| This is brilliant and a work of art. They should make the "As
| seen in" more pronounced (took me a while to find) with an IMDB
| link and it'd be cool to have preview clips like the autoplaying
| ones Netflix has but as a montage from the original source so we
| can see the context (though I realize that may be an unrealistic
| amount of work).

|
| Shaharazad was the first to tell the story of Aladdin in 1001
| Arabian nights. So it always was a story inside a story.
| Shaharazad wants to delay her execution, so she keeps telling
| stories to the sultan.
|

|
| Princess Bride novel is written by fictional authors, who are
| providing historic and dueling commentary. It is clear that
| some of the later fictional authors have erased part of the
| story.
|
| So it too is a book within a book (which translated into a
| movie within a movie, with grandpa removing some bits of the
| story to make it more palpable to the kid)

|
| I'm not sure if this is an image error or a Firefox issue, I
