Peter Falk's first entrance is 100% this. #PrincessBrideReunion

For those who may be confused, we're pregaming the #PrincessBrideReunion by rewatching the original. (Available free on Disney+, for pay various other places.)

The actual #PrincessBrideReunion is at 6 Central, 7 Eastern—a little less than two hours from now. It's gonna be amazing, and supporting @WisDems. Never to be repeated! Sign up!

BTW, Elvis is very much in a phase of glare-smirking at me any time we're watching something and she thinks I might get misty. (Schitt's Creek, Phineas and Ferb, Casablanca.) Every time she does it during Princess Bride, I give @WisDems ten bucks. DON'T TELL HER.

"Anybody wanna peanut?"

"I swear on my father Domingo Montoya you will reach the top alive." This scene is so adorably soft.

For every time either of my kids audibly, verbally squees, I give @WisDems a buck. We're up to $3.

"THIS IS JUST SO GOOD." —Casey, in the first swordfight. And then again, whispering to herself. $5.

Wally Shawn ... Sicilian.

"Okay, maybe THIS is my favorite scene." $6.

The "Boo! Boo! Boo!" lady has the precise energy of the 1973 Mark Alan Stamaty children's book "Who Needs Donuts?"

Of all the pieces of tonight's #PrincessBrideReunion that I'm excited about, that Carol Kane is going to be there is what has me the excitedest.

And now Elvis is giggling uncontrollably at Carol Kane. $8.

"And then there's this scene, which is my favorite scene." $9.

"I want my father back, you son of a bitch."

"Hello, lady!"

See y'all in 22 minutes.
