  Inigo Montoya made an appearance on Jeopardy!; and he brought his father’s sword with him. :-)

Apparently all you need to do to get off the call list for spam callers is pick up the phone and very emphatically insist your name is Inigo Montoya.

Edit: June 2023.... Our spam calls have drastically dropped after starting this. We've also added Optimus Prime and a hard of hearing old lady to the line up.

Also Spam callers will listen to about 35 seconds of Rick Astleys classic "Never Gonna Give You Up" before hanging up. Just in case you need to know.

we've officially reached the point in the evening where my ma becomes concerned with how well I know The Princess Bride

[microwaved-garlic-bread]

I just realized that if The Princess Bride came out now, Inigo Montoya would totally be a Sexyman.

I mean, just look at him:

Mustache

Scars

A traumatic backstory

He's seeking revenge

Uses a sword

Has daddy issues

Drunk half the time

There's definitely something fruity going on there

He becomes a pirate

He takes a knife to the gut and keeps fighting

The list goes on

Ok I think we have to agree that there's not many lines on the history of cinema with same pay off as I want my father back, you son of my bitch

You want to know why Inigo Montoya remains such an iconic and beloved character even 35 years after the Princess Bride came out?

It's because he's one of the few characters in fiction who has a story where he has dedicated his life to revenge, his whole motivation is about getting revenge....and he gets it! and then he isn't empty or despairing! he doesn't regret it! he's totally satisfied!

because so many stories about revenge or rage are about characters "seeing the futility of their actions" or learning "their desire for revenge has only made them the monsters they hated" FUCK THAT.

Inigo Montoya kills the man who kills his father, is allowed to live in the narrative after and be happy about it and it is so satisfying. it's fantastic. it's iconic.

let more characters rage against the world, bring it down with bloodied hands, and let them be FUCKING RIGHT about it. Let them celebrate their success with sharp grins, and let them live happy, full lives where they always remain proud/fulfilled for what they've done

As someone who both is bi and has adhd, if a game gives me a rapier, but not a cape to flourish while using said rapier, then the game is utterly unplayable. In this TED talk I will-
