I believe that entertainment media should also add something of value to a person’s life. Like, all the fun and the "Oh noes!" are there, but also a bit extra to make people pause and think.<\/p>\n

Imagination food that hasn’t been pre-masticated by other minds.<\/p>\n

Entertainment<\/h2>\n

"The Color of Magic" is available on Freevee.<\/p>\n

Rincewind becomes a tour guide for the "tourist" Twoflower. Adventure ensues.<\/p>\n

It’s a good introduction to the Discworld movies (when I started the books, I read "Pyramids" first).<\/p>\n

Watching "The Color of Magic" makes me want to search out the rest of the movies. While wishing that they would make more (Please!)<\/p>\n

If you haven’t read the Discworld books, you should. If you have read the books, you should watch the movies. If you have watched the movies and books, you should watch and read them again.<\/p>\n

Terry Pratchett was an amazing writer. And the Discworld novels are brilliant. (Pyramids, Mort, Equal Rites, Sourcery, Hogfather, Small Gods, etc. etc. of brilliance upon brilliance.)<\/p>\n

If you’ve never experienced the Discworld, do yourself a favor and familiarize yourself. You will become a much better and happier person.<\/p>\n

And a lot less likely to be scammed by grifters.<\/p>\n

\n

If you’re using FireTV, you can download Freevee (it’s the renamed IMDB app), same with PlutoTV, Crackle, and Tubi. None of them ask for you to make an account and sign in, which is a plus.<\/p>\n
