RIP, William Goldman.

A lot of people are talking about The Princess Bride, of course — and while I’d be one of them, his Maverick script was great.  The 1990s weren’t actually a bad time for decent movie adaptations of classic TV shows, now that I think of it, but Maverick was a lot of fun as a movie, and the script was at least half the reason why.  William Goldman was a damn good writer: my condolences to his family and loved ones.
