Re: Movie Club! Time to discuss Clue.

Other than the dog poop gag, all the visual gags really, really worked for me. You don't really see that type of movie anymore.

Is Mr. Green actually gay? I felt like we were supposed to think so but in the ending where he is the only good guy, he makes a point to say he is going home to his wife. I thought that was supposed to be the gag (they did the same thing for Snakes on a Plane). Then again, that line is only in one of the endings.

I loved when Tim Curry was explaining what happened and turned off the lights and someone was like, "I HATE when he does that."

I think him saying he was going home to his wife was part of why I didn't understand it. I am certain this is the version of the film we saw in cinema and that I always knew he had a wife. But of course my brother swears we saw the Mrs Peacock ending and my father says we saw Miss Scarlett and my mother says we've never seen the film...

Anon from below. That line is the reason I'm so ambivalent about that ending. Given the 50s setting, it absolutely made sense for a government man to be vulnerable to blackmail if he was gay, and in that ending it would also make sense as a drastic-and-easy-to-set-up cover (if also more than a little risky for him). I just never liked the fact that he can be innocent in all three endings and gay in two, but in the ending where he's the hero he's suddenly not.

That being said again, he could still be genuinely gay in that ending, though with a real wife to disguise it, and be stressing his 'cover' at the end to avoid being genuinely blackmailed later. In which case his superiors picking that particular cover for the job must have been both terrifying and ironic for him.
