Fun Facts: Rob Reiner offered Mandy Patinkin any role he wanted in The Princess Bride. Patinkin chose Inigo partly because his own father died a few years before filming, and for motivation he would tell himself that if he caught the six-fingered man, his own father would come back. Patinkin said that when he stabbed Count Rugen as Inigo, it felt like he was killing the cancer that killed his father, and "for a moment, he was alive. And my fairy tale came true." #movienight

Fun Facts: The Princess Bride grossed only $30.8 million domestically, and didn't become wildly popular until the VCR came out. #movienight

By the time the movie was actually made, Schwarzenegger was too expensive to hire. #movienight

Fun Facts: Before William Goldman wrote The Princess Bride, he asked his two daughters what he should write about. One said "a princess" and the other said "a bride," and the title was born. #movienigh

Fun Facts: Mark Knopfler, of Dire Straits, wrote the music for The Princess Bride.
Knopfler only agreed to take the job when Reiner agreed to put a reference to Spinal Tap in the film. You can see the hat Reiner wore during filming for Spinal Tap hanging in The Grandson's room. #movienight

😂 Hello, my name is...

Watched a lady walk around the store with her mask down around her neck. Employees ignored her and didn't say anything. So I did. I said Ma'am can you please put your mask on? She went to put it on and then she decided her name was Karen and decided to scream that it wasn't any of my business and she has asthma. Plenty of people came over to the screaming but no one backed me up. I asked her one more time and then walked away while she continued to rant. I'm so disappointed in people right now.

The Insomnia! 😑
