Which Princess Bride Character are You?
this quiz was made by mysti

...which is nice, because that's the part I intend to read when we do a Princess Bride read-through this summer.

This idea has been kicking around for a while, originally belonging to elise (who I'm hoping won't hate me for stealing it as long as I don't steal the majority of her probable cast-list at the same time). Speaking of elise, she has dibs on the part of Count Rugen. romauld has claimed Inigo Montoya (sorry but he does have the l33t sword-waving skillz) :)

I'm not sure if any other parts have been specifically requested, so feel free to remind me here if we've already discussed this and you wanted something in particular. Otherwise, let's start by getting a list of interested names (and parts you might like to read), and then we can try to pick a date when we might all be able to gather (at the Catcave seems most likely).

As a memory refresher, the main and main supporting parts are:
Westley (me)
Buttercup
Inigo Montoya (chris)
Vizzini
Fezzik
Prince Humperdinck (bunni)
Count Rugen (elise)
The Grandson
The Grandfather/Narrator
The Albino
Miracle Max
Valerie
Yellin
Assistant Brute
The Clergyman
The Ancient Hag
The mother
The King
The Queen

PRACE BIDS NOW!!

Update: random people who I'd like to see play certain parts, if they happen to know and love the film, and would like to join in the fun:
James or Benjy as Vizzini
Robert B-S or t0m as Fezzic
Ellie or Helen as Buttercup
Marcus as the grandfather
Col as Miracle Max
Bec as Valerie

You already know I'm interested :) I'd enjoy playing:

Buttercup (although there are much better people out there)
Humperdinck (likewise)
Valerie
The screaming hag
The Clergyman

:D

Mainly, I have beard. But sword-waving is fun. Should we possibly be organising this for outside, so that you and I can actually play around with the satirical sword-fight? I think it'd be a damn shame not to, particularly as if there's space it also gives Elise and I the opportunity to really enjoy the scene where I kill her.

You missed off the King and Queen (though they don't say much!).

I would suggest that Valerie, the Hag and the Queen could all be played by the same person, as they're all old female characters, have minor roles, and they never appear together.

Sounds fun! I definitely want to be part of it.

I'd prefer Humperdinck (sneering upper-class evil arrogance? With my reputation?), but grandson would also be cool with M as grandfather.

Shiny :)

Although me inflicting horrible pain on you seems wrong somehow ;p

Potentially interested, definitely. :-)

I have a theory that in order to satisfy everyone I know (not to mention everyone they know), there will need to be at least three Princess Bride readthroughs over the coming couple of years. I'm almost certain to organise my own at some point (and probably to give myself Inigo, though I know I shan't be as good as romauld!), so won't mind at all if I don't get anything big in this one. Otoh, if I'm free I'd still love to be there. Oh, and I'd certainly have no objection to playing Buttercup. I'd probably have to do something quite extremely macho either before or after though, to make up for it. ;-)

apparently I am also Westley. This could cause problems.

Hah that's an amazing idea, I love that book so much :D

[ladynina.livejournal.com]

Excellent idea. Definite vote for an outside venue so you and Chris can beleered at^^^show off your skills. I've always wanted to be Miracle Max.

Bec as Valerie
You don't mean me, do you? Cos I don't do acting. And I'm not a fan of Princess Bride (yes I am half expecting to be de-friended by all and sundry for the mere suggestion, but there you are).
