przedSince Ros is handling the dementors and various deaths in Harry Potter perfectly fine, we thought we'd give The Princess Bride a go for the first Family Movie Night of the year.
Yeah, that didn't go well.
Both the Sweetie and I remembered it as being light and funny.
Ros will no doubt remember it entirely because the R.O.U.S.s (Rodents of Unusual Size) scared her witless.
Okay, so it is a bit scary looking, for a little dude in a mangy costume.
She didn't do so well with Wesley being tortured or the final duel between Inigo and Count Rugen either.
Our plans to show her Star Wars are now on hold for a bit. (I'm betting Aunt Beru's death would do Ros in.) Though I'm seriously considering pulling out my old Star Wars novelization to read to her ahead of time, since she seems to be less scared when she knows exactly what's going to happen from the start. (She knows every Harry Potter spoiler there is.)
So, it's back to slapstick, screwball comedies and sports movies for a bit. Oh, and Gilmore Girls, which I have hooked her on. (I'm going to try original Trek next time, The Trouble with Tribbles and A Piece of the Action. I suspect if I showed her the salt vampire one she'd never forgive me. *g*)
