I finally watched The Princess Bride last night.  Unfortunately, I kept getting interrupted so I saw it in pieces. It was... okay.  I don't know if it was because the game we just finished spoiled me on a couple of plot points (the Man in Black = Westley reveal and the succession of Dread Pirate Roberts in particular), or because I wasn't expecting the lines I have heard quoted so often to be delivered in such an understated way (I almost missed "I don't believe it means what you think it means"), or what.  I enjoyed it, but it's not like Holy Grail on my "I want to see it again and again" list.

I don't know.  The person who lent me the movie suggested it's because I don't have any nostalgia for it, not having seen it when I was younger.  I really enjoyed certain parts, like Billy Crystal and Carol Kane, or the sword fight between Westley and Inigo that went on ridiculously long. But it didn't bowl me over the way I expected to be by a movie that is so widely quoted.

I get it. I've seen other movies that people rave about and come away wondering, "Why?"

 

In a separate note, my favorite quote wasn't able to be used in this game.
