NOV

2007

Okay, first off the book and movie are great. I'm 22 so must of my life I can remember watching the movie. I spent my whole life thinking what a wonderful fairytale it was, then, i get the 30th anniversary edition book in there and there's all this crap about how florin city is real and there is a museum you can see there with Morgenstern's works and Fezzik's handprints and all other kinds of nonsense. Goldman even goes as far as to say he is being sued by the Morgenstern estate 13 times and they won't allow him to publish the sequel, "Buttercup's Baby." He even says they offered it to Steven King and they met in private and he says what King told him and that he can write the first chapter to see how it goes. Well, of course, stupid me, I believed it all. I think it was a mean trick to play b/c he even lies about having the book read to him as a child, giving it to his fat son, and getting divorced. well he made the whole book up himself. If you go to the library and try to find the "original Morgenstern" you will probably get laughed at, so just a warning. Also, he doesn't have a son, he has to daughters, and his wife who divorced him "Helen" doesn't exist either, he's married to some Ilene lady. What a bummer.
