Alright I don’t know how well this is going to go but I promised last night I’d live tweet my first time watching The Princess Bride. So this will be an ongoing thread for 1.5hrs. let’s do this.

Before the movie started I had a Covid flashback. Turns out it was Fred Savage’s character “The Grandson” coughing. This didn’t age well.

Grandfather reminds me of @HunterCrowder6 showing up to the ratio pile on. “I’m here!!”

Wait wait wait. It’s Columbo!!!!!

“As you wish” I need this from my children.

When she truly loved him back why didn’t she say “as you wish?” She instead says Farm Boy fetch me that pitcher.

“Is this a kissing book?” I hear ya little Kevin Arnold. That’s what I said when I first read Song of Solomon.

I can not NOT hear Columbo at this point. Im waiting for “just one more thing.”

Ok brief pause boys just came out of bed. BRB.

Ok resining.

*resuming

Oldest son just came in from work. Saw the scene of the princess being abducted. He said “who he just grabbed her like it was nothing.” Of course he did that’s Andrea the Giant.

Never and I repeat never look Andre the Giant in the eyes and call him a “land bass”

Cannot believe she would jump into eel infested waters.

Eel infested waters is sometimes my Twitter TL. Keep swimming and they devour you.

Y’all when Andre the Giant bopped that eel on the head and rescued the princes out fo the water took me back to Wrestlemania III

525lb man with 3 people on his back rope scaling a cliff.

“He didn’t fall?! Inconceivable!”

“People in masks cannot be trusted” - James White

“My father was slaughtered by a 6 finger man”

This fencing scene is art but could use a better score behind it.

Really and truly that fencing scene was a bit anti climatic. Much like watching the Theo Bros twitter debates.

Only difference is no one yelled “REPENT!!!” “SLANDER!!!” “I’m suing!!!”

Just heard the “everyone will be wearing them in the future” mask line.

I feel it is important I draw attention to his mask not being the same as our masks today. It only covers his eyes.

Ok so he just got past Andre the Giant. That whole scene was really reminiscent of Wreatle Mania III when @HulkHogan attempted to body slam Andre and couldn’t lift him up.

“Ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, socrates? Morons”.

Good Lord this is sounding more and more like Christian Twitter.

Can we start calling our Christian twitter debates the Battle of Whits? Please.

“Never get involved in a land war in Asia” now I know where that line is from.

The princess sat for an “inconceivable” amount of time patiently still and quite while the Battle of Whits endured.

“What is that worth the promise of a woman” “where I come from there are penalties when a woman lies” so now Patriarchy twitter has reared it’s ugly head.

Assssss yoooouuuuu wwiiiiisshhhh. what am I watching? Hahahahahahaha?!

I knew it!!!!!!!!! He is the Farm Boy he is the farm boy.

Sweet we are back in Kev’s bedroom with Columbo. Waiting for the two of them to light up a Churchill together.

What I would do for the Farm Bous blond wavy hair with a pony tail. Man dudes hair style and mustache aged well.

So the eels come back at any point? I just felt like they were the best supporting actors so far.

They almost looked like a tremor when they came up out do the water.

Y’all!!! That quick sand pit and opossum creature! What in the name of special effects.

This.

This whole scene is like watching Strangers Things upside down being in Narnia.

Oh snap. It’s the 6 finger man.

Whelp this now makes sense.

The Machine just sucked 1 year of Westly’s life away. Very prophetic of this quarantine.

At times I feel like this could be a serious drama than I remember the scene of Westly and Buttercup rolling down the hill.

“Not to 50!!”

Whoa. Is that Billy Crystal?

“I never work for so little just once and it was a noble cause” - James MacDonald

And Carol Kane! Yes!

These two are great together. Need a spin off. Is it too late for a spin off?

Again Westleys mustasch is on point.

There it is...”Mawage is wot bwings us togeder today.”

Holy burning effigy. This scene is dark.

Hahahahaha. I just giggled at the 6 finger man running away from Montoya.

Buttercup No!!!!!!! Don’t kill your self.

ok Kev didn’t stop grandad at the “there’s a shortage of breasts in this world today” line?

Westley is a master of psychological warfare.

Oh little Kev now wants to hear about a kissing scene. It was that whole “shortage of breasts” line that got his adolescences horn bone.

Whelp. That’s it. I finally watched The Princess Bride and managed to live tweet the experience. It was good and now a lot of pop culture memes make sense. Disney Plus recommends I watch Willow next. Im certian that is a hard pass.

Going to go back through and read comments.
