> [@furthur](#): > > Actually, “inconceivable” is quite a prominent quote from the movie. I don’t think **Stark Raven Mad** had a problem with the definition of the word; you’ve accidentally missed the context. Well, isn’t that the pot accusing the kettle of having accidentally missing the context! **Stark Raven Mad** said “Inconceivable!”, quoting Vizzini\* from the movie\*\*. **Feydeau** chimed in with the follow-up quote “I don’t think that word means what you think it means”, Inigo’s response to Vizzini’s repeated use of the word. \*Wallace Shawn’s greatest role! \*\*the movie for sure, I haven’t read the book in years- don’t remember if the quote is in the book or not. ---

And, for the record, I, like most people here no doubt, think Princess Bride absolutely rocked, Bush is a freaking chimp, conservative politics is mostly just selfish stupidity with a large campaign chest to sell it to the public and the only reason America is going to hell in a handbasket is that the stupid people are breeding faster than the smart ones and keep voting chimps into office. ---

And lol to **bienville**. I doubt I could pull off the Dread Pirate bit, although I’ve always loved witty and dextrous heros, I doubt I could use a sowrd with my right hand to any real effect, let alone my left. ---

I first saw it when I was about 11 and was quite “meh” about the whole thing. Later on, when I was about 14, my friends and I had a “Cary Elwess Movie Mayhem-athon Sleepover” and it was like a whole new movie. I think it’s my favorite move now, 10 years later.
