  I'm back with another inklings! (the rules for linking up are  here ) This month, the prompt was: A sword dueling scene in book or film. As soon as I read this, I thought of the dueling scene from The Princess Bride. Here it is: And  here  is a link in case the video doesn't work.  This whole film is so iconic, and this is one of my favourite scenes from it. It also has several very quotable lines in it ("Get used to disappointment" is a good one!) Opinions are wildly divided on this film, I know: some people love it, others hate it! How do you feel? Do let me know in the comments!

  I have just linked up to do this for the first time, which I am very exited about! The rules are here , and the prompt for this month is " A scene with running water in book or film ". One of the first things I thought of when I read this was the destruction of Isengard from   the film of  The Lord of the Rings . Here it is: I love this scene - it's so satisfying to watch! Though I have to confess that Treebeard wasn't at all like how I'd imagined him, the directors having selfishly neglected to consult me before making the film!
