I recently got my grubby little hands on Going Postal, the
newest TV movie made from one of Sir Terry Pratchett’s fantastic Discworld
novels. I’ve been waiting and waiting
for Netflix to grant me the honor of housing the DVD. Now I don’t want to send it back. I’m just slightly a fan of the Discworld and
Moist von Lipwig is one of my favorite characters. Plus, he wears a gold hat with wings on it!

IMDB summarizes the movie as: A con artist is conned into taking the job as
Postmaster General in the Ankh-Morpork Post Office. The plot changed a bit but it’s still a
hilarious romp with serious undertones about corporate greed and con men. I can’t tell you exactly how it’s changed
because I haven’t finished rereading the book yet, but some of the scenes are
almost dead on.
If you haven’t read any of the Discworld novels, may I
suggest that you are missing out on a huge world of fun.
