P.S. No spoilers about Buttercup’s Baby please, I haven’t read that bit yet.
It’s better than iocaine powder, that’s for sure.

No, you should have discovered The Princess Bride a long time ago.
You might find that the word “addictive” is a better adjective than “good” when applied to the movie. You’ll also find quotations coming to your mind in appropriate situations.
It’s inconceivable that you didn’t discover it before now!

I know, I’ve been aware of people raving about it for years but only just got around to buying a copy recently when I was in a bookshop and at a loose end. Probably have to wait until the film turns up on TV, as I haven’t got a DVD player.

That word - I no think it means what you think it does.

If you need an excuse to buy a DVD player, then The Princess Bride is the best possible excuse.

Oh, it’s already been on TV. Quite often. You just weren’t paying attention 
I can’t imagine not having watched The Princess Bride.

pointing at Ellef TROGLODYTE!
Lucky stiff. If only I could go back to my first time.
I guess you mean the book? It’s a great book!
The film is also really great. But for the last several years, I have not been able to watch it due to the sound track. It’s really dated MIDI and it’s very distracting. I wish they’d reissue the movie with an actual orchestral soundtrack.

That must be veeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrry rare indeed!
It’s a great book. But make sure to read the original and not that hack Goldman’s abridgement. It can be hard to find an unabridged English translation, but it’s worth it.
