Shriek!! Otto Chriek!

[yakalskovich]

I was unhappy about the Oscars. I wanted Jack Sparrow to win, dammit!

But I had a pleasant surprise when the Best Actress trophy was presented - suddenly, there was Otto Chriek on my TV screen! As in ottochriek !!

It's customary to use some actor on the character icons on discworld_rpg, but I had no idea before who that charming gawky fellow on the icon for Otto was.

Turned out he's called Adrien Brody.

And is he ever Otto!! Tall and skinny, with a large nose and a big smile, slightly hyper and ever so enthusiastic. And that thing with the breath freshener was priceless. Our icons fit the characters rather well in most cases, but this Adrien Brody is Otto all the way; nobody else must be allowed to play Otto if there is ever any Discworld movie, which isn't very likely at the moment. I'd cast Alan Rickman as Havelock Vetinari (the Nazgul has a picture where he looks totally like the Patrician, minus a beard); otherwise, I have no preferences. Thank you, universe; you can go to work now and bring it all about...

In other news, I have figmented off again and am now playing pteppicymon as well in the discworld_rpg. I must be mad; now I can metapost all over the place if I get muddled. Vee (ponderstibbons) kindly explained to me what metaposting is.-

I bought the DVD of "The Thin Red Line" entirely because it has Adrien Brody in it and I want to see more of him; "The Pianist" is still too expensive. I'll see whether Falk the Metropolitan has it first. And I bought a CD everyone owns, as a rule, but I had given my copy away seven years ago. I didn't realise how much I missed Kurt Cobain singing "Lake of Fire"...

Could you kindly convey to Mr Teppic my condolences congratulations upon joining the Century of the Fruitbat, and if he has any spare statues of Hat the Vulture-Headed God (I hear they're quite reasonably priced these days) I will be happy to find a sucker suitable purchaser for them.

Thank you!

Do we ever have spare statues! How about a forest of spare statues? Chidder's ship is much to small to take them.

Perhaps one or two of the very smallest ones. If he doesn't have any other freight apart from Ade.

Have a look at my journal from time to time, Miss, and give me another shout when he's there and I'm ready to go.

For such a nasty country, people want a lot of stuff from Djelibeybi
