Want a Deluxe 25th Anniversary Princess Bride Blu-Ray Release? As You Wish!
- Written by Jude Terror on Saturday, June 30 2012 and posted in News and Satire
The Princess Bride will be returning to Blu-Ray with a full-featured 25th anniversary edition!
A Word From Our Sponsors... More Below!
If you purchased the 2009 bare-bones blu-ray release, you fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia," but only slightly less well-known is this "never buy the plain blu-ray release when you know a much cooler super deluxe release will come out a few years later." Luckily, this reporter spent the last few years building up an immunity to iocane powder.
This new version is packed with features that are simply inconceivable - and yes, that word does mean what I think it means. Let me explain... no, there is too much. Let me sum up:
ALL NEW - TRUE LOVE: THE PRINCESS BRIDE PHENOMENON (Pts. 1 & 2) For 25 years, viewers have watched and loved The Princess Bride. But why does it resonate so strongly for all ages?
