video; open to action for Hotel Castile residents
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.]

So witches don't all have cats?
no subject
And no, of course they don't. Familiars have more variety than that.
no subject
What about murderous boxes with legs?
no subject
Wait, you're the one with the demon-box?!
[ he never actually saw Rincewind at the fountain, back when their respective familiars had been having a face-off... he just vaguely remembers some scrawny little kid riding a wooden trunk with too many teeth. ]
no subject
[Rincewind had an unfair advantage there, considering Klarion was still a very distinct shade as a child.]
It's not actually a demon, though. I was confused on that point.

...I'm not skittish, though. [a small stab of pride.] I'm prudent.

[ SORRY RINCEWIND, he grew up into kind of a jerk! ]
no subject
Try "normal"! No regular people want to talk about things like that!

[ HE IS GRINNING, this is way too easy! ]

You should really work on that, if you're so easily disturbed.
