Y'know, the more I think about it, the more appropriate this icon seems.

[conuly]

See, the Bishop is a total supporter of gay rights. He's got a whole speech on how marriage is about "wuv, twue wuv". Humperdink, however (who is evil, let's not forget!) doesn't care about wuv, twue or otherwise. To him, marriage is about "man and wife, say man and wife". There is no wuv for Humperdink. And no hott sexx, of either the gay or straight variety. But that's a different issue.

_{This post has been brought to you by The Princess Bride, officially the world's most quotable movie, and also by the fact that I really hate having to have this icon. Le sigh.}

*laughs*!

Your "queer critical critique" of the Princess Bride has made my night! (and I *love* that icon, and also agree -- it's a shame it's a *necessary* one to have.)

[conuly]

Thankies.

[adiva_calandia]

You crack me up. :)

[conuly]

Aren't I right, though? Ooh! And Humperdink is trying to start a war by pinning the blame for a crime on somebody else! He's just like Bush!

The Princess Bride was psychic.

[adiva_calandia]

So where is the incredibly sexy perfect man to come sweep Laura Bush off? Wait. . . I think the metaphor just broke down.

Come to think of it, it's never clear what happens to Gilder (Guilder?). Maybe it'd be good to know, huh.

[mortaine.livejournal.com]

No way. Humperdink is so gay. He and the six fingered man, you know. Mucho with the hott gay sexx0r.

[conuly]

They're in denial. That's why they're so big into torturing others and (in the book) hunting - they're reaffirming their masculinity, without admitting that half-naked guys turn them on.

[adiva_calandia]

*falls about laughing*

Yeah! You've got the classic uber-butch guy in Humperdink, and the more refined guy in Count Rugen. And you just know they're both into leather. . .

The Princess Bride, officially the world's most quotable movie

Now here's something I can totally agree with you on!

[conuly]

The world is ending.

Seriously, I like you (platonicly), even if we are, apparently, devoted to arguing in my journal. I just hope we never meet - we might argue ourselves to death. But in a friendly fashion, I'm sure.

I feel better for saying that now. I hate it when I have friends whom I argue with, even if I like the friends themselves and don't mind the arguments.

[stejcruetekie.livejournal.com]

Oye, I do have somewhat of an argumative streak in me. My best friend and I would argue *alll* the time, in school and at work - it'd drive everyone crazy. And we'd be like "what? We're not arguing - we're discussing!"

But I'm glad somebody likes me, even if it is platonicly :)

[conuly]

*grins* If I didn't like you, I wouldn't put up with our discussions. Just glad they're not upsetting you.

[neurotica0.livejournal.com]

Is there a whole thread missing from this entry, or was I just imagining things when I read it earlier?

[conuly]

What'd the thread say?

[neurotica0.livejournal.com]

It was something about you needing the icon, then someone was confused, then they understood why it's bad that you need it, then someone said that we could still celebrate marriage equality once it's been achieved.

[conuly]

This? That's what prompted this post.

[neurotica0.livejournal.com]

Yep, that's it.

Haha. I mixed up the posts.

[eofs.livejournal.com]

Given that I've never seen The Princess Bride, Humperdink just makes me think of Engelbert Humperdink, an old singer who comes from my parts and has a thoroughly silly name.

[conuly]

You've never seen the Princess Bride?

For shame.

Here's the script.

[adiva_calandia]

On the quotability thing, I thought you might appreciate this. We were a running a scene in the show I'm in (Midsummer Night's Dream) and the director said, "Let's skip to the end of the scene."

Paul: *under his breath* Skip to the end.
Me: Have you the wing?
Mark: Man and wife!

A few days earlier, Paul had another actor on his back, and someone said, "Don, don't do anything dirty up there."

Don: Is that even possible?
Paul: It's possible, pig.

It made me think of you. :) I love my cast.
