On reading Stephen King
Inigo: Let me explain… No, there is too much. Let me sum up: Buttercup is marrying Humperdinck in little less than half an hour. So all we have to do is get in, break up the wedding, steal the princess, make our escape… after I kill Count Rugen.
Westley: That doesn’t leave much for dilly-dally.
Fezzik: You just wiggled your finger! That’s wonderful!
Westley: I’ve always been a quick healer. What are our liabilities?
Inigo: There is but one working castle gate, and it is guarded by sixty men.
Westley: And our assets?
Inigo: Your brains, Fezzik’s strength, my steel.
Westley: That’s it? Impossible. If I had a month to plan maybe I could come up with something. But this…
Fezzik: You just shook your head! That doesn’t make you happy?
Westley: My brains, his steel, and your strength against sixty men and you think a little head jiggle is supposed to make me happy? Hmm?? I mean if we only had a wheelbarrow, that would be something.

The “Official” Unofficial Fletch Page is awesome. I love this movie. “The coroner pronounced him either dead or extremely sleeping.” Sadly, I cannot tell you from where I stole this link, because I simply cannot condone condiment slander.
This is not your father’s version of The Matrix.
Drowning Mona
Drowning Mona is a great movie. Neve Campbell is gorgeous. Jamie Lee Curtis is, I think, a great actress. Will Farrell cracks me up like nobody’s business (in this movie at least). And Danny Devito and Bette Midler are, of course, awesome. If you haven’t seen it, go rent Ruthless People. That’s another great Devito/Midler
A Great Speech
Well I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman’s back, the hanging curveball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, over-rated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there oughta be a Constitutional Amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I
