It was disappointing. Which is a shame, because it does look like some effort was put into it. |

At 10:00 PM EST the first part of the movie/miniseries version of Terry Pratchett's Hogfather will be on Hallmark Movie Channel (channel 187 on DishNetwork). Tomorrow night at 8:00 PM EST the whole thing will be on. I still haven't seen it, so I'm excited. I heard it wasn't that good compared to the book, so I've been purposefully holding off on reading the book until I've seen the movie, so I won't be disappointed. |

I had recorded this to watch later but, based on what I've read so far.. I think not! |

I'm about to watch the second part tonight. So far, I'd say it's 'decent'. Certain things I like, such as the choice of actor for Mustrum Ridcully; that's exactly who I'd imagined him as, believe it or not. The actor cast for Nobby is just terrible though. He's too obviously human; Nobby has to carry a paper saying he's probably human. |

This was actually the most terrible piece of TV I'd ever tried to watch ever. Here in the UK it was broadcast at Christmas I think... so incredibly bad. |

Are you a Discworld fan, Xei? |
|
Paul Kidby's illustrations are almost so definitive in how I picture the Discworld that any adaptations on film that deviate from that tend to lose me. |
|
According to Terry Pratchett, he's always imagined Vimes to look like Pete Postlethwaite (the big-game hunter guide in The Lost World). After reading Night Watch, I think that is a more fitting portrayal than Kidby's more Clint Eastwood/Bruce Willis depiction. |

I liked the movie. It didn;t quite do the book justice, but it was still a pretty good movie in its own right. some of it, such as the lack of an outdoors to the Tooth Fairy's home, and a few of the characters (Arg! Nobby looks nothing like a monk- dwa- whatever he isn;t), but it was fun to watch. Still waiting for Colour of Magic to air in the U.S. |
