quote [ William Goldman, who won Oscars for his original screenplay for "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" and his adaptation of "All the President's Men," died on Friday in his Manhattan home, according to the the Washington Post. He was 87. ]

"Life isn't fair. It's just fairer than death, that's all."

A damn shame. Had to happen eventually I guess but damn, I love The Princess Bride.

Hunh, kind of odd given what they're doing with the Deadpool re-release.
