[MarsLady]

Has just started on the Sci-Fi channel.

I love that film!

I did indeed weesaidie... will CAT you again.

bea... on your recommendations (no pressure there then) I have ordered 3 copies of the book. I shall be giving copies to my sisters for Christmas.

Oh yes.... Mars has started her Christmas shopping.... it can only lead to bankruptcy lol

Love this film!!! It is mine and dh's all time fav film!!! Have the book - brill too.

We probably use a qoute from it nearly every day!! sad or wot!!?

so do we.....

It's VERY difficult going to weddings these days. We can't stop ourselves from saying..

Mawwiddggggggggggggge lol

i am sure that you will all have a vewy vewy merry cwistmas! with your books and you will NOT be dissapointed!!!!

Adore this film, just so hilarious and so romantic: "I will never doubt again." "There will never be a need".

Also love the fact some of it is filmed in my native county of Derbyshire.

And particularly love the bit where Westley probably shouldn't go swimming for a few hours after being raised from the dead

Who is your fav character? I love them all!!
Liked billy crystal as miracle max.

Marslady - i know what you mean about weddings!!

Then wove, twue wove, will follow you fowever...

MarsLady and Weesadie... got your CAT... will post tomorrow!!!

stop it.... I'm crying with laughter here.

The fireswamp... who could forget the fireswamp and RUS

never seen it so going to have to rent it and watch it, ditto with the nightmare before christmas. planning on seeing nanny mcphee this weekend, wonder if DSs 13 and 15 will come or maybe not cool enough. Traditionally we always go out to the cinema on my birthday in December (only time I allow them to have popcorn at the cinema as I am such a cheapskate normally - and I have a deeply extravagant ice-cream sundae, and then we go out for dinner) but back to the subject!! The film is always my choice, was all the Lord of the Rings films which left me wracked with emotion and in need of a strong drink. Last year it was Phantom of the Opera which they didn't really enjoy but put up a good show. Wonder what it will be this year. I am sure there is some big film out just before Christmas.

If you've read the book, go on the Amazon website - there are hysterically funny postings by people who really believe all the stuff about the author, William Goldman, having stolen and abridged the book from Morgenstern. Some people even claim to have read the original and won't believe the rest when they point out that Goldman made the whole thing up!

fantastic!

I love stuff like that lol.

I've had my email... my copy is on route to me now. Will have to wait 5-7 days as I'm a cheapskate too and bought a book for the DTs so that I didn't have to pay delivery. lol

Hi Bea, got your letter today! Thanks so much. Haven't read it yet, am saving it for this evening and a glass of wine!

Marslady, don't want to be picky here dear but isn't it ROUS?? Also recently I got chatting to a guy who said his uncle play the ROUS in the film...?!

2[Buttercup and Westley have just entered the Fire Swamp]
Westley: [looking around] It's not that bad.
[Buttercup stares unbelievingly at him]
Westley: Well, I'm not saying I'd like to build a summer home here, but the trees are actually quite lovely."

lol.. it is so funny. Might have to get the dvd out tonight.

One of DHs favourites Got it on DVD for him one birthday/Christmas.

Can't resist... popped in for a quick lurk but had to post this..... (and you're right of course ROUS lol)

Humperdink: My father's final words were, 'Love her, as I loved her and there
will be joy.? I present to you, your queen; Queen Buttercup.

[Buttercup comes out before the crowd. She is met by a hideous woman]

Woman: [in a horrid voice] Booooooo! Booooooo! Boooooooo!
Buttercup: [upset] Why do you do this?
Woman: Because you had love in your hands and you gave it up!
Buttercup: But they would have killed Westley if I hadn't done it.
Woman: Your true love lives, and you marry another! True love saved her in the
fire swamp, and she treated it like garbage. And that's what she is,
the Queen of Refuse. So bow down to her if you want. Bow to her. Bow
to the Queen of Slime, the Queen of Filth, the Queen of putrescence!
Boo! Boo! Rubbish! Filth! Slime! Muck! Boo! Boo! Boo!

"Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while." Sigh...

I got my book!

Whoopee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't MN today lol...need to read. And I have my letter to read when I get to The Announcement.
