Wesley is so amazing in this film... No one else I know has seen it, and it's one of my favourite films! Is the book worth reading, I haven't ever seen it about.

My movie is on tape
My movie's on tape, so I dunno. I can't understand what Fezzic and Inigo are saying while they fight. I heard Inigo's story, but only little fragments of Fezzic's the 9billionth time I watched it. I know both stories from Goldman's book, but that's just cheating.
To all those who wish to read the origional- The asides are cool, but that's all. They're hilarious comments by Morgentstern. One of Goldman's comments (at the start of chapter 2) reads " This chapter is where my son Jason stopped reading, and there is simply no way of blaming him. For what Morgenstern has done is open this chapter with sixty-six pages of Florinese history. More accurately, it is the history if the Florisese crown. Dreary?Not to be believed." Goldman complains for a bit, then gets back to the story, but still. That is just one small example of all the static Goldman cut. I must say that Morgenstern is a good writer, but he falls to much in love with the place he writes about. In that sense, he and Tolkien are very much alike.

Actually, Goldman was the actual author. I believe the "S. Morgenstern" person does not exist.

S. Morgenstern: fact or fiction
S. Morgenstern was real. William Goldberg talks about how his father read it to him when he was little, and then, when he read the origional, he found that his father had skipped huge chunks. After a while, he decided to edit the book to his "Good Parts Version" as he titles it.
By the way, this is the third "conversation" I know of between me and you. Weird.

I believe that S. Morgenstern was purely a literary tool.

I concede defeat again.
Yeah, I was reading some of the other posts, and saw that
:embarassed: That's what I get for being so gullible. I've been chewing a lot of shoe-leather online. *sigh*

Thanks, but I bounce
I always feel stupid, but I get over it quickly, thank goodness! otherwise I'd be perpetually berating myself for being a big mouthed idiot. Which is what I am, but no sense in clobbering myself for it!

Like I said before, I think he just used 'S. Morgenstern' to make up for all the things he couldn't say. i.e. He wanted to say there were a hundred and some pages abut the princesses packing without actually writing them.

The movie's better
I loved the book - don't get me wrong- but I like the movie better. You should still read it, though.
"I have no key." "Tear his arms off." "Oh, you mean this key!" And of course "To the pain!"

You mean he wrote the whole book? But he said his dad read it to him when he was little? And he said that Morgenstern left out bits that should be in??
