Princess Bride. Every single person I talk to says it's about true love but it's really the most important lesson is to never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line.
Misunderstanding The Princess Bride is one of the classic blunders, right up there with getting involved in a land war in Asia
They committed one of the classic blunders!
No it isn't. Its a public health statement warning people about being "Mostly Dead".
Truthfully it is a revenge movie ... "Hello, my name is ..."
I don't know, seems pretty inconceivable.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
It's about fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles...
AND KISSING

lol - I love the lack of context the inbox gives so I was thinking "...what did I say???" - makes me laugh every time something like this happens. :)
Some day you might not mind so much.
I’m sad he never ended up completing the sequel Buttercup's Baby. I read the sample chapter ages ago and was very excited about it, but I’m pretty sure the author has died since.
Then again we already have The Fitz and the Fool books by Robin Hobb, which I think hit a lot of the same notes we would have gotten.
Maybe when Stephen King finally finishes his abridgement.
Am part Sicilian, can confirm.
I'm gonna go in against you because death isn't on the line.
