The Lisa Files Quiz No. 3 - Picture This...

Holy Toledo Sandie....

You are priceless.....

I love how your stories always have a touch of the macabre... for some reason my mind just doesn't go there.

But Kev? wow.... brave girl... I'm pretty sure Waterworld wouldn't be any good even on a wall sized TV. Not sure I'd want to be married to a cadaver either though.

I screw up my nose and bravely see Miracle Max who declares him only mostly dead.

Sandie - you are a legend. Only you could manage to get Miracle Max into a story about soup, ladders, and flowers!!

[mushu mama]

I had to google who Miracle Max was... sheesh... I need to watch more movies.

I had to google who Miracle Max was... sheesh... I need to watch more movies. Lisa.

The Princess Bride is one of the greatest movies ever made!! You've never seen it? Inconceivable!!

Don't go to work today Lisa. Go straight to the video store! You must hire that film!! Or buy the DVD or something...

One of the greatest films of all time! It has some of the greatest dialogue ever put on film.

[mushu mama]

wow.... I have obviously missed a pivotal movie experience.
my apologies... I need education it would seem. Where have I been I wonder?

in my defense.... I have watched LOTS of movies... just not that one.

And while I am indeed not going to work today ( grumble grumble.... I need the money) by this time of day on a Friday I am in full swing preparation for scrap night which requires photos to be processed, supplies to be gathered, layout ideas to steal and then the whole 6 bags/boxes and tools trolly to be hoisted in the back of my 4WD ready for a lot of laughs and a lot of chocolate and coke - oh.... and a little scrapping.

But I make you both this solemn vow to watch that movie before the weekend is over.
I'll tell you what I thought when I'm done.

See, now Lisa if you'd seen the movie, you'd know that when you were told to stay home today your reply should have been "As you wish" I haven't seen the Princess Bride for at least a decade. Maybe I should hunt down a copy to buy.

[ajp]

Don't be so hard on yourself Lisa, I haven't seen it either.

[mushu mama]

I think you better duck Anthony....

Inconceivable Don't you know that its one of the best movies ever made?

Don't go to work today Anthony.... go straight down to your local video store and hire Princess Bride... you must watch it.
I'll expect a full report when you're done.

(is there an echo in here?)

Lisa.

Lisa you will love it - we watch it a lot!

My three favorite shirts at the moment read:

Never go up against a Sicilian when death is on the line

Turns Out I'm Only Mostly Dead

and the best one has a little area that looks like one of those My Name IS stickers you get at meetings and on it it reads: My Name Is .....Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die

Got them on http://www.cafeexpress.com

I picked up the deluxe 2 disc version in Kmart a couple of days ago for about $17.

Greg

[mushu mama]

OK... I'm about to start watching the Princess Bride... the video store didn't have a copy ( I thought you guys said this was a classic)
So I went straight to Kmart and bought the deluxe 2 disc edition ( not for $17 ) so it better be good.

Ok... off to watch this piece of cinematic brilliance on my normal sized TV.

Lisa.

[sandie]

Well its 9.06 now so we should get the review soon - right?

Sandie

[mushu mama]

how could I have missed this movie for that many years?

Inconceivable..... (that had me in stitches)

Boy... you guys must have seen it a lot, quoting so many of the lines....

let me start off by saying that I was up against the firing squad when I brought out that movie and announced that I'd bought it rather than the one the kids had been angling for ( National Treasure 2). Zach went off to work unconcerned about having to miss the movie and Millie grumbled rather loudly with the usual ,"Geez mum... why did you pick such a gay movie".

A full one and a half minutes in ....and that first kiss.... and I was a convert.

Loved it from start to finish... and I might add that it wasn't long and my daughter was laughing harder than I was at the jokes....
Bingo... two converts.

Now I understand your T-shirts Sandie. ... I thought they were funny before I knew what they were referring to.

I'll need to watch it again before I remember the jokes, but Miracle Max was probably my favourite.

So Princess Bride gets my tick of approval.
Not as good as 'Ever After' or 'Lady Hawke' though... they take some beating.

Lisa.

Now I can go to bed happy.......
