hamlet's soliloquy at the end is the punchline but it's woven right through.
Uncle Monty "I sometimes wonder where Norman is now. Probably wintering with his mother in Guildford. A cat, rain, Vim under the sink, and both bars on. But old now, old. There can be no true beauty without decay."
one of the all-time greatest chat up lines ever. the verbal equivalent of pushing on a closed door to see if it's locked.
or in Uncle Monty's case, to see if there's enough play that it might give under a bloody good shove.
’If I spiked you, you’d know you’d been spoken to’ - a genius line!
i had the privilege of interviewing the wife of the late Richard Griffiths who played Monty. She’s a wonderful lady and even though we’d set up the camera and lighting, conducted the interview and packed up in less than an hour she insisted we stay for lunch as we had driven so far to speak to her. She had put together a huge spread (which was delicious) and just talked with such pride about his career, reminiscing about all of the films he had been in and the experiences (obviously a lot about Harry Potter!) I asked her what his favourite film to have been in was and without hesitation she said it was Withnail & I; apparently he loved the film and it was one of his favourite experiences appearing in it so we talked about Withnail & I for the rest of lunch.
as a fretboard relevant aside he was a keen guitar player in his spare time, she said he loved to play and had a nice Les Paul and a few acoustics.
Great film! Miracle Max ftw!

These things (& wigs) very often cost a bomb to make (sometimes using vintage period fabrics, expensive woven tweeds & silks, embroidery & rare brocade) & are sometimes only need for a couple of hours shooting. So to rent by the day/hour makes audit sense.
Big ticket US productions can afford to underwrite new tailor-made wardrobe as they expect to recoup & profit, but the day shooting stops is when the costumiers come a-hunting.

The weird thing about The Princess Bride for me, is that while it has (according to Wikipedia) a running time of 98 mins, it feels like it goes on for ages. I've seen it two or three times and there's always a point where it feels done but then carries on for another half an hour.
I was at a wedding at the weekend. We were supposed to leave the kids with my parents for the day, but there had been some confusion about dates or something and they'd arranged to go to France so we had to make other arrangements.
I ended up explaining the whole saga several times during the day to different friends of ours, using the phrase "they went on holiday by mistake" each time. Not one person got it. I need different friends.
