@diazona think of it as a little treat!
We've watched sooo many bad movies this year, we deserve it! #Monsterdon #Hogfather

#monsterdon very curious about this soul cake duck

who is that guy hanging out with the grim reaper and why isn't anyone lighting his blunt. #rude #monsterdon

poor ernie, he didn't ask for this. #monsterdon

@jonny Rowling ripped everybody off #monsterdon

Bloody Stupid Johnson! Yes!

(Pratchett nerd alert!)

#Monsterdon

For other olds like me who might think Nigel Planer looks familiar, he also played Neil on The Young Ones back in the day. #monsterdon

TEETH TEETH TEETH #monsterdon

I have nothing to say about this movie yet except that I am grooving on this. <3 I love Mr. Teatime, and I ALSO love Susan.

Noting for the record that like @moira I am sadly NOT very versed in the work of Sir Terry. This is my first encounter with any version of this story at all.

@blogdiva
Every British actor has been in a BBC/PBS show.

#Monsterdon #Hogfather

Every heist crew needs a locksmith, a wizard, and a large adult son #monsterdon

#monsterdon So, theory: when Mary was dreaming at Downton Abbey, she was living as Susan.

ooooh! her eye! she's a cyborg or something?

#Monsterdon #Hogfater

Nigel Planer would've made a WAY better Rincewind than David Jason #Monsterdon

@Bluedepth (it's extra annoying that the ads are choppy)

#Monsterdon #Plex

ok what is this hogfather business #monsterdon

@sean He has a very fae look to him. He also played "The Gentleman" in Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. #Monsterdon

"Only as a hobby sir"

#Monsterdon

is the creepy blonde guy the priest (or whatever the Anglicans call it) in that BBC/PBS show? can't remember the name

#Monsterdon #Hogfater

The Auditors of Reality are recurring antagonists that are kinda like Vogons. They want everything to be neat and tidy. They don't understand things like imagination and would like things that are not "tidy" to be cleaned up.

#Monsterdon

@Taweret @sentient_water Yeah exactly - people are watching the hashtag, so using it is how you participate and get your posts seen

#Monsterdon

"inhumed" #monsterdon

(just be glad you're not in the room with me, #monsterdon, i am that obnoxious person reciting every line with the show.)

@moira radicalize the youth! #Monsterdon #Hogfather

Okay the turtle has a badass (musical) theme

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Now there’s a real conversation piece on the mantle. We all need a crossbow by the clock.

Had a circuit blow just as #monsterdon was due to start, so now I'm a few minutes behind 😡

Just now catching up to #Monsterdon #HogFather

#Monsterdon #Hogfather
See why Susan is my hero? SEE?!

This episode of Downton Abbey is weird.

#Monsterdon #Hogfather

HO, HO, HO

I've read this several times but never watched. What a treat!

#Monsterdon #Hogfather

I've got some nog, ready for Hogswatch.

mute #Monsterdon if you're not into Terry Pratchett's Hogfather, which we are watching for the next couple hours

We watch this every year on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day :)

Got me chocolate and port and feeling christmassy

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #Hogfather
The Great A'Tuin, with a sun following a path that would give NASA migraines.

@Taweret #Monsterdon Hogfather already love it.

#monsterdon #hogfather

It's all been talk up until now, but it's time for the Special Holiday version of #Monsterdon!

#Hogfather on Tubi.
Starts now!

#JoinIn Use the Monsterdon Hashtag!

It's turtles all the way down!

#Monsterdon #Hogfather

https://tube.me.jon-e.net/videos/watch/8b656c0d-6ac5-4a2b-90da-11aea3e20977

opened an issue for streaming from an already-uploaded video for any #monsterdon heads who would like to try making a @peertube instance to stream the movie so ppl don't have to deal with ads and whatnot
https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/6136

Finally made it to the end of part 1

...I was pretty confused by about 90% of that but I caught just enough to make me look forward to part 2 next week!

Thanks for hosting as always @Taweret

#Monsterdon

@Taweret Thanks! Where were you watching it? For us, Tubi seemed to be behind almost everybody, and you were way ahead of us #monsterdon

I bet real magic would be like this, lots of nothing happening while the wizard tries to debug their spells

#Monsterdon

now that we have a wiki page for it, this is your abbreviated "if you can see this, you're about to encounter #monsterdon" post that is now just a segue into "gesturing broadly at the link" https://wiki.neuromatch.social/Monsterdon

Well it's kind of hard for me to approach but I'll be back for the second half, thanks as always for hosting @Taweret ^_^

#monsterdon #hogfather

@flowerpot Next Sunday, usual time ^_^

#monsterdon #hogfather

@brion oh dang, winner

#monsterdon #hogfather

although i just realized i might miss #Monsterdon next week depending on plans. we shall see

#Monsterdon i wasn’t posting much because i was focusing on the movie (first time watch). can’t wait for part 2! thanks everyone and thanks @Taweret for hosting!

#monsterdon Happy, happy and Merry, merry to you all!

Are people doing episode 2 (2nd part) of Hogsfather?
#Monsterdon

And on that cliffhanger we pause #monsterdon for part 2 is next week!

OK I have just gotten to the part where we see Discworld's version of ChatGPT

#Monsterdon

Entertaining stuff!

#Monsterdon Real-Time Film Commentary Team

TIL Whatever movie is screened, you will take just the right tone and post the precise takes to make our time together addictively fun.

Can't wait until next week!

#Hogfather (Part1!)

#monsterdon ahhh a cliffhanger, or is that disc-hanger?

It was lovely watching with all of you. :meowhuggies:

#Monsterdon #JoinIn

oh noes the fortress of solitude!

#monsterdon #hogfather

And we've got a holiday mystery on our hands! Goodnight, Monster people! #Monsterdon

Smalls - “oh no, his spooky throne” #monsterdon

I really like the effects of the images coming out of Death's book. #Monsterdon #Hogfather

#Monsterdon "so if we steal them, do they become ours?" "...is that a trick question?"

Ooooh okay *now* it makes sense why they were making a big pile of teeth (to control all the world's children)

I was definitely missing that for a while

#Monsterdon

Ooh, nice entrance music for Susan!
#monsterdon #Hogfather_ep1

Nobby isn't dirty enough #monsterdon

Constable Visit-the-Unbeliever-With-Informative-Pamphlets #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🍿

I'd kneel before her [Susan]. She's awesome (in the original sense of the word).

#Monsterdon

nobby really doing his best in that conversation. #monsterdon

Careful with that crossbow, you'll put your eye out!

#Monsterdon #Hogfather

#Monsterdon I like to think I've been a good Individual this year

Hate Nobby though #monsterdon

@Telstar @wohali @hosford42 i usually hang out in different realms closer to speculative fiction/"sci-fi" and less fantasy, but from what i'm reading here it's much more charming than what i assumed of fantasy - i sort of had it pegged without any information aside from vibes as "douglas adams writes lord of the rings" but seeing this response i have to give it a shot (haven't been able to pay attention to the movie but that's on me today) #monsterdon

#SplendaDaddy says, "I'd kinda feel sorry for the gods of the Disc if Susan is elevated to godhood or someday becomes Death. She's gonna kick their asses into shape."
#Monsterdon #Hogfather

The old myth literally exploding the modern cleaned-up version of it is the most Pratchett thing ever. <3 #monsterdon

#Monsterdon DNA cloning control from your clippings maaaaan

albert like :3
#monsterdon

#monsterdon thx to soulcakeduckduckgo

oh man #monsterdon, didn’t make in time :(

hope to make it for part 2

Albert seems to be in good shape for having had 1.8 million shots in one night

#Monsterdon

There's Tony Robinson, aka Sodoff Baldrick ! #monsterdon

The Unconquered Sun, you say? So this is a crossover with Exalted?

#Monsterdon #Hogfather

The Veruca Gnome!
#Monsterdon #Hogfather

@jonny

#monsterdon #hogfather

The store manager is Tony Robinson, who also played Baldrick in Blackadder and read some of the original audiobooks too. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Wait, if I had just agreed with the Hogfather to be good, I could’ve had an army and a castle? Wow! #MissedChildhoodMoments

@jonny Sounds like a neat idea! I'd be down to try it out, at least

#Monsterdon

[explosions amidst the hogs]
[brazil theme starts playing]

#monsterdon #hogfather

( see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9OEMKXtYP4 for the tune ^_^ ) #monsterdon #hogfather

you'll really wish you hadn't, ridcully. #monsterdon

bow down

#monsterdon #hogfather #LetsGoSleighThem

#monsterdon the scene in the toyshop is pure joy

Was hog pee on the bingo card? 😎

#Monsterdon #Hogfather

also, let's have this a bit right: death is running around saving the world or some part of it and basically taking a holiday from being death and has a granddaughter named susan

which doctor is this guy now?

#monsterdon #hogfather

@ifixcoinops @wohali @jonny @hosford42 Just know that some of the books are related in arcs, so that reading the early ones helps in reading the later ones in that arc. And some of them don't really relate to the others. So if one doesn't grab you, try another. :) #monsterdon

If I had a special, congruent universe I'd use it for naps.
#Monsterdon #Hogfather

sooooo... the borrowers are here too then?

#monsterdon #hogfather

Three consecutive ads for Shen Yun 🤦
