Groucho Marx says fuck you, along with Gilbert Gottfried and Norm MacDonald. 

So Always a Princess Bridesmaid, Never a Princess Bride then?

But she didn’t marry the prince! She thought she did, but Wesley reminded her if she didn’t actually say “I do”, the marriage wasn’t valid. Presumably she then shacked up with and/or married Wesley, which wouldn’t make her a princess or a queen, just the partner/wife of a former Dread Pirate Roberts.

Guest was the one who came up with the concept in the first place (and co-wrote the original film with McKean, Shearer and Reiner).  I’m pretty sure there’s no sequel without his input.

Final Tap

Let Guest help with the script and direction, and include an heartbreakingly wistful performance like Levy and O’Hara had in A Mighty Wind.

That photo of Shearer and Guest is *chef’s kiss*

How much more back could they be? The answer is “None.” None more back.

“giving Reiner and the band more of a stake in the film and paving the way for a sequel that fans will undoubtedly see and forget immediately.”

or The Queen Divorcee or The Queen Widow

I would expect a sequel to Princess Bride to be The Queen Bride.

I don’t get the negative tone here. As legacy sequels go, this makes a lot more sense than, say, a new Top Gun. You’re reacting to a hypothetical bad film that exists in your head.

Yeah, either of the sexual assaults that happen (the one in her teen years and the one that’s more at the end of the book, trying not to give too much away for those who haven’t read it) are important and very much an important part of the story. The review makes me think that whichever one they’re talking about isn’t…

I also really liked the book but my big complaint was the end. Throughout the book there’s this big dark secret or event hinted at which, I guess, is supposed to create suspense and carry the plot along and in the end, from what I remember, it’s a series of miscarriages? I understand I risk sounding insensitive here…

“The weaknesses of HBO’s The Time Traveler’s Wife are, then, the weaknesses that have dogged Moffat throughout his career: tonal inconsistencies that sometimes render glib what should be harrowing; a complicated story structure that occasionally obscures character, rather than reveal it; and, especially, the…

First of all, 2600 followers?? You’re not an influencer, gtfo. I have almost 900 followers and they’re mostly bots and unknown weirdos that Instagram’s algorithms sent my way (unsolicited) because the mathematics thought it might keep me engaged in the site. Plus, as everyone I’m sure knows, you can just pay for a…

So I am OK with the show’s treatment of Agnes so far, subject to my general complaint about making this class of people more likeable than they should be.

Everyone will be a ‘villain’ by the conclusion. It isn’t likely we’ll find a hero in a show that appears to observe the principles of literary Naturalism.

Ani, I agree in general with what’s happening with the old money people. At some point you have to throw these characters (and an audience) a bone as to why we should ever, EVER give a shit about them. Because right now they’re just literally the villains of the story, and boring villains at that.

Would it kill us to…
