I have now seen the Hogfather, and have to agree it was pretty good. However, I have to ask, how do Pratchett fans generally feel about turning his books into films? I for one have mixed feelings, as his books dealing with the discworld witches are my FAVOURITE fantasy books, and Granny Weatherwax may be closer to my heart than just about any fantasy character. I have a very SPECIFIC image of what she would be like, and would be so scared of being dissapointed in a film version of one of his books. I would almost rather not see them... *Ergh*

Even if you have a speciphic idea of how the carricters look you should wach the movie anywhays if only to see how badly they screwed up the plot and carricters.

I see your point, its probably best not to take it so hard. But it would just be so disappointing to see...I'm too sensitive sometimes...{:(

Terry Pratchett is THE G O D (he'd beat all the other gods including Offler and the green-eyed lady and the Faith)
and Neil Gaiman rocks

Good Omens is hands down the funniest book I have ever read.

[Sonia]

I am reading Good Omens right now! Again! lol.

I loveeeeee Terry Pratchett. Did you hear he is sick? It's dreadful..

[Tricia]

My Mom owns all of his books. I've only read a few, but I must say I loved them all! =D

YES! Terry Pratchett is AWESOME. Love Discworld: The Fifth Elephant.

When it comes to the movies (Live action or animated) I think a lot of fans are forgiving of characters on screen - esp. those in Europe where there are numerous stage adaptations. I think that if you get the "tone" right you can overlook the characters appearance. That would be MOST true with The Colour of Magic movie. Rincewind is played by the same actor that played Albert. I've always pictured Rincewind kinda like Eric Idle from Monty Python days. BUT if he captures the "spirit" of Rincewind- it's all good!
But to answer the official question:
I adore Pratchett, Gaiman and all they have done.
I even read the Science of Discworld books(1,2, and 3!) that Pratchett wrote with Ian Stewart and Jack Cohen. Three of the best science books ever!
