Aug. 15th, 2010 01:14I watched the Going Postal two-parter at
lanjelin's today. It was great! This is one of my favorite Discworld books and it really worked as a movie.

I really think these Discworld filmings get better and better (though the basis for the script is unfortunately weaker in Color of Magic/The Light Fantastic). And the actors were spot on! Moist von Lipwig, Adore Belle Dearhart, Reacher Gilt (played by the actor who did Hercule Poirot, much to the amusement of my fellow viewers). And, and! "Junior" Postman Groat was played by Manuel! From Fawlty Towers, good god! And Sergeant Angua, rowr! *fans self*
Ankh-Morpork looked spectacular and most of the changes from the book worked very well. I only miss the bit with Vetinari shining at the very end, and the tiny little Vimes scene. Other than that, a v. good adaption. I hope they continue like this
