From the department for sporting behaviour:
People are putting on their game faces and were scurrying through the streets in moderate football rags and with drinks, in order to go see their team fail in failure the game for third place. There is sound of party and chatting and distant TV football in our courtyards. But no vuvuzelas.-

I have Colour of Magic on my Netflix queue since its the book that pulled me into Discworld. Do you think its worth keeping it on there?

[yakalskovich]

Oh, it's not bad. I am quite enjoying it, despite some flaws.

I loathed Jeremy Irons as Vetinari. Such a poor piece of directing because he could have been very effetive. Charles Dance was infinitely better in Going Postal, though I have to admit that I dozed through most of it.

Yes, he was awful and got worse. Who could possibly have taken him seriously? Vetinari does have his flaws (if he didn't, he wouldn't be a Pratchett character), but this was just silly and demeaning.

I thought Jeremy Irons would be too good an actor to agree to follow such nonsensical directions. Didn't he read the books??
