Ghostsof1915 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 First Stan Lee, now William Goldman! Writer of the Marathon Man, (One hell of a thriller), Screenwriter for Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid. Perhaps most of all, The Princess Bride. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/obituaries/william-goldman-oscar-wining-screenwriter-of-butch-cassidy-and-all-the-presidents-men-dies-at-87/2018/11/16/db9afb16-e917-11e8-a939-9469f1166f9d_story.html?utm_term=.ed154c20575b Sad to see great writers passing on.

Nuxfanabroad Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Butch & Sundance is the best writing that's ever been. Wow..RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewbieCanuckFan Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I don't want to give the impression I'm discounting the fantastic contributions to the comic book industry that Stan Lee clearly made; it's just that sometimes OTHER individuals get a bit underated (except by comic book fanboys....) like Kirby and Ditko. Again not to ignore the HUGE work Stan Lee did for comic books, it's just that he wouldn't be nearly as "famous" if not for people like Kirby & Ditko (and obviously those two wouldn't be nearly as great without the input from Stan Lee. It was a true symbiotic relationship. But this thread is about William Goldman. Sad news indeed. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Crossbar Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 This is huge blow. One of my favorite writers of all time. Saw him speak twice in L.A. He was a wealth of invaluable information. I could listen to him tell stories forever. Very sad that he's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonLever Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Pretty talented writer responsible for many Hollywood hits. Always confused him with the writer of The Lord of the Flies, which was William Golding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just came across this just moments ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCf03KXyzIg (it's the "Once Upon a Deadpool" trailer, which isn't showing up here.) regards, D.
