Which movie is it? You can't leave a review like that without a title!
- The Princess Bride! Sorry, I guess in my head it was inconceivable that everyone wouldn't already know it.
  
  You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means
  
  Never seen this movie, should I?
- The Princess Bride
- Robin Hood: Men in Tights
  
  No, this is clearly Saw
  
  You misspelt Dances with Wolvesheads.
  
  Bury my heart at wounded knee
- You're in for quite a treat my friend
  
  Strange name for a movie, only if because of how long it is
- The Princess Bride! It's the best sick day movie there is.
- Dear Zachary. It's a really sweet little film!
Obligatory "you should go read Tress of the Emerald Sea" post

Similar story but with badass heroine. Would love to see it get made into video!
- I actually really hated the book, which was a big surprise to me, since I love Princess Bride and most of Sanderson. But man, the narrator was way more grating and unfunny to me than Princess Bride's.
  
  Sanderson usually isn't funny for me, which is usually fine, but Tress relied on humor too much imo
  
  Sorry to hear you didn't like it! I rather enjoy Hoid/Wit's perspective but maybe that's because I knew him before I read Tress?
  
  Edit: If you do not care for Sanderson's humor avoid Alcatraz vs the Evil Librarians, it relies on it heavily!
Is this a kissing movie?!?
A friend gave me the board game last week, randomly without knowing if I like the movie.

Of course I am eagerly anticipating the first playthrough.
- It's just assumed that everyone likes this movie. We're not monsters.
- My spouse and I have played a couple times. Everything's decently made, we've had fun with just us, but I can see where having the full 4 would be the best experience.
  
  Can't speak of the solo play. Kinda tempted to set the game up and throw the movie on for it one day, though.
And a note for anyone who missed it, most of the original cast got together for a virtual table read of the script during the pandemic.

[There's also a pandemic home movie version with a whole bunch of actors.]
- Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

As you wish...
- My app is handling this link to kbin strangely, but I can see it.
  
  I haven't counted my fingers in a while, but it's possible.
  
  Here's a more more direct route if you're one of Dread Roberts' crew... just posted it over on the @13thFloor to preserve the link in case any of the mods here were Humperdinck agents looking for volunteers to test the Pit of Despair.
I love this movie. I love the book. I love everything about it.
