  1. 'Sall about Discworld.

     

    Sir Pratchett's a genious. He's suffering from Alzhiemers, and still capable of writing some of the most amazing books I've ever read. He's achieved more in the world of litterature than both the author of Harry Potter and Twilight combined, tenfold, and his fanbase isn't made up almost entirely of pre-teen girls.

     

    If you've not read any Discworld books, you're only about 40 amazingly written books behind.

     

    "Let's just say that if complete and utter chaos was lightning, he'd be the sort to stand on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armour and shouting 'All gods are bastards'."

     

    "Several trees tried to strike up a conversation, but Rincewind was nearly certain that this was not normal behaviour for trees and ignored them."

     

    "Only one creature could have duplicated the expressions on their faces, and that would be a pigeon who has heard not only that Lord Nelson has got down off his column but has also been seen buying a 12-bore repeater and a box of cartridges."

     

    "Now we've got a truth to die for!"

    "No. Men should die for lies. But the truth is too precious to die for."

     

    "Chain letters,' said the Tyrant. 'The Chain Letter to the Ephebians. Forget Your Gods. Be Subjugated. Learn to Fear. Do not break the chain -- the last people who did woke up one morning to find fifty thousand armed men on their lawn"

     

    The Colour of Magic/ The Light Fantastic

     

    Hogfather

     

    Sir Pratchett has cameos in both these films.

  2. "We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of uppers, downers, laughers, screamers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon."

     

    This one's not from a movie, but rather a game, but it's still a sick quote, and it's in a cinematic, so it is like a film...

     

    "Given the choice - whether to rule a corrupt and failing empire or to challenge the Fates for another throw, a better throw, against one's destiny - what was a king to do?

     

    But does one ever truly have a choice? One can only match, move by move, the machinations of Fate, and thus defy the tyrannous stars. "

  3. I heard she will finish it, but she just didn't say when..

    (Maybe I just don't understand everything..)

     

    Edit:

    "James would probably win and all the Cullens would die, which wouldn't dovetail too well with the original story..."

     

    I don't know who James is, but I would so watch that.

     

    Assuming he's another "vampire", he'd have to say something like "You're pathetic. Protecting livestock as if it's capable of producing something other than nutrition and sustainence for our kind. Now, where is your weak human to protect you?" just before lifting him up by his throat and impailing him through the chest with a longsword, and just whilst he's dying, smirk and growl; "She's next.".

     

    Hell yeah, that'd kick ass.

  4. would God want a poor little innocent baby to die? im catholic and i could never even think about killing child. its really is heartbreaking.

     

    So long as they're not the first born son of any Egyptian family, he doesn't care if they die.

     

    Church and state are seperate for a reason.
