Last night I saw a movie called The Color of Magic, based on a book by Terry Pratchett. It was a total fantasy, but very entertaining. Kinda funny, as well. Since I've never gotten around to reading any of the Terry Pratchett books, I enjoyed it a lot.

I've read the Colour of Magic years ago. Haven't seen the movie. (It's the one with Sean Astin, right? There are no other film adaptation on Wikipedia.) Aparently it's adapting two books, The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic. I remember liking the book well enough, but not enough to read the rest of the series. (Colour of Magic being the first IIRC) Maybe someday as I have finally finished Lord of the Rings.

Yes, Sean Astin was in it, playing the first tourist in Discworld, TwoFlowers. Seemed like such a dweeb at first, but he turned out to be quite handy.
