Finally just watched The Princess Bride,

I fell victim to one of the classic blunders (drawing a load of fan art when I should have been working)
The Princess Bride (1987) studies
who will dare try to a remake this masterpiece
Okay guys AITA?
Okay hey guys so like you know how I was gonna marry that girl on the farm so I waent and tried to get money for our wedding and then pirates killed me? Well-- the saga continues. SO like I am the pirate king now and like u know how Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while ? Well I was just going to get back to the girlI like who is now being kidnapped by these dueds. One of them was this rlly good swardaman like suuuper good and then I beat him., But I felt sooo bad cause like he was gonna go avenge his father by being the best swords man but I beat him so idk I feel bad bevcause myabe he is not inspired anymore. But I got with ,my girldiend! Just wrestled a giant rat man.
“As you wish” was all he ever said to her. That day, she was amazed to discover that when he was saying “as you wish”, what he meant was “I love you”.
THE PRINCESS BRIDE — 1987, dir. Rob Reiner
+ BONUS:
I actually did call it, but only because I recognized him from his more recent role as dashing international art thief Pierre Despereaux in Psych, which is a pretty solid intermediate phase between Westley and Mayor Jerkface.
I was just as surprised as you to learn that Despereaux was Westley, as I recall, back when I was first googling him. Like I think I thought he looked familiar but I couldn’t place him. (Then I ended up writing more than half of the Psych Wiki page on Despereaux but that’s another story.)
But it was hilarious because my mom, who has also seen Psych and Princess Bride, totally thought I was wrong. I looked at the mayor and I was like “hey, that’s Despereaux” and she was like “Nah, I sort of see the resemblance but that isn’t him”. Then I looked it up and it was; it’s bloody Cary Elwes. I’m very proud of my facial recognition skills, which are frequently lacking but in this case were spot on.
Although, to be fair, I also kept getting the mayor and the newspaper guy mixed up, to the point where I briefly thought that the mayor also ran the newspaper, and when I learned they were separate I had no idea which one was Heather’s dad, so I guess that’s 1 win and 1 loss for my facial recognition skills after all.
(Also Pierre Despereaux is the #1 best side character in Psych and if you love Westley, I highly recommend you watch Despereaux’s episodes on Psych. The first one is called Extradition: British Columbia and it’s great and you should watch it...)
