I admit, he did fool me for a while, too.

Polkat · 05-14-2002, 01:54 PM

just checking. oh well. maybe i should've made less righteous and angry posts before discovering the truth

still was very sure....

oh well [again]
[i should get more words or something. by the way does anyone know who the icon is i hav at the top of my page? i can't figure it out.

Lady of Darkness · 05-16-2002, 07:55 PM

I think the thingamajigger at the top of your screen is another dwarf. I dunno. The Princess Bride is:HEHEHEHEHEHE
another favorite part is when the stupid dimheaded mole-headed prince tries to take Wesley away and Wesley pretends to have lived in the Fire-Swamp for a long time!!!

HEHEHEHEHE

Polkat · 05-17-2002, 05:53 PM

i never laughed at that bit. didn't realise it was supposed to be funny. westly was just saying they knew the secrets of the fire swamp [another fav bit coming up]
"Westly, what about the R.O.U.S's?"
"Rodents of unusal size? I don't believe they exist..." as one jumps out of the nearby bushes.

he he he

luv that

Lady of Darkness · 05-17-2002, 06:29 PM

It IS supposed to be funny! Wesley(i've always have thought Wellesley should be pronounced Wesley) is kinda mocking, kinda joking. I always thought that Wesley wuz kinda mean after he left to *says in deep voice*"make my fortune" or something like that
Prince Humperdink:To the death!
Wesley: no! to the pain!
Prince Humperdink, looking confused: I don't think I know that one.
Wesley says his really long speach about what he'll do and then........
Inigo, as Welsey"falls":Help him!
Buttercup(stupid name):whats wrong w/ wesley?
I could go on forever!!!

I didn't like the movie. I thought it was light and full of fluff. Sorta like Titanic.

I that the fight between Wesley and Montayo was cool when I saw the first time BUT after I saw it again I throughly disappointed.

However, I like a little more grim realism in my fantasy. That's why I like LOTR I guess.

afro-elf, I share some of your opinions. I hated all the times when Wesely and Buttercup were together, and all the times when they said stuff like, 'I will live for true love'. I mean, the idea is good, but perhaps better lines?
I did however like the costumes and the sword-fights and Inigo Montoya. I liked the part when the Man in Black outwits Fexix and Montoya, but I didn't like him when I found out it was Wesley because then he went all mushy.

P.B. and Willow are wonderful pieces of fluff. Personally I've seen each about twelve times and enjoyed each and every viewing. Sometimes you need a lite story with beautiful photography and lite dialogue while other times you need a brownie!

Menelvagor · 08-26-2002, 12:57 AM

You've commited the second deadly error. The first is never start a land war in Asia, but the second is never bet against a Cicilian when death is on the line! Ha ha ha ha ha h-

Dwarven Sen · 02-04-2003, 07:14 AM

I read the book I read the book!!
Last night i actually started and finished it and i loved it.
It wasnt the real book, it was the abridged version, but it still rocks.
I love Inigo, and Westley.
Mawige...

The ending is.. unexpected after seeing the film.

Elvellyn · 02-04-2003, 07:46 AM

Sorry, there was no S.Morgenstern, it was just a puedonym for William Goldman. He made it up so he could tell you things.(i.e. he wanted to tell you there were ??? pages about the princesses packing without actually writing them)

Except my parents and my familiy you are the first one I ever met who knows the court jester!! It´s one of my all time favourites!

To whom do you hum?

Wayfarer · 02-04-2003, 07:44 PM

"So why do you wear a mask?"
"Oh, they're dreadfully comfortable. I predict everyone will be wearing them in the future."

Dwarven Sen · 02-05-2003, 07:12 AM

I cant believe i managed to spell it wrong wether they exist or not.
I am confused.
I will let you get back to your quoting.

"The pellet with the paddly is the figit with the foozle...uh, just remember that."

A classic movie. Danny Kaye is hilarious

Evenstar1400 · 02-05-2003, 06:22 PM

i saw the movie... it was really funny.... hehehe

"HELLO! MY NAME IS INIGO MONTOYA! YOU KILLED MY FATHER! PREPARE TO DIE!"

and....

"HAHAHA! HAHAHA! HAHA-ha.... *cough* *splutter* *die*"

Gwaimir Windgem · 02-05-2003, 06:44 PM

Or just skip straight from the HAHAHA to the die.

Elvellyn · 02-09-2003, 01:27 AM

The Princess Bride was has been my favorite movie since I was 5 years old! I can quote almost every line.

GrayMouser · 02-18-2003, 12:39 PM

Read the book first, loved it, saw the movie and was very pleasantly surprised - wonderful adaptation!

Favorite line (that some people probably WON'T appreciate

)

"I don't feel right about killing a girl."

"God does it all the time. It doesn't bother Him; don't let it bother you."

The vessle with the pestle has the pellet with the poison. the flagon with the dragon has the brew that is true! Danny Kaye is always hilarious.

Elvellyn · 04-13-2003, 12:46 AM

I don't know if any one else noticed this, but on the back of the movie box (at least mine) they misspelt Westley and put Wesley. I found that quite annoying.
