The Princess Bride

I remember walking through the video rental store with my dad in 5th grade. He picked the movie this time, when we walked into the Drama section, he looked at me  and said “It isn’t really a drama, don’t worry.” I was still skeptical. The name also didn’t help Princesses and Brides were against everything my 10 year old self wanted to believe in, neither really interested me.

And then I watched it… probably 3 times before we returned it. I really hate watching movies back to back, but this one I don’t care. You could probably leave this one looping and I’d be happy.  I’m not sure why I love this movie so much. Could be because my dad introduced it to me. I could be because it is not the normal Princess story. It could be Cary Ewes coming back from the dead? Well mostly dead.

I went to a comicbook convention with my dad when I was 14 or 15 I think. I bought a bumper sticker for my future car.  I have a tshirt that says “Hello my name is Inigo Montoya.” ( Which you should not wear out in public where people may be legitimately wearing stickers like that. It confuses people.)

I’m not at my limit for words. This may just require me to watch it again and finish this later.
