when Colour of Magic(and by extension Light Fantastic) was finally adapted for television, I was so happy that my literary hero, Sir Terry Pratchett, was finally getting the mainstream appeal that seemed to allude him.
So like a fool suffering from the sickness that is common sense, i wait for Equal Rites to be made!
But instead of book number Three, Sky adapted book THIRTY-THREE!-Going Postal
No not the film by Uwe Boll, but this was just as bad!
Here was the show that no-one wanted, an adaption of the Discworld's red head step-child, a boring book about the resurrection of the post office!
No, Not That! the entire premise was "What did people collect before stamps existed?" That's it!
So this is my 300th post! A "what if?" post! we peer into the omniscope as we discover...
10 DISCWORLD ADAPTIONS, THAT WOULD HAVE BEING BETTER THAN GOING POSTAL!
NUMBER 10
WITCHES ABROAD-ANIMATED BY A DISNEY RIVAL
As mentioned in my last post, Witches Abroad is about Tourism and Fairy tales and the villain of the piece is has turned a swampy tourist trap into a fairytale land where everyone is happy...under penalty of Death! Now doesn't that sound like a certain conglomerate found by a Nazi sympathizer with a Rat for a mascot?
NUMBER 9
A FILM OF THE AMAZING MAURICE
It all ready killed Harry Potter on the black and white, what if it could do that again on the silver screen, Not live action though, some of the Ratcather scenes were a bit...descriptive!
NUMBER 8
A "SUSAN" TV SERIES
Keep it centred around The events of Soul Music and Theif of time, and if succesful, original adventures!
NUMBER 7
THUD!
An Honourable Mention from the last one or at least an unofficial one! Terry's only real Politically charged Novel, The anniversary of The Discs Most bloody battle between the trolls and the Dwarves is near and tensions between the two species is at breaking point, As The Elections for Dwarf Low King and rumours of a prophesied Diamond Troll are the least of the worries for Tough Copper Sam Vimes, who is now a Lord and a father to young boy and to top off his new responsibilities, a living shadow has possessed him!
NUMBER 6
A DISCWORLD MMORPG!
LICENSE TO PRINT MONEY!
NUMBER 5
SKY TO RESUME MAKING DISCWORLD SHOWS BUT IN FUCKING CANON!
DITTO!
NUMBER 4
MOVING PICTURES AS A REUNION OF THE STARS OF HARRY POTTER
I See no-one else when it comes to making the spoof of the Golden Age of Cinema becoming the tool to summon Cthulhu. Maybe it's because Ponder was drawn like a Middle Age Harry Potter, maybe it's because Victor and Thilda are Redheads, but just the idea of Gring being the lead and Radcliffe being his sidekick would be fun to see!
NUMBER 3
WEE FREE MEN BY STUDIO GHILBI
Pratchett made very complex and strong female characters. Studio Ghilbi is also famous for female Protagonists, especially teenage ones. The Thought of Tiffany, the Feegle and the witches rendered into anime, oh it's a dream I wish Would come though!
NUMBER 2
DISCWORLD THE WESTEND MUSICAL
There is a companion guide called the Music Of Discworld...plus play versions of most of his novels...but tow and two have not being put together...YET!
AND MY NUMBER ONE DISCWORLD ADAPTION THAT HASN'T BEING MADE BUT WOULD HAVE BEING BETTER THAN GOING FUCKING POSTAL IS...
A BIOPIC OF THE MAN HIMSELF!
I don;t know who would play Sir Terry, but his lasting legacy to fight Deforestation and Alzheimer's Disease would be inspirational.
WELL THAT'S IT FOR THIS YEAR!
This has being my last Post of 2015!
