It worked for WCW.

Am I the only one who felt really bad for whichever horse Fezzik was going to ride out of there?

Why are you giving them ideas, cockmitter?

FirstNationalBastard: It worked for WCW.

It would take a miracle

stpauler: PLEASE don't. I f*cking hate that movie so much.

Does it hurt not having a soul?

stpauler: PLEASE don't. I f*cking hate that movie so much.

I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for attention, I can tell you I don't have any. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you.

If you apologize now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you...And I will kill you.

stpauler: PLEASE don't. I f*cking hate that movie so much.

Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You hate my movie. Prepare to die.

Westley and Buttercup's daughter falls in love with King Humperdink's son, the new prince who isn't an asshole like his pop. They run off to elope, but they get kidnapped on the way by ruffian's. The king and Westley have to work together and save their kids. They of course enlist the aid of the Dread Pirate Roberts.

Anyone want a peanut?

Doesn't it suck that you're forced to watch movies you don't like? It sucks almost as much as being required by law to read and comment on internet forums about stuff you don't like.

I blame Obama.

No. Just no.

FTFA -- Patinkin described a cast bonding moment while hanging off the movie's "Cliffs of Insanity."

Shawn had a deathly fear of heights, Patinkin said, and was terrified of shooting the scene of their climbing the 35-foot cliffs together with Wright and their now-deceased costar, Andre the Giant. Patinkin said that Andre, the 7-foot-4 pro wrestler who played Fezzik, cradled the 5-foot-2 Shawn in a kind of papoose sling as the group ascended on a forklift. "Andre patted his head and said, 'Don't worry. I'll take care of you,' " Patinkin said.

that's one of the best things I've ever read

scarmig: Fezzik's son, call it "The Prince's Bride", and of course it is about how Lil Fezzik hunts down the cult that kills his father, falls in love, and becomes king by his own hand.


Also, shoot me now.

This story shall also be told.

Lord Zardoz: There are a few hooks that could allow for a sequel.

Prince Humperdinck was left alive at the end of the movie, and Inigo Montoya presumably becomes the next Dread Pirate Roberts.

However, this is not exactly a film that requires a sequel.

END COMMUNICATION

In the Last Unicorn, what did Schmendrick do after saving the day? Supposedly he was the greatest wizard of all time. What did he do? Did he marry Molly Grue? What happened to Last Unicorn Amalthea? Did she go back to her forest? What happened then?

I can't imagine things and I need to be fed these things. Also, what about all the other stories in the Neverending Story? What happened to the Gelflings after they fixed the Dark Crystal? So many questions.

There's trouble afoot in Daventry...

According to Reiner, the biggest horse wasn't strong enough so they rigged Andre' with a harness so he was hanging from the ceiling and just barely touching the horse. He also went on to say that they were filming those scenes on the third Thursday of November when the beaujolais nouveau comes out. Andre', as the good Frenchman that he is, ordered several cases and proceeded to get thoroughly drunk. Reiner walked into the studio and there was Andre' hanging from the ceiling with a glass in one hand, a bottle in the other, drunk as a skunk, and yelling out "hey, boss!".

It's very simple. It's obvious- Especially if you read the book version...

A generation later, the boy from the first movie is reading to HIS kid (or grandkid, if they wait to much longer). He tells the same story, but HIS way. Because that's the point of the first movie. Granddad is reading "the good parts" of the book and skipping stuff on purpose, and he's telling the story his way, with his embellishments.

So you have the exact same story, but with a lot of changes. The different actors would be how the new boy in the story pictures the characters (because we all see someone different when we read a book's description of a character). The changes in the story would be the narrator's own influences updating and altering the story to fit the situation with his son/grandson.

So perhaps in this version, he leaves out the part about the Cliffs of Madness and substitutes something else. Or he makes the sword fights longer and more epic. Or he changes Buttercup's name to Princess Mathilda (because he never liked Buttercup). Or perhaps he throws in some more pirates because they were mentioned in the version he heard, and he always wanted to hear more about them and his granddad always skipped that stuff. Maybe he cuts out some more kissing. Maybe he changes Inigo to a Frenchman because he can't do a Spanish accent when reading those parts.

The point is, the story can be altered to be something different without being totally different, and it would still be in line with the basic theme of the first movie. It's about a story being told in a special way.

Dear Hollywood : STOP MAKING SEQUELS OF CLASSIC MOVIES. If you actually had an idea for a sequel, it might be worthwhile - but this is purely an excercise in making a sequel for the hell of it, and it's another foot down the downward spiral of hollywood remakes.
