      Man, I generally object to film adaptations of books because they never get it right, but I would so love to see him taking control of the robot army in Interesting Times get put to film.

      And he invented Vegemite!

        I recently watch the Amazing Maurice adaptation, and that wasn’t bad. They skipped some of the piper stuff and everything about the green wobbly bit, but it was a good time overall.

        I would have no objection to seeing a good live action or animated Mad Hamish either, I love that guy.

          The adaptations of Hogfather and Going Postal were actually pretty good too. David Jason was sorely miscast as Rincewind, though. And Twoflower was written as a parody Japanese tourist, not American.

          I recall there was a Cohen The Barbarian short film put out some years ago that showed promise for a film adaptation of The Silver Horde that sadly never happened.

            I’ve seen Hogfather twice, but I didn’t know there was a Going Postal adaptation, I will have to seek that out!
