BookmarkTavern This was such a fun read! I really loved the satire of Hollywood and making movies, how Dibbler kept going grander and grander with his plans. Also, the troll romance was unexpectedly delightful. And I can‘t believe it took me until the last hour or so for the book that I got the uncle Oswald reference was the Oscar statues. 😅😅😅 (edited) 2w

julesG @BookmarkTavern 😁 It took me some time to get the uncle Oswald reference, too. 2w

julesG Did I mention that the new recording of the audiobook is narrated by Jason Isaacs? If not, mea culpa. 2w

BarbaraJean I loved all the little references--especially Blown Away 😂 It was a lot of fun deciphering those references, and I'm sure I missed a lot of them. I also really liked the deeper themes about dreams, and Victor's comments on being the biggest version of yourself. I'd have liked more of that, but felt like it got eclipsed by all the clever references. @BookmarkTavern Yes! The troll romance! I think the trolls were my favorite characters in this one. 1w

willaful @BarbaraJean I also liked the troll romance, which reminded me of my marriage. 🤣 I really had to hit him with a brick!

I enjoyed all the jokes, but also feel the deeper themes weren't explored as much as I would've liked. It's interesting to see the beginnings of the Wizard changeover, and Ponder Stibbons. 6d

julesG @willaful You married a troll? 😜 Reading Unseen Academicals and then jumping right into Moving Pictures I was actually confused for a moment that Ponder was a student. 5d

willaful Well, he is very tall. 😂

Yes, the chronology was a bit confusing. I wonder what Rincewind was up to while all this was happening. Probably running away, somewhere. 5d

julesG @willaful chased by who-knows-what and Luggage 5d

willaful @julesG I'm still unclear about what happened to the Luggage's domestic life... 5d

julesG @willaful They lived happily ever after? And CMOT Dibbler sold the little ones off to the highest bidders. Or is that slavery? 5d

dariazeoli I‘m about halfway through the book so far, which is ok because the next book isn‘t available on Libby 🙁 This one started off slow for me, but it seems to be rounding a corner. I‘m enjoying the references to movies 6y

TheSpineView Gaspode was my favorite character. Leave it to Pratchett to poke fun at such an institution as Hollywood. I thought Pratchett was very clever in having the statue defeat the creatures from the Dungeon Dimensions. What do you think he was trying to say by doing that? 6y

gossamerchild I'm still working my way through this one, too. I've read it before, but it's been long enough that I don't remember much. Gaspode is the best! I'm also amusing myself by trying to guess the “real life“ references in the Holy Wood (spellcheck wants me to change that to Hollywood) universe. “Blown Away“ about killed me...too funny 😆 6y

TheSpineView @gossamerchild I know I chuckled my way through this one.🤣 6y

Laura317 I finished it awhile back. It wasn‘t my favorite, but I did like the talking dog. 6y

julesG @dariazeoli I haven't finished either. Other books called for my attention. I like it, but I'm definitely looking forward to June and Reaper Man. 😉 6y

Gezemice I have read this a while ago. This one is more fun for its little quotes and digs at Hollywood (frankly, I don‘t give a damn 😂). The story was rather shaky, but I also enjoyed Gaspode. 6y

khooliha @TheSpineView I was thinking about the purpose of the Oscar defeating the Dungeon Dimension beasts as well. It's not as if the Academy Awards reign in excess or the "unreality" (or heightened reality, I guess) of movies. I mean, it's probably just for the image, but I think it's interesting. 6y

khooliha I must have said this 3 or 4 times before, but this feels like the series really finding its groove. The antagonist/threat feels very classic Discworld, and I like using the Dungeon Dimension slightly differently than the past. Speaking of the DD, I feel like Pratchett took some pains early on to differentiate Victor from Rincewind, specifically in never running away because it takes too much energy. 6y

khooliha The wizard portion of the book felt a little weird, cause it never mattered that much that Victor used to be a wizard, but I was happy to see Ridcully and Ponder. Ridcully just needs to chill a bit and Ponder needs to step up his game. 6y

khooliha Also, a silly question: did Gaspode have 4 legs the whole book? Cause my brain squarely has him as a 3 legged dog and now I am not sure why. 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Finally finished this one too! I agree, it started off really slow for me, a bit disjointed between the wizards, Victor, the new senior wizard, etc....but as usual it coalesced as it went along and I loved the last 1/3 of the story. Gaspode was my favorite... I was wishing for a fluke that he could keep his speech and we‘d see him in other books, I enjoyed his character and perspectives. 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @TheSpineView I‘m guessing we are all relying on Uncle Oscar to protect us from film demons.🤷‍♀️ 6y

khooliha I feel like this is one book that I have the fewest impressions/memories of, so this will be interesting! (I just tried to remember anything about Moving Pictures and I think I only managed to conjure Soul Music tidbits.) 6y

julesG @khooliha Either I haven't read it at all, or it was a long time ago. I cannot remember anything 6y

Catherine_Willoughby Like some of the golden age references but otherwise not a favourite- not much character dept 5y
