Every second that Jeffery Combs is not in frame is a second of the movie wasted.

Listen, I just read a fanfiction that had a dwarf version of Nails, Hair, Hips, Heels, and I am pleading to people with artistic abilities to draw a dwarf (probably Cheery, let's be honest) in the style of Todrick Hall's album cover.
Don't make me do it myself. It won't end well.

When talking about Discworld adaptations, which ones are "connected" to the others and which ones are not? What I mean is that when watching the adaptations, there are at least four that are connected to each other, aren't there?
You have Wyrd Sisters and Soul Music connecting because of the (sometimes crap) animation and Christopher Lee's version of Death.
But then Christopher Lee also reprised his role as Death for the Colour of Magic. So in my mind, that connects to the animated films.
And THEN for Hogfather, the design/costume for Death is the same as for The Colour of Magic, even though he was not voiced by Lee. It's also the second story involving Susan, which ties to Soul Music since that was the first story that involved her. Again, that makes me think they're all connected.
Obviously The Watch TV series was doing it's own thing, but what About Going Postal? Would that fit into the other films? Vetinari was played by Charles Dance instead of Jeremy Irons, and Death doesn't appear at all. My brain is kind of using him as the factor that ties these all together, so I would say no.
Lastly, what about the new The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents? I haven't seen it yet, but I know that it is 3d animated instead of 2d.
Where are the lines drawn!!!
(Listen, I know they all technically connect because they are all from the same source material, but I feel that my point still stands. Also, I don't want to finish another rant I had planned, and was trying to watch The Colour of Magic earlier which made me think of this again.)

Who needs fancy drawing softwares with things like "layers" and "choices" when Samsung Notes has a drawing feature?
(Its a not-so-quick and not-so-great sketch of Sam Vimes.)

I just finished watching Muppet Mayhem and it was alright. One important question though. How are you going to have episode 8 be called "Virtual Insanity", and not have Dr. Teeth with one of his stupid/amazing tophats:
Doing one of the most meme-able parts of the song:

Everytime he writes something like this, this is the first thing I think of. I think my brain is rotting out of my head.
Hi! I was wondering, is there a reason why a release date for Good Omens 2 still hasn't been announced? And could you share that reason if you are at liberty to do so?
Yes. There is a reason. It hasn't been announced because we haven't announced it yet. That is the reason it hasn't been announced. Not only have we not told you the exact date it's coming out, we haven't even told you the month. All we've told you is Summer. So you will have to do some waiting until you find out more.
Also, for the puzzled, baffled, curious, or confused, the trailer hasn't been released because we haven't released it yet.

I'm seeing a lot about how awesome the character Trent Crimm is and how James Lance is killing it at his job. May I point you to toward the 2021 The Canterville Ghost miniseries? Sure, it's a more childish show and there were some, shall we say, liberties taken with the original source material. Also, Lance's American accent is definitely something to behold. It's like Keanu Reeves British accent in the 1992 Bram Stoker's Dracula, only reversed. However, his character is super adorable and avoids confrontation like this:
I mean, come on!
Just my humble opinion. (Sorry for the shit quality)

While season 4 isn't available yet where I am, I have been exposed to every spoiler known to man. Obviously I'm not much of an artist, but I am a woman with a dream. A dream that I will one day soon see the captain as a fairy godmother.

The CBS version of Ghosts is yet another example of why we Americans can't have nice things. In so many ways, it is a cheap knock off of the BBC version. The plot points for the majority of the episodes I have seen so far have been directly lifted from BBC, but the humor has been beaten to death and left in a ditch. It's awful. However, it doesn't have to be that way. There are parts of the show that are original, and those are the best episodes. Let's begin.
To start with, all of the characters are direct rip offs of the BBC Ghosts. Off the top of my head, we have Isaac for The Captain, Hetty for Fanny, Alberta for Kitty, Trevor for Julian, Thor for Robin, Pete for Pat, and so on. This would be fine if there was any kind of chemistry between the characters/actors, but there isn't. I am of the belief that no matter how bad something is, you should never blame the actors. The main BBC Ghosts cast have been working with each other for YEARS, so obviously everything feels more geniune. But the jokes are so much more snappy and well delivered in the British version. I don't know if that is British versus American humor, or what. Even so, that doesn't extend to the blatant ripping off of so many episodes.
All of that being said, please let me tell you what I do like about the CBS version of Ghosts. Nothing is original until episode 9, titled Alberta's Fan. The episode is about a freaky fan of Alberta who wants to stay on the house and look at her stuff. At first, everything seems normal. He presents himself as an historian writing about her before it is revealed he is just a wierdo with her faced tattooed on his back and her toenail in a vial. I think it shows the potential of the show when it goes for original story lines. The humor is better now that it wasn't a badly told pre-existing joke. The fact that Alberta's family is from Tulsa may have contributed to me liking it. :)
However, the very next episode seems to go back to plagerising the original series, although it is a bit more creative and palatable than before. Long story short, Jay gets possessed by Hetty, who uses his body to experience life again. While original in the possession area, it reminded me of Redding Weddy, where Fanny is attracted Mike and struggles to come to terms for it. Strangely enough, Oklahoma is mentioned again for some reason.
One last thing before the final thoughts. The Plague ghosts versus the Cholera ghosts. I was showing my friend (@pokegirl0238) the BBC version, and she loved how chill the Plague Ghosts were. They are everything the Ghosts upstairs are not (not to mention they are played by the same actors). I just don't get that same dynamic with the Colera victims, which is fine. I have just been preaching and screeching about originality after all.
Final Thoughts:
I like that Isaac can be open about being gay. I think it's so cute that he's in a relationship with that British officer (can't remember his name sorry). I just know that if The Captain were to ever admit it and know that there is nothing to be ashamed of and that the people he cares for accept him, he will move on (get sucked off). There are opportunities for these American characters because they are so new. They don't have to stay as copies. They can have lives. But the writers can't seem to understand that. At least, not from what I have seen.
(I hope it's okay I've used these images)
