It's not funny, it's not scary, it's not intense, it's just... BLAH. I might as well watch Caddyshack II. Mike Build a man a fire and he'll be warm for a day...

And Back to the Future was okay, but I sure as heck couldn't see why they had to make MORE of them... Maybe if I'd been younger when they came out, I'd like them more. Don't know. And the hype around Ghostbusters definitely led me to expect more. If it's any consolation, there really aren't many movies from that time frame that I *do* like. Spinal Tap and Amadeus stand out...

Quote:Originally posted by Kwicko: Would it be further heresy to admit here that I've never seen The Princess Bride, and likely never will? I'm not sure WHY I never saw it, but as for why I won't, it's been built up too much, too many times, by too many people. There's no way it could POSSIBLY live up to my expectations of it now. So I refuse to see it, because it's better in my imagination (I've seen bits and pieces, but never the whole thing). Mike Build a man a fire and he'll be warm for a day...

Mike Granted, The Princess Bride is such a popular iconic 80's film that it's hard to be part of the "me too" bandwagon. The actual princess part of the movie is rather drab. Aside from a few good zingers between her, and Wesley it really isn't much of a story. What makes the movie is Inigo Montoya played by Mandy Patinkin. Classic tale of revenge about a drunken master swordsman(The book tells his entire origin, and is much more in-depth about the character). Also, enough funny one-liners to last a year. I wouldn't miss this film if I were you. Trust me my friends over-hyped Spinal Tap to absurd heights. I almost skipped it forever. Reluctantly watched it with one of them, and was a changed man. Oh, and Alicia Witt is the hottest Red head on the planet. Good call.
