Well, "The Princess Bride DVD " had grown so rich, he wanted to retire. So he took me to his cabin and told me his secret. "I am not the Princess Bride DVD," he said. "My name is The Buttercup Edition. I inherited this title from the previous Princess Bride DVD, just as you will inherit it from me. The man I inherited it from was not the real Princess Bride DVD, either. His name was The Special Edition. The real Princess Bride DVD has been retired five years and living like a king in Patagonia." Then he explained the name was the important thing for inspiring the necessary fear. You will be "The Princess Bride DVD: Dread Pirate Roberts Edition." '
One of my favorite childhood movies (which still retains its likeability as an adult) is the movie The Princess Bride. When the Princess Bride DVD was released by MGM in 2000, I bought it, but was really disappointed with the number of extras on it. A year later, they released The Princess Bride Special Editon DVD, with additional extra features. Coming soon is the The Princess Bride Dread Pirate Roberts Editon DVD and
Princess Bride Buttercup Editon DVDs. As far as I can tell, there's no difference between Buttercup and Dread Pirate Roberts, other than the cover of the DVD, but these two new versions add a mocumentary special feature on the Dread Pirate Roberts.
