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.

Book of the Week: The Princess Bride.
Yes, The Princess Bride the book is not as good as The Princess Bride the movie. William Goldman was a little sad, and perhaps a little weary, when he wrote it. Keeping that out of the movie was a smart call. But it’s such a good book, nonetheless. It’s unfair to judge it by its cinematic version.
And so, adieu to Anno Dracula: One Thousand Monsters.
