honestly what a fucking iconic response. obviously “hello my name is inigo montoya” is the fucking ultimate but we were all building up this confrontation, this fight, this moment right there alongside inigo who had been doing so for 20 (twenty) fucking years ~and in all that time did he ever think the count would just run away? ha lol no~ but then the count just fucking runs away. and yes it’s a moment of perfect comedic delivery/timing, but it’s also a classic moment of subversion in this movie that is so close to being perfect if not for westley’s shitty moustache (kudos to buttercup for still loving him even after she saw that). this film dances so delicately with fulfilling and subverting tropes and it’s moments like this that just exemplifies that

And in addition to that, the movie is almost identical to the abridged version of the original story. I could literally play the movie in my head while I read it, except they could not include the zoo of horrors. 😥

But regardless, if you want a fun time, please give the book a read. It’s not long and it has some silly notes breaking it up

bold of you to assume i haven’t read the book multiple times and cried every single one

people dont blog about the princess bride enough

she doesn’t even try to walk down she just dives head first onto a fucking hill buttercup what even god i love this movie

and let’s not forget westley shouting at the bottom at buttercup TO NOT FOLLOW HIM DOWN FOR ANY REASON ABSOLUTELY DO NOT FOLLOW HIM DOWN THE HILL BECAUSE THEY BOTH WON’T BE ABLE TO GET UP BEFORE HUMPERDINCK ARRIVES but buttercup doesn’t hear so she just flings herself down and then they have their tender reunion and then they’re running down the ravine and buttercup is like ‘er where are we going’ and westley is all like ‘welp turns out the fire swamp’ and buttercup says ‘I ONCE SPENT A YEAR THINKING I WOULD DIE IN THERE’ like a drama llama and westley goes ‘lol me too. were you seven? i was’. on second thoughts this was the book not the movie but still isn’t it GREAT
