Poor eofs has never seen the Princess Bride.

No, I'm not kidding. Do you have a DVD player, EofS, (and what does that mean again, your name)? If so, I'll buy you a DVD and send it to you. You *need* to see this movie.

It's just as well. If she hadn't said that, I wouldn't've been reading the script right now. I can hear the actors as I read. I don't know why I bother, I very nearly have the whole thing memorized anyway.

Good movie, that.

Edit: Oh god, there's more of you? Well, you're just going to have to share the DVD, I can't afford that many. I'll lend it to E first, who'll send it to innerbrat, who'll sent it to oloriel, who will (hopefully) return it to me so I can watch the Princess Bride. Not that I need the DVD, it's on cable at least once a month.

Sorry to say so, but unfortunatley, we don't actually have the Princess Bride in Britain at all. Or we do, but it's very hard to find. And frankly, I've never really heard of it.
That could be another reason why Britain is rather boring.
I personally don't want to borrow the DVD, though it's nice for you to offer it to people :)

Amazon does list a region 2 DVD of it, although it's 1-2 weeks for dispatch. There's no indication that it's an import from elsewhere in Europe (plus the main language is English) so I guess it is homegrown. But I don't believe I've ever seen it in a shop, or noticed it in the TV schedules. Or heard an English person talk about it.

I'm English and I rented it on video when it first came out. Have seen it a couple of times and enjoyed it.
