Ever thought of this?

I've been watching TPB for years, but it was only
a few months ago that my older brother pointed out
that Prince Humperdinck and Count Rugen act extremely
gay in the movie. I was so upset when I thought about
that! But seriously, I think it's just another funny
spoof added to spice up the plot a little bit. Of
course, no one ever comes out and says that they are, but
think about it.....<br>"Tyrone," says Humperdinck (the
only time his first name is used in the movie) "you
know how much i LOVE watching you work...."<br>"Get
some rest," says Rugen lovingly. "If you haven't got
your health, you haven't got anything."<br>It's
hilarious! And remember that not once throughout the entire
movie does Humperdinck show any signs of real
attraction towards Buttercup. It's all a show! He just went
out and picked the prettiest girl in the world to be
his bride when all he plans on doing with her is
killing her!<br>Anyway, it's a little far-fetched. I
haven't read the book yet, but the movie is definitely
the best ever made. It's nice to have found a place
where it is finally appreciated!

You should read the book. "The little boy" is a nod to the three-level structure of the book; and portraying the middle level of the book at least, it adds a ...
