Clue

For my first running commentary: Clue
Released in 1985 and starring Tim Curry, Eileen Brennan, Madeline Kahn, Christopher Lloyd, and a variety of others, this is a zany movie based on a board game. Yes, *the* board game. It is one that I've seen several times, so this probably isn't the best to start with, but fuck it. I like the movie, and if you don't like it, tough titties. And be prepared for a bevy of Rocky Horror references.


3:36 - Was "Shake, Rattle, and Roll" around in 1954?

7:24 - Boobs. Even fancy old ladies like 'em.

37:24 - There's a candlestick there.
37:21 - THUNK! Plop!

39:29 - Castles don't have phones, Asshole. Also, I thought the front door was locked...

48:45 - You're not supposed to split up, moron.

1:03:01 - Was the da-da-da-da-da really necessary?

1:05:58 - And they've stopped following the butler. I mean, none of them are wearing running shoes.

1:15:30 - HAH! Calling a Jesus freak a beatnick is weird.

1:23:00 - And they harmonized. I'll admit that I knew Curry and Kahn could sing, but Lloyd?

1:26:19 - Lili von Shtupping him?

Something I never realized: the three-part ending was effectively people casting their guesses at the end of the game.
