The Princess Bride, and Her Loyal Subjects
Entertainment Weekly did a Princess Bride reunion photoshoot, and Good Morning America interviewed Cary Elwes, Robin Wright, Chris Sarandon, Wallace Shawn, Billy Crystal and Carol Kane. There’s not really any revelatory information — other than perhaps the fact that Billy Crystal still has Miracle Max’s hat — and they mostly just discuss which lines fans come up to them and say, but it’s still a blast because The Princess Bride totally rules. It’s a shame Mandy Patinkin and Christopher Guest weren’t there, but it’s more a shame Andre the Giant. You know, the first time I watched The Princess Bride, I was 100% convinced that Cary Elwes was going to be the biggest movie star in the entire world. I’m still boggled as to how that didn’t happen.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
