Did My Annual Hogfather ReWatch
Here's the whole thing. It's best Christmas special ever. Here's the theme summed up at the end as a trailer. It's fucking fantastic

the only Discworld adaptation I like is Going Postal, fite me
death looks weird in this one
-
Definitely the one I'm most apt to show other people, but I like The Color of Magic for myself.

Wyrd Sisters is my problematic fave. The voices and designs have permanently altered how I imagine the characters. Unfortunately, like most Discworld adaptations, the pacing is ludicrous and the dialog is too faithful to the book, to the point where you can't actually follow what's going on unless you already know the story.

Ingots take my Christmas specials where I can get em

Love the hogfather. They did teatime almost like I imagined him when I read it.
-
Apparently the actor was most inspred by Johnny Depp as willy Wonka. That says stuff about Johnny.

Such a good adaptation..
Unlike The Watch -_-
Don't get me started on that one.

The recent series adaptation? I loved that one, I don't get why people get so mad about it. I really don't care for perfect fidelity of the material if it does interesting stuff with it tbh.

I really liked the bizarre setting they did, Fantasy London becomes A Medieval Sci fi city in the south african desert? Fantastic. Vimes running around dressed like a pirate with smoky eyeshadow? Great! I think though the whole story and writing was a mistake. Like even if you divorce it entirely from Discworld (which they should have done) its just not a very well written story.

I find the guy playing Teatime to be very annoying in his portrayal. I love the woman playing Susan she nails it. I much prefer the Going Postal special but I think it's just a better story in general.

If anyone has mid day Atlantic off in Christmas I'll cytube while waiting for the extended family dinner. Or really late Christmas night. I'm going straight from my parents to my place to drop off my gifts and then blasting off downtown for Nosferstu opening night. I'm fighting the war on Christmas on the side of Hogswatch!

thanks for the rec, threw this on!
edit: It's so good!!

Love that movie. And it's very different from my Christmas Eve tradition of watching the Always Sunny episode where Charlie bites Santa.

I think we're going to have to agree to disagree. (But I do think Hogfather is a close second.)
This will always be my favorite because Michael Caine's performance is dead serious while the rest of the movie is Muppets.
