Mostly Dead: A Brief Celebration

Pour out a little bit of iocane powder-laced wine for William Goldman, who passed today at the age of 87. The Academy Award-winning screenwriter and novelist wrote the screenplay for All the President's Men, Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid, and a number of other prominent films. More importantly, for the purpose of this bit of filler, he also penned the screenplay for The Princess Bride.

May he spending his eternity free of the fire swamp.
