Never seen the movie.

what a sad, sad day in the life of clamum, to realize such a thing.

no worries, all you need to do is update your netflix queue and you're well on your way to joining the rest of the culturally-educated world

it is a great flick.

Period.

If you don't get princess bride references, you don't deserve to be entertained by xkcd.

i went out with a girl who had never seen the princess bride. so i made her watch it....

bitch said shed never watch it again. screw her!

i bought this shirt

:thumbsup: to every line.

You dumped her, right?

.....But after the angry sex?

Great movie, and an even better book. Good stuff.

 

[DestinyKnight]

I keep hoping for a version with those crappy Fred Savage scenes edited out...otherwise, it's a great movie.

 

[MotionMan]

One of the first movies I ever saw with my now-wife.

I must quote that movie daily.

I don't "deserve" to enjoy XKCD because I haven't seen some shitty chick flick (yeah all I know about this film is the first couple of sentences on Wikipedia). Whatever.

xkcd is like that fairly often. Sometimes he seems to put so much effort just into making a particular reference that he forgets to also make a joke.

You forget, the princess bride is on the dawn of recorded history for most of ATOT. I always wondered how many posters saw the original Star Wars when it was released in the theaters.

The first movie I remember seeing was Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
It was at the drive in.

I made that mistake the first time when I was a kid.
"Princess Bride? Yeah, no thanks, I'm gonna go play."
Then I saw it a couple years later, and found out it was awesome.

I do. It's my first memory as kid, and I was almost 4 years old in June of 1977 (born in Sept '74) when we saw it. I remember waiting in line for over 2 hours, and then the power going out in our showing, during the cantina scene. A car hit a power pole, and we had to come back at a later date.

I don't remember that showing, though.

I think thats part of the problem. This movie was never as popular as it could have been because the name is "Princess Bride". It totally sounds like a chick flick. Wasn't there a series of chick flicks in the 90s with a VERY similar name?

I think every guy makes this mistake the first time they hear about it, but I don't think I've ever met anyone who didn't like it. for a span of like 6 months in high school I would watch it literally once a week. I could recite it almost word for word.

The OP made one of the classic blunders.

The first of which is never get involved in a land war in Asia.

The second blunder, only slightly less well known, is never go against ATOT when movie quotes are on the line!
