Re: Movie Club! Time to discuss Clue.

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!

Yeah, the movie is definitely a product of its time. It looks like we had the same favorite and least favorite characters! Tim Curry was just great in this.

That kind of gag is pretty classic (the confusing door). It is pretty fun when done well.

This is probably my favorite movies based on a game (board OR video).

The 50s-ish setting was definitely an excellent decision, both aesthetically and for the way it affected the plot/backstories.
