Barbie at Comic-Con

Tonight’s Viewing: The Princess Bride
Another movie I haven’t watched since I was a wee lad. Perhaps the best scene:

Wallace Shawn is so great as the “genius” Vizzini. I love his bemused “hm” after being told about iocane powder, and his giddy excitement just before taking the final drink when he thought he’d won. Great deliveries throughout.
Poor Robin Wright had to sit there blindfolded through this entire scene. I wonder if she ever fell asleep.
