but compared to Attenborough she may as well have been a bass guitar with strings made of screaming penis skins.

Reminder that The World At War series, after taking years of painstaking care to restore old footage and video from thirty+ year old video and original film stock, was then cropped to 16:9 from its 4:3 format, blindly, with no concern for appearances. Just straight up center -> crop to 1080. It looks as bad as you would imagine.
