In reply to the discussion: 'Inconceivable!'More than 100,000 tune into 'Virtual Princess Bride Reunion' fundraiser for Wisc Dem [View all]Proud Liberal Dem
(24,355 posts)8. Saw this tonight!
Wife and I chipped in $5 to see this. Aside from a few streaming issues, it was amazing. Kudos to all of the actors and organizers for doing this and having a Q & A session afterwards. The actors really got back into their roles quite nicely. Some of course have since passed on but the replacements did an admirable job, esp. Josh Gad as Fezzik, standing in for Andre. Stranger Things star Finn Wolfhard stepped in for the grandson, which was originally done by Fred Savage. I assume they wanted somebody young to do that role? Anyway, in short, an awesome experience and great way to help raise some money to win Wisconsin in November!

Rob Reiner mimicked Falk's voice almost exactly, when he played the grandfather reading to the kid.

I often think of Indyo saying "you keep using that word..." when I listen to Trumpers

I watched it. It was brilliant. I hope some other films or tv shows do a fundraiser like this.

I think they said it was a one shot deal. I hope they change their minds. It was such fun.

I can't remember the actor's name, but the guy who took Andre's part did an outstanding job of it.

Thank you! He wasn't familiar to me, and I really wanted to look him up afterwards.
