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.]

Some of us are working.

...And an excellent job I'm sure you're doing of it! [yelled back with false cheer.] Keep up the good work! You're doing very well!

I've had enough of "interesting" this week, "interesting" is why I'm here in the first place. Complaining about movies is more my speed at the moment, thanks.

Wrong hotel, honey. That's all we do.

Right, I've still no idea who you are.

[Rincewind steps to the side to allow her in, several shades of distrusting. The Luggage considers getting up from the foot of the bed to inspect their visitor, but ultimately only turns itself around and settles again.]
Don't let its appearance fool you. [defensively. Just in case this odd woman is here to punch him in the nose for being loud, or something.] My Luggage is absolutely deadly.

[She takes a seat on the bed without waiting for further invitation, reaching into her coat to pull out another cigarette.]
Just what kind of witch are you?

[still staying some distance back, the bubble of space Rincewind typically affords strange women sitting in his vicinity.
He reddens at the question.]
Not any sort, obviously, I'm a wizard. Honestly, just because I'm in a robe...
