The thing is, everybody says, "Yippee! They're making a movie/TV series!"

But when it comes out, everybody goes, "Useles! Not a bit like the book!"

I have never said that Pooh. Books are not movies. Simple as that. Books have constraints and movies have constraints. AND both have advantages over each other as well. I can't handle the book/movie argument. If you are someone who can't stand books being made over then don't watch.

And seriously, if it introduces someone TO the book or author then good.

I could never get into LOTR. But I watched the movies. Now I can talk to people who love the books.... and not the aguement about the differences, but join in conversations I may not have had before.

Wahey! Terry Jones is in on it! Great. I await this with more than rabid interest!

Notice pre orders were being taken for 'snuff' on amazon.

I've got nothing against TP books being turned into movies. The only one I've seen is COM, which I didn't think was much cop. Never seen Hogfather, Soul Music, Going Postal etc. Are they any good?

I have seen Hogfather, COM and Going Postal.. liked them but I watched them as what they were.... referencing DW. Thought Going Postal was better than the other two. But I thought Hogfather was darker than GP.... which was an aspect I liked. See I love Death and I think the only way I would see him the same way I see him is full CGI.

I don't think anyone could ever satisfy a DW fan on every single character. You only have to look at the DW art to see that we see the characters differently.

It would be nice if a DW movie had the effects and the budget of the LOTR trilogy

Watch this:

and tell me you don't agree the production company should actually pay those who made it to use the sequence (adjusted of course)
