Sorry I didn’t realize I was speaking to a PHILISTINE

Absolutely loving the contrast between chill lovely singing voice and

“IT’S SONIC YOU DUMB FUCK”

The face of disappointment

Not to be “Princess Bride” on main, but one of the most underrated lines in the movie is when Vizzini is being chased by boat and Inigo says (paraphrased) “He’s catching up!! I wonder if he is using the same wind we are using”

I love it because it’s clear Wesley has to catch up in order for the story to move forward, but it wouldn’t really make sense because that’s not how boats work. The line addresses that fact that you’d find in a nitpickers review (up there with “THE DEATH STAR EXPLOSION WOULD BE SILENT!!!”), but does so in a way that’s almost making light of the discrepancy. Sorta being like “huh, yeah…that doesnt make sense, does it, but hey we’re in this for a light-hearted story, not accuracy”. It’s probably the best example of Lampshade Hanging, since it keeps the tone light-hearted and it draws attention to it without actively saying “this doesn’t make sense” and breaking that sort of immersion.

I just really like The Princess Bride.

Not to be a wet blanket, but it is perfectly possible and practical for ships to travel at very different speeds using the “same wind.” Underwater design, sail plans, hull fouling and ship management will all play a part in how fast a particular ship will go.

You are not considered a wet blanket in this respect, as I learned something new thanks to you. Either way, the line still manages to draw a few chuckles from me due to how it draws attention to the irregularity of the situation and simply because I’m just kind of a Princess Bride Stan. Your knowledge of ships will not go unappreciated, my good friend.

I would like it to be known that almost every time my family goes sailing (and we have some hardcore seasoned sailors in the mix), we wonder aloud whether another boat is using the same wind we are using. This includes the family who have done sailboat racing and are deeply familiar with the way boats differ. It’s a great line and great way to relieve stress when you’re barely moving and that upstart over there is flying along.
