[QUOTE="Orius, post: 4147772, member: 8863"] Just saw it on DVD. I would have picked it up sooner if I knew it was going to be this good. I think this movie has the potential to actually dethrone [i]The Princess Bride[/i]. Oh, sorry about that puase. I though I heard Wallace Shawn screaming, "Inconceiveable!" :] It starts off kind of slow, but damn once this movie got rolling I was hooked. Michelle Pfiffer was great as Lamia. One of the best villains I've seen in years. Septimus was also another terrific villain. "No brother, [i]you[/i] killed the bishop by drinking out of the wrong cup." Totally tops the poison goblet scene from [i]The Princess Bride[/i]. And de Nero was great as the sky pirate. The airship was cool. Let's be honest: how many Eberron campaigns has he flown into so far? :] (Hey, he's bootlegging the lightning for those trains!) :) The wall guard: he's 97 and he's doing somesaults and kicking ass. Damn. And I'm glad [spoiler]Tristan picked Yvaine over that high-maintenance Victoria. She's hotter, she's more honest with him, and she rides unicorns. Makes me sorry I live on the wrong side of the wall.[/spoiler] Anyway great movie. I'm thinking I should check out some of Gaiman's writing, I like both this movie and Beowulf and he was involved with both. And books have always been > film. [/QUOTE]
