The Princess Bride - Page 3

Dwarven Sen · 03-14-2002, 05:30 AM

i have not read the book but it is one of my favourite films i had to watch it when i was younger because my dad made me watch labyrinth and it scarred me for the rest of my life i had to watch TPB to recover. My mum jumped once when she was watching him chuck the rock at wes and spilt red wine down her white works dress

I haven't read te book yet. But I've seen the movie a ton of times in school. I think it is one of my favorites.

One of these days I would like to read the book.

Eruviel Greenleaf · 03-23-2002, 03:53 AM

I've read the book, seen the movie, both many, many times. The movie is just one of those things where I am at a birthday party or something and we always watch it and I'm not sick of it yet! I LOVE both the book and the movie. It's been a while since I've seen it, but I can still quote from it and stuff. I even started going around saying "I am Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." in Spanish. There is some incredible fight choreography in there, not just the amazing scene on the top of the cliffs of insanity.

"Because I know something you don't know."
"And what is that?"
"I am not left handed!"

It's great.

Anytime somebody says some quote from it randomly I of course know what it is from and who said it and everything. You all can probably tell I really love this book/movie!

I'll stop raving about it now!

Finrod Felagund · 04-08-2002, 02:37 PM

I'd have to say it's one of my favourite movies, along with LoTR of course!
The sword fight is amazing!

***azalea*** · 04-15-2002, 09:27 AM

So did anyone watch it last night? It was on cable. I watched it for the hundredth time.

TwirlingString · 04-15-2002, 08:29 PM

THe movie is cool, and I've read some of the books. Which ending do you like the most, the everyone lives happy ever after, everyone dies, or the everyone lives but mostly live in fear for the rest of their lives?

Lady of Darkness · 04-22-2002, 08:35 PM

I have only seen the movie but my brother read the book.
"*bang* *bang*
Miricle Max: Go away! Can't you see we're closed?
Fesic: I'm looking for Miricle Max
Miricle Max: I'm him. Now go away before I call the brute squad
Fesic: I'm on the brute squad
Miricle Max takes a good look at him and says: you are the brute squad."
HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE
I love the movie. The best part is the fight between Inigo and the six-fingered man.

Finrod Felagund · 05-04-2002, 04:28 PM

I LOVE THE PRINCESS BRIDE!!!!

*Finrod grins sheepishly when he realizes how loudly he's been yellin*

THERES A PRINCESS BRIDE BOOK?!? COOL! who wrote it?

***HOBBIT*** · 05-09-2002, 10:04 PM

uhm the movie came after the book. By: William Goldman.

Although the book is called The Princess Bride: S. Morgenstern's Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure (The 'Good Parts' Version).

Faramir · 05-12-2002, 01:40 AM

2 words: Good Movie!

***IronParrot*** · 05-12-2002, 01:54 AM

While I liked the movie a lot, and I saw it before I read the book it was based on, it holds no beans next to the book, I can tell you that.

Well, specifically, the grandpa reading to the Wonder Years kid just does not do justice to Goldman's narrative asides.

Polkat · 05-12-2002, 11:47 AM

I own [ed] both and I have to say I like the movie better. Mind you I only got to read the book once as I stupidly lent it to my best friend who now denys all knowledge of it and I haven't seen it since.

I adore this movie too. I think I said that already. Doesn't matter, is worth saying again. I love the Princess Bride although I do not get the title. I recon Morgenstein could've come up with something better if he tried.

Also I dunno if this has been answered already coz I only actually read the first page of posts but the origional book was written by S. Morgenstein which is what the grandpa told that boy in the story. Now my copy of the book [fuming over it's loss now] had a little introduction by William Goldburn. Basically he was that little boy and the guy reading it to him was his father. Then later on when he had his own son he sent the book to him for Christmas but the son soon got bored with it becuas of countless descriptions etc etc. So Goldburn wrote the adaptation I have and the movie which I taped off the tv [god this post is long]

I think I'm done now. I hope someone bothers to actually read all this.

Eruviel Greenleaf · 05-12-2002, 06:58 PM

I read your post, Polkat. But I suggest you read the rest of the thread. . .S. Morgenstern didn't exist, as far as I know.

Polkat · 05-13-2002, 11:46 AM

I'm almost positive he did, I just wish I hadn't lent the book to my friend. But he was a genius with lanuages and translated his own book about 5 times into different lanuages. I hate people who are that clever.

I'd also like to apologise for embarressing myself by writing morgenstien twice. I show total lack of knowledge and deserve to be shunned [please don't by the way.]

My favourite line if I haven't said this already is:
" Hear this now. I will always come for you."
"But how can you be sure"
"This is true love. You think this happens everyday?"

Actually stole it off my friend, it's her fav line i do love it though. Mine is:
"We'll never survive"
"Nonsense. You're only saying that because no one ever has."
But i recon someone's written that already.

***IronParrot*** · 05-13-2002, 07:37 PM

No, he didn't. Of course, that fooled even me at first...
