    Yeap, I watched it a few weeks ago and it was still the uncomfortable masterpiece I remember it being. Might be my favorite De Niro performance.

    Indeed they are, but I'm pretty sure you and your wife are in the minority on that one.

    The first part is but I totally lost interest when the narrative changes. And I actually did trip in the shower this morning. Quite painful.

    You cleaned the shower with your toothbrush?

    Nope, I'd with out The Princess Bride, as much as it pains me. FMJ is a masterpiece.
