I'm not sure
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

This is clearly a case where /. has WTF.
If you don't want crime to pay, let the government run it.
Is it safe?
There are no karma whores, only moderation johns
Funny this comes up. My attention was draw to this earlier this evening. Talk about adaptations... :>
Nothing new. Nada. Oh, except maybe Serenity........
Good god! You're right man. Because nothing says originality like a movie set in the same universe as a television show.
Because I am not left handed either.
Girly? Come on, it's got sword fights, wrestling, fights to the death, revenge, true lo-...Oh crap!
Heroscape, it's like legos combined with anachronistic wargames.
Any truly learned man would know that this William Goldman character is plagurizing the work of the real literary genius, S. Morgenstern.

I played D&D and read fantasy fiction long before computers were common and I was considered a nerd for that. Has that changed? Why doesn't anybody tell me these things?
I dream of a better world... one in which chickens can cross roads without their motives being questioned.
Well, I've no a priori objection to being subjugated by a princess!

The generic Slashdot reader is not poor or unlucky, nor hard-working or cleverly inventive.
The generic Slashdot reader is a rich computer programmer with a very easy life, who coasts all day sat at a computer reading Slashdot, and writes posts which regurgitate things he's read a million times before.
No more rhymes now, I mean it.

slashdot core -> science -> geology -> quicksand -> lightning sand -> princess bride.
:)
Or possibly
slashdot -> technology -> dvd -> use of dvds -> specific use of dvd's -> princess bride on DVD.
See, there is some relevance, but it's almost practically elipson.
Of course the real diagram for me is as follows
slashdot core -> science -> geology -> quicksand -> lightning sand -> princess bride -> sydney -> my dismal failure at finding a girlfriend -> slashdot

Demented and sad, but social.

I hope it's even half as good as Nothing New: Zilch and Nothing New: The Return of

It's 7AM, I just woke up to find this. First thought through my head on reading the headline:

...to me
It's inconceivable.
You don't know what that means.
Scaling a mountain
Disrespectful to gravity
Say your goodbyes
The ropes gone but still there's me.
I'm just a pirate. I need no sympathy.
Because I'm ambidexterious
You are two I guess.
Any cup that you choose doesn't really matter... to me.

Look a big, giant rat.

You're all about to see something completely inconceivable.
It's True Love. Fighting. Giants. Torture. But it's all believable.
She gets kidnapped. He gets killed. And yet it all ends up okay.
We hope there's something to enjoy and that you try to stay awake!

Vizzini carries off the Princess so that he can start a war.
With Fezzik and a swordsman he will voyage to a distant shore.
The Man in Black will chase them to return his True Love back okay.
