*THE PRINCESS BRIDE* subverted ALL my expectations! | First Time Watching REACTION 

This movie is so iconic that when I met Mandy Patinkin in the 1990s, all I had to do was say, "Say it," and he said the, "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya," line, fully in character. No further explanation necessary, he knew exactly what I was talking about.

I consider this movie to be the most quotable movie ever made. Practically every line in it is the basis for some meme or other.

Inigo didn't just return the scars that Count Rugon did to his face. He also repeated all three stab wounds from their fight.

I met Cary Elwes in January of 2020, and he was a super sweet and soft spoken man. We of course got an autographed photo of him from when he was in Princess Bride, and got him to write, "As You Wish." When we met him, my daughter was asleep in her stroller, so he asked us to bring her back around when she woke up, which we did. He got down on his knees to play with her, and had her laughing. It was a wonderful experience and we highly recommend meeting him.

Cary Elwes said the most difficult scene for him to film was when he was on the table at Miracle Max's house. Billy Crystal was ad libbing amazing Miracle Max stuff, and Cary Elwes had to lay perfectly still and not laugh at a master comedian.

When Peter Falk, the actor of the grandfather, passed away some years ago, I remember they put that last scene of him saying "As you wish" at the Oscars memorial video. He was also famous for a detective TV series, Columbo, and he was just the same, light-hearted and clever man he was on this movie.

Grandpa's final 'As you wish' 😥 every time Such a classic, brilliantly written, charming and witty - great reaction, thanks for sharing 😊

That final "As you wish." always wrings tears out of me.

This is a family favourite for me. Over that last 30 years my family would quote bits like “have fun storming the castle!”, “Life IS pain, Highness. Anyone saying different is selling something.”, “you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” And “Mawwage!”. One of my dearest friends also was a fencer and so she explained to me all about the various fencing theory being discussed. Also I recently managed to get my hands on the book. I never realised how funny it actually was till reading that.

The music was by Mark Knopfler, who was the lead guitarist, singer, and songwriter for the band Dire Straits. Their hits include Sultans of Swing, Money for Nothing, and Walk of Life. Andre the Giant really was that big. Once when the weather turned cold during filming, he put his hand on top of Robin Wright's head to keep her warm. It covered her entire head like a hat.

There are basically no wasted moments in this movie. The pacing is perfect.

The movie is based on a book, but not in the way you'd think. The book claims to be an abridged version of the original Princess Bride book (which actually doesn't exist). So it was already very meta and basically a satire.

Both Mandy Patinkin and Cary Elwes trained extensively for their sword fight. It was the last scene shot and they were training every day since before they began filming. The patter about tbe defences and attacks are real techniques used in fencing. The fight which seems so quick is actually tbe longest sword fight filmed. The giant was a wrestler called Andre the Giant. He is a legend in wrestling. All the other wrestlers were actually afraid of him although he was quite gentle with them. He was a voracious drinker. Dinking several bottles of wine and numerous (in the dozens) bottles of beer in one sitting was quite common. He died quite young because of his condition. I have never heard a bad thing said about him.

24:56 . . . I think I can confidently say that his name will never escape you again after having seen the ending.

Mandy Patinkin (Inigo Montoya) lost his father to cancer when he was 18. He said in an interview “From the minute I read the script… I said I’m gonna do this part because in my mind if I get this six-fingered guy that means I killed the cancer that killed my dad and I’ll get to visit my dad." On a heart warming note, while filming in the hills it got very cold for Buttercup, so in between takes Andre the Giant would sit down, place her on his lap and basically surround her with his immense size, keeping her warm.

So many films that are ground-breaking at the time they were made have been re-used by others so much that they have become tropes and in some cases tired cliches, to the point that many people watching the originator for the first time will not understand how new and innovative it was at the time. Princess Bride did manage to take almost every trope of the fantasy genre and stand it on its head, or come at it from a different, unexpected angle, while still somehow managing to be true to the genre at a basic level. And no other film has been able to do that since. Many fantasies continue to rely on the same tropes and expectations. Some have played with them, but none quite so successfully. And nothing in Princess Bride, even these decades later, even for first-time viewers, has become tired or cliched or re-used in ways that make them now predictable. You were surprised at every twist and subversion, every step along the way. This is one of those once-in-a-lifetime films, perfect in every way. It can never be re-made. (For one thing, there is only ONE Andre the Giant. Sure, we have CGI now, but he was the real deal. No CG, no camera tricks, simply a giant of a man. Sad that he left the world too soon. There will never be another.)

I love the little nugget that Inigo didn't die from his injuries because he kissed the pill Miracle Max gave them to revive Westley.

The original fencing scene was really just what they did on the ground. They got so good at the choreography that what should have been a 10 minute fight scene was done in 3 minutes. That's why they added in going up the stairs and the flips and whatnot. They had to add more time to the fight scene.

Shadowcat: "I think this guy might be overconfident in his jousting skills." Us: You keep on using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. ;)

Most of the things you mentioned in your outro thoughts are reasons why this movie is basically considered THE PERFECT MOVIE. It has everything: drama, romance, comedy, action, adventure...it has bright happy spots and dark scary spots and everything in between. Yes, it's a "typical" medieval adventure romance plotline but everything that makes it up in the details makes it the absolutely inverse Monty Python sort of "parody" at the same time. I don't think I've ever met someone who didn't like TPB and let's be honest, if someone DOESN'T like this movie, you can't trust them! :)

Especially given your comments about the screenplay, you might want to check out the novel this is based on. William Goldman (who was already an Oscar winning screenwriter) wrote both. The framing device of the novel is that it tries to retell the version of the story told to Goldman by his grandfather, who was adapting the (non-existant) book "The Princess Bride" on the fly as he read it, leaving out the boring and icky parts.

Since Jousting was in your mind, may I recommend: A Knight's Tale with Late young and great Heath Ledger? You don't need to do reaction for it, but you might enjoy it very much. This film has still one the best fencing scenes of all time. Same man who taught sword play here, was Bob Andersson, who taught sword play for Star Wars, Zorro films and first Pirates of Carribean film

A review of one of my favorite movies? Check! A diverting and entertaining set of first-time reactions by the reviewer? Check! A sweet kitty? Double Check! We have the makings of a Grade A+ video!

This is such a masterclass in filmmakig. Its not like some groundbraking artsy film, but it does everything right. The writing, acting, directing, just so solid. The jokes hit the way they need to, the narrative does what it needs while still having surprises, and there's a lot of heart put into it that really shines through. 35 years on and its still a classic.

14:18 Yep, that's a cardinal rule of chicanery: Never gamble unless you know you're going to win, or losing serves your purpose.

You would love "Megamind" based on what you said that you loved in this movie. It's animated, but grownups love it. It has a surprisingly interesting plot and is one of my favorite films.

In the extended features on one of the special editions Mandy Patinkin (Inigo Montoya) says that when he first saw the final movie he cried - As an actor you never really know what the final movie will be like. When he saw the final he knew it was destined to be a classic - the kind of thing that might only come once in a lifetime.

Westley was deliberately playing up his supposed misogyny because he was angry at her because he thought she had moved on almost immediately.

One of the few truly perfect movies. Just about anyone can watch it and enjoy it, it’s become a generational success despite being a disappointing box office performer when it was released, thanks mostly to VHS and later home releases. If you ever want to hear more about how it was made, Cary Elwes (Westley in the movie) wrote a retrospective with interviews from the cast and crew titled “As You Wish,” absolutely worth reading or listening to the audiobook.

Glad you enjoyed it. For a parody, The Princess Bride hits all the points for comedy and drama which makes it a timeless classic. It's a cat-on-lap staple for movie night.

This is the one movie that I don't think anyone would deny is better than the book it's adapted from! Of course, it helps that the author and the screenwriter are the same person, so he just improved his own work.

When Buttercup and Wesley tumble downhill, the body double/Stuntman for Wesley did the tumbles of both roles. Once in each role's wardrobe.

Yeah, there's a reason this one is a classic. I grew up in the 80s, and had this on VHS. I've seen it dozens of times. To this day, when my kids leave the house I say "Have fun storming the castle!"

The "marriage" clergyman was a fun cameo. Few people in the U.S. knew him, but Peter Cook was a huge figure in British comedy and anyone in the UK would have recognized him immediately.

Loved your reaction. This is just a perfect movie that can be watched again and again. It never gets old.

William Goldman's screenplay is based on his own book, which has a different framework surrounding the fairy-tale story -- as an old book his father had read to him, and which only as an adult he discovered that his father had skipped over the dull parts, so he is making his own "good parts" edition, with comments whenever he abridges something. All this is fictional of course, including the son for whom he is supposedly doing this (Goldman had no son, but two daughters, who in fact originally inspired the book when one of them said she wanted a book about a princess, and the other one a book about a bride). It remained one of the famous "unfilled screenplays" for over a decade, with several directors, including some famous ones, optioning it and then giving up. Only Rob Reiner, after his first two movies gave him some clout in the business, was able to undertake it and actually make it. He didn't have a mega-budget either, but for me the modest scale sort of adds to its charm.

I was so thrilled to see you were watching this! It's a great movie to watch alone, but even better to share it with someone who's discovering it for the first time! And it always infuriates me when networks, when cutting parts for time, cut the end where the grandfather says "As you wish"... it's the perfect ending.

Hey, Shadowcat! This movie was an instant classic! I saw it in theaters as a boy. The swordfight between Westley and Inigo is often cited among the 10 BEST SWORDFIGHTS ever put on film! Mandy Patinkin was a trained fencer from Juilliard Drama School but Cary Elwes had no background in swordplay. Bob Anderson, who portrayed Darth Vader during lightsaber battles, spent months prepping both actors for the duel on set but, when they performed the routine for director Rob Reiner, it ended too quickly for his taste and he told them to come up with something splashier. The art department added rocks and stairs and arches to provide more space for stunts, a gymnast was brought in to perform acrobatic moves and the actors watched every swashbuckling film they could find including the work of Richard Lester, Burt Lancaster and Errol Flynn. They paid special attention to 1952's "Scaramouche" based on the Rafael Sabatini novel because its swordfight was the longest in duration. Both Patinkin and Elwes were trained ambidextrously and Elwes broke his big toe while practicing. When they demonstrated the new routine for Reiner, he had them duel for days while he caught the battle from every possible angle. The routine is so widely appreciated that FENCING ACADEMIES today STUDY the scene and REENACT it with their students! As a child, Andre the Giant couldn't fit in the bus that took him to school in France. His construction worker father was working on a project for a client who agreed to drive Andre in his more spacious convertible so he was chauffeured every day by this man. The client happened to be playwright SAMUEL BECKETT and Andre said they mostly spoke about their shared enjoyment of cricket. Cary Elwes told a hysterical anecdote complete with impressions on an American morning chat show about a 16-second long episode of MONUMENTAL, SYMPHONIC flatulence by Andre the Giant that stunned the entire set into silence and had the big fellow swaying back and forth with eyes closed in sheer ecstasy. Rob Reiner broke the awkward stillness and asked Andre if he was alright. Without missing a beat, Andre replied, "I am now, boss." Lol. Mandy Patinkin is an internationally famous stage and screen actor who played Saul Berenson for 8 years on "Homeland". Robin Wright is Sean Penn's ex-wife, played the First Lady in "House of Cards" and Antiope in "Wonder Woman". Billy Crystal is an internationally famous comedic actor known for his charity concerts with the late Robin Williams and Whoopi Goldberg. Wallace Shawn is a Broadway luminary best known for the film "My Dinner with Andre". Andre the Giant was a world-famous wrestler. Peter Falk was rumpled but astute Detective Columbo for decades on U.S. television. Fred Savage was the kid star of "The Wonder Years", a '60s nostalgia show from the '80s. Chris Sarandon is Susan Sarandon's ex-husband and a character actor still working today. He is the vampire in "Fright Night". Carol Kane is a comedienne still working today and known for her roles in the series "Taxi" and the movie "Scrooged". Cary Elwes is a Brit character actor who does amazing impressions, typically plays Americans and was recently the Mayor on "Stranger Things". Director Rob Reiner is the son of television comedian Carl Reiner, co-star of the revolutionary sitcom "All in the Family" and director of "Stand By Me", "When Harry Met Sally", "A Few Good Men", "Misery", "Ghosts of Mississippi", "LBJ" and "Shock and Awe" The screenplay is adapted by William Goldman from his book. Six other movies that have the same vibe as "The Princess Bride": "Stardust" "The Neverending Story" "Willow" "Labyrinth" "Ladyhawke" "Hook"

I don’t usually watch reaction videos but you were so sweet and I loved watching it with you! I’ve seen this movie more times than I can count. 💕

For the fencing scene Mandy Patinkin (Inigo) trained for 6 months, Cary Elwes (Westley) trained for 4 months. They both wanted to work really hard to make it perfect.

This is one of my all-time favorite movies. I absolutely adore Inigo and Fezzik, and the cameo of Billy Crystal and Carol Kane as Miracle Max and wife always cracks me up. The movie is endlessly quotable and very re-watchable. ♥ I would love to travel to some of the filming locations (The Cliffs of Insanity was filmed at The Cliffs of Moher, County Clare, Ireland). So glad you liked the movie 😸😊~Caroline

I’m happy the RU-vid algorithms brought me to you today. Enjoyed your reaction. Subbed.

The Princess Bride is the first movie I saw after that time I was in a coma for a bit. Worth coming back for, one of my favourites of all time, every performance is perfect :) Also I was surprised to learn there's an actual book of the Princess Bride, which is excellent :)

Another, much older, film that was a loving spoof of the swashbuckler genre was "The Court Jester" (1955) with Danny Kaye. Because it was a Danny Kaye film, there are songs, but it's not exactly a musical. It has some well remembered bits, such as the Chalice from the Palace…

I know very few people that don't love the Princess Bride. For me and most of my friends the Princess Bride is a love letter to Epic Fantasy that I and they have been reading for years. We can see the love and care in the movie and the love shown for things we love. When I was in college we would often just watch it to relax and share something we all loved. I'm glad you got a chance to appreciate it.

Such a classic movie, beautifully paced, funny, touching and infinitely quotable. I've heard from so many different sources that it's seen as one of the few truly perfect movies.

No words can express my joy at seeing people discover this amazing movie for the first time! I love first reactions like this because people usually start it with low expectations and then fall in love with the movie as they get drawn into the humor, action, and story. Continue sharing this wonderful film - it's for the whole family, forever!

One of my favorite films. A great script. It has everything you'd want in a film. Comedy, Drama, Romance, Adventure, etc. I can't think of another film that has so many memorable lines. The cast is perfect. Great pacing and visuals. Great musical score. The highlight for me is when Inigo Montoya finally gets to avenge his father. A powerful dramatic scene. The actor Mandy Patinkin's father was dying of cancer when it was filmed and apparently he imagined killing the cancer in the scene to give it more emotional power. As well I love the framing with Peter Falk the Grandfather reading the book to his Grandson. It's funny and heartwarming. When he says "As you Wish" at the end of the film I tear up everytime.

I got to recently introduce The Princes Bride to some elderly friends who had never seen it, thinking it was a kid's movie. They were both blown away, laughing so hard they saw stars. Both of them being small people, they were particularly impressed by Fezzik, and the sheer superhuman bulk of Andre.

A lot of people have mentioned the circumstances under which the book was written, but there's an extra aspect to that: the book was written as a loving parody of classic adventure novels from the 19th to early 20th century, mainly the ones by Rafael Sabatini (Captain Blood, The Sea Hawk and so on). Amusingly, the movie pays homage by deliberately poking fun at the _movies_ based on those books.

Princess Buttercup is played By Robin Wright, now Robin Wright-Penn. She was also Jenny in Forrest Gump. She quit acting to raise a family. When Jenny says "Run Forrest run" I want him to say "as you wish, Jen-nay!" but he never does. 😒

The giant would put his head of the Princess's head, to keep her warm, when it was cold. That's how much love there is in this movie. :)

Cary Elwes wrote a rather fun book about making this movie. Not only did he and Mandy have to train a LOT for the swordfight scene (both of them did some pre-preparation and lied through their teeth about it), but Cary had done something very silly and badly injured his heel beforehand, so his mobility is remarkable in that scene. The mentions of names like Capo Ferro, Bonetti etc. during the scene are real, published fencing masters from history.

Like you, I expected something completely different, when my wife first made me watch it. It instantly became one of my favorites.

This is a special movie to me and my wife, it was our first date in December 1987, and now 35 years later we still love to watch it. Perhaps you could react to another great movie, a favorite of my wifes "Stardust". Oh, and yes jousting is done from horseback.

I'm glad you enjoyed the movie. It's a great film for everyone to enjoy. And yes, in fencing it is considered acceptable to run when cornered.

My best friend and I saw this movie in the theatre when it was released in the late 1980’s, and i still think it is the best movie I have ever seen. So much fun to see a new generation discovering and appreciating it.

Anybody want a peanut?!

Good reaction. One of the greatest movies ever made (and the best fencing scene ever filmed, I'll die on that hill). The book's even better. :)

😂I just watched this. LOVED your reaction. When you said, “his name escapes me,” I just laughed because, well, you know, you got plenty of opportunity to learn it.😂🤣😂👏👏👏👏

As you know, the concept of the suction pump is centuries old. Really, that's all this is; except: Instead of sucking water, I'm sucking *life*. One of the best of a hundred quotable lines.

If you ever get a chance to see it in a theater with a crowd, do it. People LOVE this move and revival screenings are always a hoot. This is my first time seeing one of your reactions and I really enjoyed it. I loved that you complimented the screenplay. By the great William Goldman, who also wrote the novel upon which it's based. Off to see what else your channel has to offer...

I think you might be the 'ideal audience' for this movie. You hit the exact same beats as the grandson but a couple seconds before nearly every time.

I've watched a lot of reactions to this movie, and I think this is absolutely one of my favorites. Thank you for doing the film justice!

Princess Bride seems to be written on the idea of "How many cliches can I fit into a single story?" This story is proof that using tropes and cliche is not inherently bad, even if you don't subvert them. It is all about how you use them.

I always enjoy watching how people react when they see The Princess Bride for the first time. It just never gets old.

As someone who saw it when it first came out, and has seen it probably a dozen times, I had forgotten which parts are surprising, so I really enjoyed watching somebody see it all for the first time. Thank you for that! (It is also possibly worthwhile to read the book itself, although that is really pretty hard-core fan stuff. The ending in the book is a bit different ...)

FYI: the ROUS wasn't a puppet... it was a person in a rat suit. Glad you enjoyed!

I've never watched one of your videos before, the moment you started speaking, I thought, "ooh, I like her voice."

I like to imagine a scene in which Vizzini is administered with truth serum, and upon learning what has happened, remarks, "Inconvenient!"

I've seen this movie probably 30 times, maybe more, over the years. I love this movie even more every time I watch it. Even once you're familiar with the story beats, the movie is so fun and quotable, and the characters so endearing, that you end up looking forward to spending time with them again. One other thing I love about this movie is how well it balances comedy with sincerity and earnestness. The jokes never feel unearned, and they never detract from the immersion in the story. Ugh, I just love this movie so much, and I'm really glad you liked it too.

It is a film you can watch over and over to relax too. That's why so many people know the script by heart.

Instant subscription. Your voice is so soothing! I was stressed beyond belief and i wandered into one of your videos, and I calmed down in seconds. Thank you

If you liked the humor and unconventional genre storytelling in this, you might like Return of the Living Dead (1985), a zombie comedy from the writer of Alien (1979) that completely subverts and upends all the "rules" of the genre without spoofing it. Same with "Tucker and Dale VS Evil", another horror comedy that does the same for slasher movies.

Honestly seeing someone come at this movie blind has given me even more renewed appreciation for it - I've always loved it, but I've watched it so much and known it for so long that it falls into the category of 'extremely straightforward and tropey but just so quality that no one cares', I'd completely lost sight that it is full of twists and subversions because it supplanted old tropes and became my standard.

As you said, a subversion of tropes is the perfect way to describe this movie. They couldn't have done it without setting it up so well in the character design. We start the movie with a happy couple where one of them dies in the first five minutes. Then we have the commoner playing the part of a princess. The pirate is the hero, and the prince is the villain. The giant is gentle. The comedic sidekick has the epic fight at the end versus his lifelong foe. Then you shatter the fourth wall on their fairytale world by reminding the viewer, repeatedly, that the story is a story is a book being shared in a world very much like our own. This movie is proof that you can break rules of storytelling, but first, you need to master them. I've watched The Princess Bride what might be an unhealthy number of times, but that isn't going to slow me down.

It was delightful seeing this beloved story that I read so long ago, then watched the movie countless times, as seen through the eyes of someone who's never seen it. Your reactions were great. You will now pick up on the references from this movie all over the place. ❤ Also, as a person proudly possessed by two ragdoll cats, that cat fluff floating by is my life in a nutshell. 😂

One of the most quotable movies of all time! 😎😎😎

I saw this movie when it first opened in theatres, because I'm old. I love seeing people, such as yourself, get turned on to it. It's one of the best films, even though it's technically fairly poor - badly ediited, for one thing. Lots of weird continuity errors. But who cares?!? Everyone in it was perfect for their role. What I love is that the man who wrote the original book, William Golding, wrote the screenplay, and it's very different from the book. He cut out a lot of preamble about the politics between "Guilder" and "Florin", which we actually didn't need, as Humperdink explains it all.

I've watched many reviews of this movie but I've never seen anyone that dislikes it. It has something for everyone. The 'reading the good parts' idea is really effective and means there are no wasted/pointless scenes.

Goldman asked his two young daughters what kind of story they would like him to write for them. One said a story about a Princess, the other wanted a story about a Bride. In high school in the 70s, we were assigned William Goldman's first novel, "The Temple of Gold" - it's a great read, with heart and loss. Other William Goldman screenplays that are worthy of watching: "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" - "Marathon Man" - "All the President's Men"... (It's also rumored that Goldman helped Ben Affleck and Matt Damon with their gem, "Good Will Hunting", another MUST watch.)

That last “As you wish” always wrecks me. 🥹🥹🥹

This is a longtime favorite of my entire family. Good reaction. Thank you for sharing. Others you might enjoy are "Galaxy Quest" ,"Star Dust", "Wall-E", "UP" or "Clue". All of them are clever, well delivered and have great casts (except for Wall-E or UP which are animated films).

During covid the cast came together to do a fundraising table read of the film. It was fantastic. And Mandy Patinkin brought his sword and Billy Crystal kind of recreated the set he was in. It was beautiful. Another pop culture reference movie is Casablanca. It still holds up pretty well. It's pretty tropey but it kind of set some of those in motion.

The Miracle Max character is from an impression that Billy Crystal did of his Grandfather back in his stand-up comedy days. Here's a clip of it from one of his albums: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rt1Cia9uB1Q.html

Let's go! One of my favorites. I'm a big wrestling fan so seeing Andre in a flick always got me hype. This one is so quotable! 2:34 He can be my saddle boy

The Princess Bride rules! Inconceivable!

Commenting to feed the algorithm. Enjoyed watching your reaction, and glad you liked this movie. It's one of my favorites. Love the meatball hair, it's so cute!

This is literally a perfect movie. I used to always want to see a version without the grandpa and grandson, but now that I am grown up I realize they added to the movie so much

I absolutely LOVE this movie. It is as near perfect as any movie can get.

That last, "as you wish" from the grandfather always kills me. Also, I would die for Jupiter.

This is the second reaction I've just watched today. I hate to admit it, but I always laugh at the same spots, and jump at the same spots and watching you watch this movie brings tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing and thank you for enjoying this so much.

The best thing that everyone should know about this movie, if they don't already know, is that during filming Andre the giant had let out a really loud and long fart. After he was done the director asked him if he was OK and he replied "I am now boss". I also think he used his hand as an umbrella for the woman who plays the princess one time when it was raining during filming. Andre was wholesome, despite being able to down over 130 beers in a single sitting.

I know this movie by *heart*! It is my absolute, all-time, hands down, favorite film! Had it on VHS when I was a kid and my sister and I used to watch it, rewind it, watch it again, repeat. I love it when people discover this movie!

The fight scene is so well choreographed. So many mixes of one-shots instead of what you see in today's movies where it's just so dizzying and clipped together where you can tell they're only actually fighting for like 5 seconds at a time. Half the time you can't even tell what's going on.

I love watching people react to this film

I have a cat like Jupiter, she's always with me, on my lap, licking me, etc. She's a 17 year old calico named Eva. She's the sweetest, cuddliest kitty ever.

Very astute observations as regards the film accomplishing surprise within an otherwise familiar story. Another great video!

I'll never get tired of watching someone see this for the first time. This and Galaxy Quest.

This is the first video of yours I've seen, and I'm watching it on my TV, but I just had to come here and say I LOVE your voice, it's so soothing and just lovely!
