Review/Analysis of Columbo's "Last Salute to the Commodore"

[(Anonymous)]

Colombo (the show, not the character) tries its hand at a more standard murder mystery format this time around... and doesn't really succeed.

Morally, should fans profit from fanworks?

[(Anonymous)]

Disregard the law.

[(Anonymous)]

No, because capitalism is immoral

there's a fucking hot take for you

Re: Morally, should fans profit from fanworks?

[(Anonymous)]

No.

Re: Morally, should fans profit from fanworks?

[(Anonymous)]

Morally, I don't really have a problem with people who make cash illustrating fan faves. That said, I can't think of it as "fanart" if you're doing it for profit rather than love.

Morally, I feel that it's violating some core value of being a fan to write fic out of money rather than love. I'm sure someone more clever than me could make some kind of point about the difference between the visual snapshot and the verbal narrative and how deeply one is engaged in it. It feels like a difference to me.

If you could change one social norm, what would it be?

Movie Club! Time to discuss Clue.

[kaijinscendre]

Today we are discussing Clue!

Here are some questions to start us off.

1. What was your initial reaction when the movie started? How did that change by the end of the movie?

2. Who was your favorite character in the movie? Your least favorite character? Why?

3. What was your favorite scenes? Your least favorite? Why?

4. What did you think of the soundtrack and/or score?

5. What did you think of the cinematography?

Feel free to talk about anything else as well!

Re: Movie Club! Time to discuss Clue.

1. This is actually the first MC movie I've not seen before so I am going in with fresh eyes. I loved how dramatic the opening was. How did that change by the end of the movie?

2. Wadsworth was obviously my favorite. Tim Curry is such a weird dude and it really shines through in this movie. My least favorite character was Professor Plum. I didn't like his whole 'horndog' thing and I think he added the least to the movie.

3. My favorite scene was when everyone sitting down at the table. Mostly because that jokes about what a butler does is hilarious. Also, awkward dinners are always fantastic to watch. I didn't like the recurring dog poop scene at the beginning. Not a big fan of gross humor.

4. The music was ridiculous. It fit the movie but I didn't particularly care for it.

5. I didn't think much of it. There wasn't anything spectacular about it. I also need to think of a better way to phrase this question since cinematography is ill defined and a fairly narrow. Maybe what did you think of the production?

I loved that this movie had three different endings. Especially considering it was released at a time when it would be hard for people to actually see the other endings. Today, you could probably find them online within like...four days of release.

I'm only halfway through it - I got my time zones mixed up - but will have a go at some of the questions.

1. Initial reaction was bafflement. I've never seen anything like it before. Performances were good, tho' I could have done without some of the -isms. I liked the big spooky house and wouldn't mind living in it. I'm now tending towards the idea that the movie's a loosely-plotted farce and I should enjoy it scene by scene without expecting too much in the way of sense.

2. Favourite character was Wadsworth, I guess – just very low-key but consistently weird. Least favourite was Professor Plum. I liked the women on the whole.

3. Favourite scene – well when they went into the study and the bookshelf door kept confusing them. That's more of a gag than a scene in itself, though.

4. Soundtrack – no great feelings one way or another.

5. Cinematography – I know nothing of such matters, but I thought it worked well for such a subject.

One thing that did make a strong impression was the whole 1950s feel of it – the underlying paranoia as well as the -isms. We're not out of the Dark Ages yet but we're doing better than that!

Though I have to say that the frocks were great.

And I thought it was a really weird and wacky idea and they certainly had a good crack at it!

There are so many great moments in this film and I just have to squee about them because I've been waiting over 30 years for this chance!

"There is safety in numbers, my dear." And he's tapping this giant wrench in his hands and then realises how it looks. Kid me though that was one of the funniest things ever and I was also super proud to pick up what I thought was a more mature and subtle joke than kids my age usually would.

Following on from that...I didn't understand that Mr Green was gay for the longest time (probably five years or more) and then when I did, I couldn't understand why that mattered or why he'd be blackmailed for it.

I love Mrs. White and Madeline Khan was flawless, but "flames on the side of my face" was my favourite moment with her.

Wadsworth shouting and getting clinked on the head with the candlestick cracked 8 year old me up to no end and I still giggle a little when I watch the film these days.

I also laughed at the singing telegram getting shot. Sorry. The suddenness of it just struck me as hilarious. Not as much these days but I see why I used to think it was funny.

I love Tim Curry running from room to room explaining what happened and my favourite is him dashing about with the knife raised in his hand.

We saw this in the cinema and only saw one ending. My family all swear a different ending, though. We didn't know at the time there were three possibilities. It was maybe a year later we saw that version and I love all the endings. But my favourite has always been the final one, the one baby me insisted was the "real" ending, the one where each person save Mr Green committed one of the murders.

I have seen this movie before, actually a few times. It's just one of those movies that I love and adore, and I'm probably not the best at being objective about it. But:

1. For some reason I keep comparing the opening of this movie with the opening for the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Not for better or for worse, they just remind me of each other.

2. I adore Mrs White (Madeline Kahn!), Ms Scarlet (best plot), and poor longsuffering Mr Green. Mrs White probably wins, though. She has the best lines. I'm not so fond of either Professor Plum or Colonel Mustard. They're just not as interesting as everyone else.

3. My favourite scene(s) was absolutely the Cop and everyone's hilariously awful attempts to act 100% normal and not like the house was murder central. So many bonus points for Mr Green's expression at the (from his point of view) surprise necrophilia, and the Cop's/Wadsworth's 'It's a free country'/'I didn't know it was that free'.

4. I don't remember having any real thoughts on the soundtrack, beyond that it fit the movie

5. I do like the atmosphere and vague claustrophobia of a lot of the shots. Everybody kept getting all stuffed in against each other. It worked really well.

On the three endings, I've always had mixed feelings about that. Given the source game, it's a really clever little idea and a lot of fun, but I always thought that one of them held up a lot better than the other two. I've especially always had mixed feelings about the Mr Green revelation in one of them.

Did I miss the discussion for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? Or is it at the beginning of December? Sorry, I haven't been keeping up the last couple books and also haven't been on FS as much lately.
