This - !
[is an angry wizard, actually, in a lovely little hotel room. A wizard who is only on his second glass of wine. But he seems to be referencing the movie he's waving angrily at his communicator.
It's "The Wizard of Oz".]
- This is terrible! An absolute mockery, is what it is! I've had so many people bringing this up, and I think to watch it for myself, and I find - I find - right, so, the wizard is a fake. Let's address that first of all, shall we? They all go on this big quest to get to the wizard, and he's fake, but how did the people not realize that in the first place, that's what I want to know.
He doesn't even have a pointy hat.
[Rincewind waves a hand.]
It's all a bad message, is what it is! Making wizards look bad! And look, the whole thing about witches being green - I mean honestly, witches are scary enough on their own without all that. That's obviously added. And the flying monkeys -
[he shudders. Never mind, not addressing those. Those were terrifying.]
But I've certainly never heard anything about them melting with a bit of water. Even trained hydrophobes don't do that. Bloody ridiculous.
The whole thing is ridiculous, is what I'm really getting at. We're supposed to believe a scarecrow which can talk and walk about is brainless? Or what about it trying to get everyone to buy that the strange man with ribbons in his hair is "a lion"? And ignoring that whole bit about how this Dorothy person could have just clicked her heels the whole time, enchanted shoes aren't what they're cracked up to be in the first place, the University can tell you. Half of her would have probably been teleported back to Kansas faster than the other half, and that would have certainly been a bloody mess. Very gruesome.
Anyway, it was hideous and I don't understand why so many of you reference it in the first place.
[two thumbs down, says newly self-appointed movie critic Rincewind; only one and a half poorly-sequined stars.]

That's another thing! Why is only one of them - !
no subject
...Only one of them green. That didn't make sense either. ...Or the wings. They weren't even being consistent.
no subject
I suppose the in-universe justification is that the Wicked Witch of the West is a "bad witch" and therefore green, but I've always found goodness and badness as a meter of how conventionally attractive someone is to be ludicrous.
Are you alright, by the way?
no subject
[just staying in a hotel because staying in the home of the man you cut organs out with currently makes him panicky and nauseous.]
But that's absolutely right. It's the lovely people who are the worst in my experience, really. It's a sort of power, being attractive. Easy to use against people, or use to trick them. ...So maybe it's only they're the best at hiding awful things.
[look, he still hasn't read your damn book, Dorian.]
no subject
You really need to read my damn book, you know. [ but back to other things. ] It's interesting that you say that because when I was younger, everybody thought the opposite. The general idea was that sin would always find a way to show through, that you couldn't hide your guilt or hide what you had done. "Sin is a thing that writes itself across a man's face. It cannot be concealed."
[ paaaaause. motherfucker's quoting himself again ] Of course, they were wrong, but it's entirely possible that's what the screenwriter was trying to go for.
no subject
[a beat.]
...I suppose that would count double in your case. Eternally young and handsome no matter what you do. That's the point, isn't it? You could be guilty of anything, but you're always going to look the same.
no subject
[ but as for Rincewind's question.... ]
Really, the initial point of my case was I just didn't want to grow old. I made my wish for immortality after I saw a portrait of myself and realized that while I would grow old and decrepit, the portrait would never age a single day.
no subject
[sooooooo that "portrait" in the title of the book isn't metaphorical. Wow, he really does need to get around to his Summer Reading List.]
no subject
Again, you really need to read my book.
no subject
no subject
[ well actually it's hidden in Will's attic because WILL GRAHAM IS A BUTTMUNCH and you don't steal friends portraits!!! but dodo doesn't know that. ]
no subject
You know, you'd think with a weakness quite that large you'd be less keen to antagonize people.
no subject
no subject
I suppose I've heard wrong.
no subject
[ that entirely 100% correct idea. there's a pause and a siiiiigh ]
Honestly Rincewind, you're acting strange. You sure you're alright?
no subject
I'm more concerned with you, Dorian. Are you feeling all right? Because from what I understand, you've been hacking your lungs out.
no subject
You must be mistaken: I don't get sick.
no subject
Handy, that.
private
If you're insinuating something about me, then go ahead and say it.
private
You cut out and sent your organs to Dr. Chilton.
[what the fuck is wrong with you, Dorian?]
private
I didn't do any of that! I'll admit that those are my organs but cutting me up and sending them? That was all Will's doing.
[ after Dorian did the same thing to Will for a while but DETAILS, DETAILS. ]
private
You just tripped and fell into the knife, did you? For months? Just the innocent organ donor with no interest in what happened to the organs he donated?
I mean, come on. At least do me the courtesy of coming up with a better excuse, Dorian, it's damned insulting.
private
Besides, apparently those sorts of gift baskets were a daily occurrence back in their Baltimore!
private
Nothing about their sort being used to it makes that all right!
