The City Watch books
- Thread starter Beyond Birthday
- Start date
The trailer for the movie has her say something about lunch, turns into a werewolf and kills some guy. Since Pip has seen this movie and says nothing like this happens I guess this scene was made to make the trailers more 'exciting.' In other news the trailer for the next Harry Potter movie involves Harry becoming a drunk 
The entire point of her character is that she doesn't go out of control like that and, if she ever did, the Watch (specifically Carrot) would stop her by any means possible. In the trailer you can even clearly see someone else in the Watch right behind her!
"Wait, Angua, you're gonna kill that guy?"
"No, just trying to appeal to a general audience."

Hi Beyond and welcome to the forum.... its a good place... a happy place (run... run now... very fast...) KIDDING!!!
Beyond: where are you from... America? I am Australian and the trailer for "Going Postal" here also has Angua suddenly turning into a werewolfe and attacking. Its hype. No idea why they ever put that into the trailer... maybe to show off the special effects. I loved Guards! Guards! and I LOVE the watch series. (Pip you say anything about Seiko or Pulsar and I will come over there and shove a Citizen in places for which customs will need rubber gloves). If you like the guards you are going to love the witches. And yes DEATH is amazing. Hard choice to decide if I like DEATH or Vimes the most.... or Granny

I never realised the covers were different for the books in different countries. Anyone know where I can see the American covers? Why would they do that? Are there any others? I think we get the same as the UK here in Australia. (Then again they did change the Happy Potter title in America huh... Harry Potter and the SORCERERS Stone. Why did they do that? Americans don't know what a Phylosopher is? I have spelt that wrongly haven't I? Is that correct grammar? "spelt wrongly? POOOOH!
Well I mentioned disliking a Discworld cover so I must be from America. I think they just put that in there for people who weren't fans but liked the idea of werewolves attacking people. Yes, I'll probably read a DEATH book sooner or later. I might read Men At Arms before that, though, since I already have a copy. I also have Feet of Clay and my library has Jingo.
Thanks for all the welcomes.

Well it was changed to Sorceror's Stone because the American publishers assumed that children wouldn't be interested in philosophers. The funny thing is now that Fullmetal Alchemist is out here in the states everyone knows what a philosopher's stone is.
As for why covers change from country to country it's probably for more or less the same reason. Maybe the cover for THUD! changed because the American publishers thought people wouldn't be interested in a Chess-like cover. I don't know, a lot of Moon-logic goes into these decisions.

Its true though: I never answer "fav DW book/ fav movie/ fav song" questions because I love so many.... And yes I love all my girls equally... even the little changling the aliens have substituted for my teenager.

Like you i do avoid the favourite book etc as i don't like choosing.
Sorry about the teenager trouble. We were all those bundles of joy once i suppose.
