Scrubs to Pay Homage to the Princess Bride

From time to time I will read Zach Braff’s blog…though he took a slight hiatus he posted again on May the second, and gave Scrubs fans two very cool bits of news.

From ZachBraff.com:

I’ve also been stalling to talk about some big Scrubs news, however I’ve just been informed that I’m not allowed to talk about anything related to Scrubs and it’s current fate. What I can tell you is that we are currently shooting 18 episodes for the 8th season. I am not allowed to discuss where one might watch them. (More news to come.)
But I can tell you that the coolest episode we’ve ever done is going to air on May 8th at 8:30(E/P). I directed it and it’s a GIANT homage to “The Princess Bride”. Dr. Cox has to make up a fairy tale for his son and he does so using everything that happened in the hospital that day. It’s by far the most epic (and expensive) episode we’ve ever done. (Monsters, potions, evil wizards, giants, hunchbacks, gnomes – like “World of Warcraft”, but Scrubs…)
I’ll be posting an exclusive clip on this site in a few days.

Did you hear that! It’s honestly difficult to tell which is more exciting! Don’t get me wrong, the chance that Scrubs will be around for a Season 8 (regardless or where) is truly awesome. However… the princess Bride is quite possibly the greatest movie ever made! I may even wear my fabulous Inigo Montoya shirt for the occasion.

In honor of such an amazing even I have reopened the Favorite Princess Bride Character poll temporarily. Vote while you can and don’t miss out on this episode of Scrubs called My Princess.

Update:

Here are some links about the episode that you might enjoy. It looks extremely interesting!

Inigo Montoya Tshirt

Well the poll seems to be going well (vote if you have not yet…I have other plans for that…maybe). Looks like Inigo is way ahead, but I plan to leave it open for a few weeks and see what happens. However, I have been getting a lot of questions about where I got my “Hello, my name is Inigo…” T-shirt. Email’s like this touch my heart:

“Dear Aaron ,

You are awesome and I love your Inigo Montoya name tag shirt. Even though I know I will never look as good as you in one…where did you buy it?

Sincerely,

Some Guy without an awesome shirt.”

ok. well I might have made that one up but you get the point. Either way I got said shirt at ~~LuckyThreadz.com~~Loiter Apparel. Check out their site and get you a shirt. Just don’t wear yours on the same day as me. Thanks!

Favorite Princess Bride character?

So this weekend I was wearing my awesome Inigo Montoya shirt and and it got me thinking about what an awesome movie the Princess Bride is. I then began to wonder who my favorite character was and to be honest it’s pretty hard decision. I mean really. Inigo is very cool…”Hello, my name is…” but there were so many great characters. Westley, The Impressive Clergyman (classic), Fezzik, Miracle Max… on of my favorite lines is then the Grandpa (Peter Falk) says to the Grandson (Fred Savage), “Your very smart. Shut-up.” So what do you think? I have a poll..either here or on my sidebar asking the simple question “Who is your favorite Princess Bride Character?” I have a pretty lengthy list but if you want someone listed who I left out then let me know and I will be glad to take care of it. The quotes are listed purely for the sake of laughter and reference, so enjoy.

Comments are welcome and votes are appreciates.
