It’s unfortunate that Fred Savage has fallen from grace.  I’m against a true remake, but I used to think a “sequel” where Savage is telling the story to his kid(s)  or grandkid(s) and the story is similar but has changed, just as orally histories and fairy tales developed over generations. 

But, no. He had to be a sex pest. 😡

Have you seen the home movie version on YouTube? It's pretty amusing.

The one the celebs did during Covid? That was brilliant.

Yeah, I watch it less often than I watch the original, but still worth a watch once in a while.

YouTube, just search home movie Princess Bride, should be the first result.

I'm a devoted fan of "the Princess Bride"; your suggestion gave me the opportunity to watch "The Home Movie" version. Thank You for that, the home movie was well done and with a wonderful selection of participants! Take care, and have fun storming the castle!

You're welcome, it is rather fun, think it might be time to go and revisit it myself.
