Sapphic techie from the Midwest. Aspiring author. Don’t ask how many kids I have if you don’t have time for a story. I never skip a biopic.

Anyway, now I appreciate how the movie works, but I have to treat them as totally independent experiences.

And the experience of the movie just doesn’t resonate to me the way the experience of the book does.

When I saw the movie as a teen, I didn’t have the context to understand how the tongue-in-cheek humor served the same role.

It felt like the movie was making fun of the book, which was very offensive to my autistic teen brain, because it was Serious Literature to me.

It’s one of my heart books.

I read it at 13 because a character in a Marauder’s era HP ff recommended it.

The meta commentary rewired my brain. I haven’t been satisfied with a single pov since.

I took Buttercup’s post-crisis transformation ritual instructionally.

The Princess Bride is a book I adore and a movie I understand the cultural appeal of.

Anyone else?
