The Princess Bride (1987) dir. Rob Reiner
#murder me#the princess bride#I used to think they were only good because of their chemistry and faces#(bc they actually say so little)#but the script deserves so much credit too#because even though they barely speak they say ENOUGH#and then Cary and Robin fill the spaces in between with such TRUTH#I’m obsessed with the balance in writing romance between saying too much and not enough#both pitfalls and commonly made mistakes#the princess bride strikes that balance perfectly#this exchange alone says so so so much#through their words and their expressions#the moment starts out so Playfully Hard#she’s still in her bossing him around/tossing her head at him mode#but then he stands up and looks at her Like That#and she’s suddenly caught off guard by his humanity on a deeper level#so she softens and adds the please#almost as an apology- or at least an expression of gratitude#like she knows she’s just been kind of unfair (even if just in a fun way)#and then he Looks At Her Like That Again#and says what he always says#As you wish#and he’s so deliberate with it#and it’s like- it’s like#[screams into the void]#it’s like he’s saying ‘I don’t care what you ask me to do or how you ask me to do it’#‘I will always love you and I will always do what you ask me to do’#he’s almost (almost) laughing at her a little#but more than that he’s being pointed#to let her know he loves her and look at her face in the last gif. it takes!
Me after this post:
So often allo-hetero love stories frustrate me and a lot of people assume that means that I hate them. I don’t. I’m just comparing them all in my head to the princess bride and the majority of them don’t pass the bar of believability or chemistry or entertainment that this masterpiece of a movie has set up in my brain.
You know what’s funny?
They never actually explain why they’re in love.
In that way, the story is very shallow.
But ARE they in love? Who could doubt it? Look at them! Look at the risks they take and the lengths they go to for each other!

A new up and coming hotshot villain has made a terrible mistake. They have taken the local hero’s baby sitter hostage. However it turns out this babysitter also works for quite a few other notable heros and even villains all of which are not at all happy that their sitter has been taken.

A super villain who runs a number of retail stores, not as a cover, but as a means of recruiting their staff as villainous side-kicks once they are inevitably filled with seething rage for customers and the general public.

genuinely the first venom movie was so funny bc everyone involved seriously hated it and thought it was a hackjob and then it premiered and suddenly some people LIKED it but only like. gay people and monster fuckers. i don’t think im being too much of a conspiracy theorist sony literally made an official recut trailer comparing venom to a romcom like they understood that that was the movie they made instead of a straight deadpool knockoff (which it sorta was supposed to be). but venom made enough money to justify a sequel so suddenly you, sony entertainment, are faced with two decisions. either make a normal, “respectable” superhero blockbuster with maybe a coy wink here or there, or up the ante and make it even MORE weird and romantic. i think of ALL the current superhero movies out there, which tend to be quite conservative cash grabs, this is the one that has the greatest chance of on screen explicit tentacle porn and i for one am rooting for that outcome

You were born with the ability of a Disney Princess. You can speak to animals and birds love it when you sing. As the most feared mafia boss in New York, it’s tough, but you make it.

Everytime you think of a funny joke, this girl in your class always laughs, you chalk it up to coincidence but you think to yourself, “If you can read my mind, slap the table three times” the the girl looks over at you, stares right into your eyes, and slowly slaps the table two times.

The plan was simple. As the superior fighter, you would keep the Dark Lord stuck in an infinite fight until the chosen one could finish him off. No one told you about the part where the hero dies, forcing you to keep the Dark Lord occupied for 18 years waiting for their reincarnation.

You die every time you use your short distance teleportation spell. You know this because of the short bone-chilling scream of pain and agony from your previous self. You’ve made peace with this, and mastered it. At least until the spell ranked up, and no longer killed you.

When we get to space, we learn that humans aren’t the “space orcs” we expected. In fact, we’re closer to space elves: the most elegant, the least brutish and violent and warlike, and the longest lived by far.
