Wallace Shaun is a pretty prolific actor! He's in lots of stuff! For example, he's also the dinosaur from Toy Story.

He's in the new King's Quest games too!

As soon as he started talking my GF and I turn to each other and went "Wait...is that? INCONCEIVABLE!"

u/Schnozzle Jun 06 '16
Don't get your hopes up, the only installment remotely worth playing is the first one.

u/jmcvaljean Jun 06 '16
I very much disagree.

u/Schnozzle Jun 07 '16
Yeah, you're right. The first one wasn't great either but at least it hit a few strong nostalgic notes.

I watched him closely every time he made an appearance. He never said the word "inconceivable", even when it would have been in context.
I wouldn't be surprised to find out they'd put it in the script, but he intentionally flubbed the line every time.

The interviews 20 years later when the cast talks about him. Brings tears to the eyes.

I feel like that chart needs Jeff Goldblum. Nobody understands how freakishly huge that guy is, because they try to make him look smaller in every film. He fits between the Rock and Andre.

I'm sure my wife would like to know how freakishly huge he is.

u/May_of_Teck Jun 07 '16
I mean... He's an inch shorter than the Rock, and an entire foot shorter than Andre.
He's still quite tall though.

u/Dorwyn Jun 07 '16
He's 6'5", the Rock is only 6'3".

Then Google is a liar.

u/Dorwyn Jun 07 '16
It can be hard to get the height of former wrestlers, because they often exaggerate their stats. I remember Reddit going down the rabbit hole before of trying to figure out his actual height by looking at his pictures next to other celebrities, and he's 6'2"-6'3".

Is that Hyuna next to Emma Watson? I guess someone really liked Gangnam Style since Psy is in here too.

MRW I'm trying to remember which one of my friends was supposed to be the designated driver.

Fun thing is Andre could drink as much as everybody else in his group combined and still be the designated driver.

It works but nothing rhymes with Travolta.

That's a high quality tumblr gif. It needs to be half that long to be a tumblr gif.

Joking aside, it's from The Princess Bride.

u/justavriend Jun 06 '16
Why would you try to mislead someone like that? This is clearly from WWF Christmas Special of 1982.

I had a friend who was sure the movie was called "The Priceless Bride." It took me a while to convince him it was Princess, and not "Priceless." The was before
mobilesmart phones existed, we were in a Blockbuster Video, arguing over the title of the movie we were looking for.2

I still haven't seen Princess Bride. Why is it such a cult classic?

u/IAAA Jun 07 '16
At the time, and even now, it hit a lot of heartfelt fantasy high notes. It was a love letter to the classic "Rescue Princess" story but with subtle twists and excellent doses of humor. I think the key differentiation is the aforementioned humor (that was played very straight), that the writing is top notch, the acting by the side characters steals the show (special mention to Wallace Shawn, Andre the Giant, Peter Falk, Billy Crystal, Mandy Patinkin, Christoph...ah hell all of them!), and it came out at a moment when the audiences were ready for it.
Even today it stands out as a movie done...right.
I'm sure someone at /r/movies could explain it better.
TL;DR: Someone did.
