I watched it. It was good, great even. A nice, refreshing take on a classic story. And yes, the cast was absolutely top notch. I wasn't completely blown away by it, but I think if I watched this movie with some friends as opposed to be myself I'd have enjoyed it even more. Probably would hold true if I watched it five years ago as opposed to now.

Now this part though, are you being serious when you say this?

    It's also probably one of the movies that had the most impact on the girls you date so you oughtta know it.

That last bit is probably more true if you're dating women who were born between 1975 and 1985. I suspect that's not your main demographic. But, if you ever go cougaring, make sure you can throw a few lines.

I don't see any situation where I would end up going cougaring. Fun story, I once lived in a place where one of the bars was named "Cougars". Lets just say I never, ever set foot in there.

I currently don't know a single person in my "main demographic" ( / what I'm looking for) but that's an entirely separate issue.

Chicks in their 30s aren't so bad. Experience and all. Hell, I took a 44 year old home when I was like 26 (election night '08; crazy time that was). There's no shame. You'll probably learn something, and she'll feel good about herself. It's a complete and utter win/win.

Hi. This appears to be something that warrants a story, I think. For my previous comment, see also: I don't know a single girl older than...26? Excluding family members.

Well I never said she was attractive :)

Election night '08 was an infamous day.

Dead serious. Princess Bride is a major chick flick. That "true love" "My Westley" stuff goes over pretty well with the fair sex in my experience.
