Man, Gordo is totally hot for a pre-teen boy TV star from a country millions of miles away.

That's... disturbing. He is funny, though. As are so many characters on that show - Gordo, Matt, Lanny, Ethan, Lizzie's parents - it's so delightful. The only boring characters, really, are Lizzie and Miranda. Apart from them, it's all gold.

Yet I still haven't seen it. I suppose I could always use the 'I'm a foreigner' excuse.
Is The Princess Bride that one where one guy's trying to poison the other and they keep swapping glasses (I think?). If it is, it's a classic.

I've lived here since being born, and I've not seen it. And never will. I suppose I'll just have to use the "it sounds really boring" excuse.

That's the one. There's also lots of swashbucking. I do have a love of the swashbucking.

I remember we watched it in music class in high school. It was kinda creepy, but I dont remember any actual payoff. That was probably because I fell asleep rather early.
Also, in the Princess Bride, the swordfight with Inigo Montoya at the top of the cliff with all the rocks everywhere is pretty much some of the best swashbuckling I have ever seen done on screen, although, whenever I think of the word "Swashbuckling" I think "Fruity sword-fighting in a style that noone in their right mind would actually use if they were fighting for their life

heh - good point, although if I could swashbuckle, I would, at every opportunity. I watch The Mark of Zorro (1940s-style) on the weekend - that had some pretty sweet swashbuckling in it, as well. I'm certainly looking forward to Legend Of Zorro.
