I have always meant to watch it, but somehow have just never gotten around to doing it. Of course, here on the SDMB, I think that puts me in a distinct minority, but I’m used to being the odd one out.
But finally I went to FYE, for the express purpose of picking up this movie (after being chastened by a friend’s horrified gasp when I declared that I hadn’t seen it) and, after several failed attempts, finally got a chance to watch it.
Last night. On the train. The guy sitting next to me kept looking at me oddly, probably because I kept failing at stifling my laughter. What a great movie. I’m reminded of a thread someone started a while ago saying that they had finally started reading the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and that suddenly a lot of catchphrases here on the Dope started to make sense. Finally, I have a new relevance for “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” And while I always understood that Inigo Montoya was a Princess Bride reference, now I can appreciate it that much more. And is it here that we have a poster named “Only Mostly Dead”? (If not, it might be at another board I used to frequent.)

Vizzini: Not remotely! Because iocaine comes from Australia, as everyone knows. And Australia is entirely peopled with criminals. And criminals are used to having people not trust them as you are not trusted by me, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you.
One quote that me and my family do all the time, yet no one knows what we’re talking about is “Boo! Boo! Boo!” only it sounds more like “boaw! boaw! boaw!”
And then we’ll call each other the Queen of Slime and the King of Filth and, our all time favorite, the Queen of Putrescence.
