6 Things You Didn't Notice While Watching 'The Princess Bride'

"The Princess Bride" is an amazing movie that does not fall into one specific category. It has romance, action, drama and comedy It is a movie that has become a classic, and I know that I will share this movie with my future children, as will many others. "The Princess Bride" is by far my favorite movie. That being said, I have seen it over a hundred times. I can't speak for everyone, but whenever I have watched a movie several times I tend to look for things I have never seen before. I am about to tell you the things I have seen and/or considered while watching "The Princess Bride," but first here are some examples of things to find in movies.

You could look for any of the Disney Easter eggs, such as Scar in "Hercules" or Eugene and Rapunzel in "Frozen," another could be any small detail in the Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings movies because we all know how much detail was put into them! Here are my thoughts after watching "The Princess Bride" again:

*SPOILER ALERT: If you have not seen "The Princess Bride," first of all GO WATCH IT, and secondly, do not read this article until you do, because there are a few spoilers!

1. Were Count Rugen and Prince Humperdinck lovers?


This is a legitimate thought! Prince Humperdinck and Count (Tyrone) Rugen were very close. They tortured, planned, and hung out together. He might be the only person besides himself that Prince Humperdinck cares about. Also, Buttercup is said to be the most beautiful in all the land, so why didn't the prince just marry her instead of trying to kill her to start a war?

2. Is the old lady in Buttercup's dream a reflection of herself?


This was Buttercup's dream and people do say that people in our dreams reflect ourselves. Buttercup was probably disgusted with herself after leaving Westley behind so this reflection of herself is disgusted with her. Also, they both have blue eyes and similar face shape. I sure hope Robin Wright doesn't grow old this way!

3. Did everyone in the Royal Family learn how to balance at a young age?


Look at those crowns. How could anyone stand up with that on their head? I'm thinking this is when walking while balancing a book on your head comes in handy!

4. Has Fezzik ever met any women his size?


Fezzik was a big guy! Were there any women his size? For his sake, I sure hope so because he was such a sweetie!

6. How did the grandfather read that long book in one day?


Look at that book. It's a pretty big book! I have personally read the novel by William Goldman/S. Morgenstern and it takes a while to get through that book. Granted this is a movie so everything isn't timed out correctly, but come on there is no way the grandfather could've read that book in one day!

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
