Sinossi
Gli alchimisti di Mondo Disco, sfidando esplosioni, incendi e inquietanti incidenti di percorso, hanno finalmente messo a punto il "cinematografo". Da qui a inventare i pop corn, la pubblicità, i kolossal e ignobili mense per i lavoratori il passo è breve... Ma qual è l'oscuro segreto di Holy Wood? Quali misteriose forze circondano la sfavillante città dei sogni di octo-celluloide? Spetterà all'eterno studente, ora aspirante attore, Victor Tugelbend, alla bella e determinata Ginger e a Gaspode il Cane Prodigio scontrarsi con le terribili potenze che si stanno scatenando sopra la nascente città dello spettacolo... La penna arguta e irriverente di Terry Pratchett torna a colpire, scatenandosi in una divertente parodia del mondo del cinema, che diventa materia di satira pungente, divagazione delirante e grande comicità. Età di lettura: da 11 anni.

Recensioni
Welcome to the fabulous dream factory, the best place on earth, oh, sorry, wrong promo, I mean Pratchett´s dissection of the superficiality and deception of the mass production of entertainment and media. Thanks to the alchemists, the Discworld has become so much richer in high quality entertainment Leggi tutto
Re-Read 5/21/24: Ah, how I love Gaspode. And CMOTD. Truly, I love to hate CMOTD. He's everything we are today, and I hattttteeeeezzzz him. Great re-read. These all tend to get better with every read. 3rd time now? Likely. And always a joy. Original Reveiw: This is a re-read and I'm upping my rating bec Leggi tutto
Discworld novels never disappoint and this witty parody on Hollywood is hilarious.
Can you hear that? It's the sound of a movie reel. Discworld has it's first foray into the industrial revolution. Here, in form of the last guardian of an old portal dying without anybody being there to take up his tasks. Not long after, some alchemists in Ankh-Morpork develop clicks, moving picture Leggi tutto
The Discworld is constantly evolving, mainly courtesy of Ankh Morpork's guilds of something-or-other. The Alchemists Guild's latest bout of explosion for example, has produced the raw material for moving pictures (i.e. movies). Pretty soon, Ankh-Morpork becomes too cramped for the more "extravagant" Leggi tutto
Movies take the Discworld by storm. The magic of moving pictures altering reality in a way so that it opens an ancient portal to the Dungeon Dimensions is an interesting concept. The plot isn’t exactly the strongest you’ll find in the Discworld series though. The strength of the plot lies more in pok Leggi tutto
The 10th in my re-read of the entire Discworld series and the first about the industrial revolution coming to the Disc (though that is a very loosely connected inner-series serie). One reason why I decided to re-read the series is that I can never just indulge in one of the volumes. The other is that Leggi tutto
I'm stingy with my 5 star ratings and considered going with a 4 here, but I really enjoyed this read. It is hilarious. From Trolls who don't want to get "type cast" (I played a troll who runs out and hits him with a rock) to a talking wonder dog who can't get noticed because he's too "scruffy" the c Leggi tutto
