I think I read in an interview once that Terry Pratchett always makes sure that he is still to some degree involved in the proceedings so as to prevent things from getting out of hand and too outrageously far away from canon - do you know anything about that? That might explain the lack of suck.

Rincewind - oh, I'm another one. I dislike him as a character and the books which feature him also tend to be my least favourites. I'm a little torn on Hogfather because I adore Susan, but it's certainly not one in a big favourite of mine and I didn't really understand why they adapted this book from the middle of a plot - apart from the appeal of having a Christmas movie, that is. So far, I think I'm happy with the adaptations - no books I really cared about, so they wouldn't upset me too much if they got it wrong, but at the same time I'm sad that we don't get to have an adaptation of the Tiffany books or the Witches' series.

I'm torn on that issue - I'm not quite sure if part of the reason why I enjoyed the adaptations so far was precisely that I didn't care much about the books in question, and I'm wondering if that would change if they'd decided to make a Witch movie. I'd love to see that, but at the same time, if I am weary of different Vetinaris that's nothing compared to what my views on any Granny Weatherwax might be. Oh, but I'd love to see Feegle. Especially live-action Feegle. Sigh.
