This is where we all can discuss about how great The Princess Bride is.  ;D

And also post a lot of memes.

So, first up, book or movie?

I haven't read the book yet, but I like the movie. (Now to find all those memes I posted on Discord...)

Plus all the ones you posted on here.

As I said... somewhere..., the movie is one of the best adaptations I've seen of anything. It may be just because I'm not as familiar with the book as I am with other things, and so didn't remember all the book details, but the movie is awesome. I kept laughing at bits that wouldn't be funny if you didn't understand what was going on.  :D

Heh. I was reading them out to Dad and Moa and he pointed out that the first one was prophetic. Everybeast does wear masks.
    I have a shiny thing! See?



And another shiny thing:



And also some random, unnecessary coding.[/li][/list]

YES this film (and book). Classic!! ;D Got the video when me and my siblings were young children and grew up with it, so it has a special place in our hearts. :p First read the book a few years back. :)

*Spit take* You showed 'em?! *Faints* Is nothing I do a secret? Huh?!  :laugh: (Glad they enjoyed it, though)

Favorite character from the Princess Bride, anyone?

As I've said, I'm not sure.

I checked the book earlier and the mask quote isn't there, sadly. Must have been added for the movie.

You may post as many Princess Bride memes as you wish. Wanting to post none is inconceivable.



Or, as the book says: "Fencing. Fighting. Torture. Poison. True Love. Hate. Revenge. Giants. Hunters. Bad men. Good men. Beautifulest Ladies. Snakes. Spiders... Pain. Death. Brave men. Cowardly men. Strongest men. Chases. Escapes. Lies. Truths. Passion. Miracles."
