I was watching The Colour of Magic on DVD the other day and fell asleep. It's only the second time I've watched it. I didn't bother with part 2.

If you wait until the January sales, you might get it a bit cheaper.

I don't tend to buy many things full price, wait till till sales most of the time, I do. Last thing I bought full price was Scott Pilgrim soundtrack, as I had to have it while it was still in the cinema!

The only one i actually liked was Going Postal so probably get that when it goes down a little . Like Tony I dozed off during the colour of magic.

Did anybody else prefer the animated films; Soul Music and Wyrd Sisters?

 

[Bouncy Castle]

I've got them.

I think that Terry's work is much better suited to cartoonisation than live action.

 

[Tonyblack]

I loved the extra joke in Soul Music that wasn't in the book.

The Band are in Quirm, which is famous for its cheese. Buddy says "we're more popular than cheeses" and causes a riot. This is a reference to John Lennon's comments about the Beatles being "More popular than Jesus" while they were touring America. It didn't go down well.

 

[Bouncy Castle]

There were lots of references in the book to bands, and I still can't get some of them!!

It took me bloody ages to work out Elvish, too!

You could always check out the Annotations on L-Space.org.

Yes, I really liked them. I think Death is great and who but Christopher Lee could voice him? Jugula

 

[DaveC]

I now have them all but the 2 disc versions of each, not this box set.

Finished Going Postal today.

Can't make up my mind which I like best.

Susan was awesome, Hogafather in general I liked a lot, Colour of Magic was good too, better than I expected , but Going Postal didn't quite live up to my expectations and I can't work out why... It was good and Claire Foy and Richard Coyle were great, I loved the touches of Angua too. 8)

opposite of what i though to be honest . I saw going postal as the stronger of the three and found Colour of magic dissapointing .

Maybe it was the lack of cat, and I really didn't like how they did Mr Gryle, the banshee, I thought he should be more in the shadows for a bit then be revealed but he was suddenly there...

despite being a huge League of Gentlemen fan, I wasn't impressed with Steve Pemberton as Drumknott.

BTW - am currently watching the 2nd DVD of extras and it is growing on me more

 

[pip]

The extras are quite good on all the dvds
