Yes, I am kicking myself over the Kirk one - I knew I knew it!!

Have you read the novel of The Princess Bride - it's a little different from the film and really good. Took me ages to find a copy, though. I'd recommend it.

I say let's go for the Princess Bride page - you never know, we might even be able to get William Goldman to contribute.

Cheers

Yes, I have read the book. You wouldn't believe how long I thought S Morgenstern was real.

Hopefully by the end of teh day i'll have the "Princess Bride Script" up. Drop by and contribute. I'll tell everyone else on teh quotes conversation and tell them.

It's ready. Check out "Princess Bride Script."
