I never saw the Princess Bride. Is it good?

You're kidding, me Candy, right?

It's one of the silliest, funniest likeable movies I've ever seen. People have been quoting here occasionally. If you were in Toronto, I'd lend you a copy.

Buy it, rent it, whatever, just watch it. I guarantee you'll love it!

Hey, I live under a rock. I'll try to find it at the Super Market for purchase. I just don't get out much. I don't have any friends here in Chicago.

You'd have to live under a rock to have not seen it, at least if you had the same circle of acquaintance as I. (I think they'll actually kick you out of faire if you haven't seen Princess Bride or Monty Python and the Holy Grail. They'll at least point and laugh, unless you're under the age of about twelve.)

LOL

I've seen Monty Python (every one of those movies over and over again).

^^^
That was in the mid 80's!

Maybe, if it's a big success they can turn then turn it into a film....again!

The film was fun and had a great cast, but come on. First THE PRODUCERS, now this? Apparently just simply remaking a popular film won't do anymore. It's time to go post-post-modern into a kind of mobius strip universe of one idea recycled and reworked over and over until the audience member himself dies and is replaced in his seat by his own offspring, ad infinitum.

I'll second that. Also, hit the library or the bookstore and get the book, as well. They did a very good job of faithfully rendering the book as a movie. Some stuff got left out, but that's to be expected.

Billy Crystal as Miracle Max is a hoot!

Candy, you can probably borrow it from you local library, if you don't want ti rent/buy it

Edit: Nowhere Man, does it suprise you that we both like this movie considering we both really enjoy Wallice and Grommit?

I've never seen any of the Star Wars flicks, Harry Potter movies, or those really famous flicks on the hobbits and stuff.


HOBBITS AND STUFF - is that the Princess Bride?

I know, I'll start running now!

I hadn't seen or heard of that movie until first year uni... it's a good movie.

I wonder if the musical rendition will be as good as the musical rendition of Evil Dead 1&2?

Thank you, dakini. I don't feel so bad now for not knowing.

Okay, I have seen the tabloid shows. That one kid is the son of darn it (I can't think) from the Princess Bride. Apparently, he doesn't have a great relationship with his mother. I understand this part!

You will come November. But definitely watch the movie if you get the chance - it's wonderful!

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



I picked the movie up on a whim when I was about 12 without knowing anything about it. Suffice to say, that was one of the best Saturday afternoons I ever spent watching movies.

Ah, so many wonderful quotables in that movie, and everybody simply rocks.

You are the brute squad!

"You mean, you'll put down your rock and I'll put down my sword, and we'll try and kill each other like civilized people? "

Buttercup: We'll never survive.
Westley: Nonsense. You're only saying that because no one ever has.

Prince Humperdinck: Surrender.
Westley: You mean you wish to surrender to me? Very well, I accept.

Let me 'splain. [pause] No, there is too much. Let me sum up.

I never thought about it till now, but it does seem that the same people that can quote Python also can quote Princess Bride.
