"Haha. Your pig fiance is too late. In few minutes we will be safely in the fire swamp."
"We'll never survive!"
"Nonsense. Your'e only saying that because no one ever has."

"No more ryhmes now, I mean it"
"Anybody want a peanut"

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'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.

Gwaimir Windgem · 04-15-2003, 10:41 PM

Actually, Goldman was the actual author.

I believe the "S. Morgenstern" person does not exist.

Kalile · 04-15-2003, 11:12 PM

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.

Gwaimir Windgem · 04-15-2003, 11:26 PM

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

Kalile · 04-16-2003, 12:55 AM

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*

Gwaimir Windgem · 04-16-2003, 01:00 AM

Don't feel bad.

I had no idea until I read this thread...

Kalile · 04-16-2003, 01:24 AM

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!

Elvellyn · 04-16-2003, 09:29 PM

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.

Aralyn · 04-16-2003, 10:20 PM

Whoa stupid me *smack self* I didn't even know this was a book! Duh! I have to go get it and read it now. Let ya know what I think when I'm done.
Loved the movie though!

Kalile · 04-17-2003, 12:01 AM

I loved the book - don't get me wrong- but I like the movie better. You should still read it, though.

"Oh, you mean this key!"

And of course

I didn't know that it was abook either! -runs to library-

Belle · 05-11-2003, 02:03 PM

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??
