Clue: Murder at Boddy Mansion (1998)

[ghostofanovelwriter]

My brother and I recently watched Clue (1985) for the first time and I thought I’d some some of our comments throughout the viewing.

“Y’aaaal that’s a cheap maid’s outfit.”

-“Her name’s white and she’s wearing black clothing. No one thought hard on that one.”

-“Can you imagine getting into a stranger’s car just like that? Can’t relate.”

-“I can’t tell the men apart at all. They’re all white and men. Why are they dressed the same? At least the women have interesting outfits.”

-“Watsword is a fraud. Why does he have an English accent?”

-“There is literally nothing in those spoons.”

-“Wait, who’s related to who? Somebody slept with somebody else, right?”

-“WHO’S THE FUCKING HOST?”

-“I can’t stop staring at the maid’s boobs.”

-“I’m so confused right now.”

-“so she’s totally killing her husbands, right?” “Nah, I think she just likes dressing like a widower.” Cue intense cackling as the men cross their legs.

-“EYYO! Green’s a homosexual? Why’s he being blackmailed he didn’t do anything wrong?”

-“I’m liking Scarlet but judging from her name she’s definitely up to something. The fuck’s a double negative?”

-“A CANDLESTICK IS NOT A WEAPON!”

-“Shit is that Tim Curry?”

-“It’s Wadsworth! I’m calling it right now. Never trust Tim Curry when he locks you up in a mansion!”

-“This has polyamory couple potential. Just complete chaos.”

-“Stop running around I can’t keep track of y’all.”

-“Y’all, give Green a seat. This is homophobic.”

-“Wadsworth is a bitch. A nasty one or an iconic one I can’t tell. All I see is Tim Curry.”

-“Omg if Green ends up being the murderer imma riot. He’s never done anything wrong.”

-“White’s iconic. Give her more screentime.”

-“Oh, wait! BODDY SOUNDS LIKE BODY AND HE’S THE FIRST VICTIM OMG I JUST REALIZED-!”

-“Peacock is suspicious. What’s she leaving the room for? Not for a oui oui?”

-“Zombies!”

-“Green is suspect number one on my list.”

-“NOOO! Don’t kill off Tim Curry!”

-“it’s totally that dude. Comes in way too randomly.”

-“Take a shot for every pun in this movie.”

-“Colonel is spilling way too much whiskey for it not to be poisoned.”

-“What is the point of asking if anybody is in the house of you’re not going to believe him?”

-“And of course Green ends up with Yvette. I swear if he somehow ends up straight because of this-“

-“nvm they’re totally the best duo.”

-“I’m getting weird tension between Watsworth and White. Is it just me?”

-“Nice knowing you Scarlet.”

-“Oh shit, that dude must’ve broken in and then went back outside to be invited back in the not arouse suspicion!”

-“has that dude just not question why he’s locked up in the library?”

-“alright I’m just confused again.”

-“someone just kill mustard please.”

-“ah man, now there’s going to be a dead black dude? That’s racist.”

-“they act so much like a family in such a short amount of time. Murder really brings people together.”

-“lol, Green looking terrified of straight sex.” “I think he’s terrified at the prospect of corpses having sex.” “Oh.”

-“are they seriously checking the house again? They’ve totally forgotten their original plan right?”

-“OMG YVETTE!”

-“OMG GREEN! Where’s Green?”

-“Tbh i’d shoot someone too if I got a singing telegram.”

-“at least have a little remorse for the corpses. God.”

-“fuck Wadsworth. We get it, we were watching the movie too y’know?”

-“tim curry runs like a video game character.”

-“GET TO THE POINT TIM CURRY!”

-“what do I even know anymore?”

-“i don’t even know who know who.”

-“Wait it was Scarlet? Wait what?”

-“Ah yes, the true idea of capitalists: blackmail.”

-“Wait.”

-“WHAT?”

-“Wait. Which ending is this?”

-just a garble of confused noise at this point.

-“WADSWORTH YOU BITCH!”

-“Fucking everything is a red herring at this point. Who cares about communism?”

-“i’m still so confused!”

-“Fucking everyone’s a criminal!”

-“NO GREEN WAIT! NO GREEN I LOVE YOU! SORRY FOR EVER SUSPECTING YOU!”

-“WHAT KIND OF STRAIGHT NONSENSE IS THIS?”

-“I’ve never have a character simultaneously surpass my expectations and disappoint me at the very same time.”

Overall 8/10 would recommend

25 of 250: Favorite Film Reviews - Clue

Not long ago, work colleagues and I got into a discussion about what our favorite films were. Given my categorical nature I could not resist writing down a list and, as a writing challenge, have decided to write 250 word reviews of my favorite 25 films of all-time. Note: these are my favorite films, not what I think are the best films of all time.

Directed by: Jonathan Lynn

Written by: Jonathan Lynn

Starring: Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn, Eileen Brennan, Christopher Lloyd, Michael McKean, Martin Mull, Lesley Ann Warren

Year/Country: 1985, United States

Inspired by the classic board game, Clue did poorly at the box office and received tepid reviews. So why did it become a beloved cult classic? Because, like many films that catch on after initial failure, repeated viewings reward the audience time and again with what this film does right. First, the film knows murder mysteries inside and out, which lends it credibility as it builds to a farce. Second, it somehow manages to successfully switch tones from straight faced black comedy to riotous slapstick. Third and most importantly, the casting is perfect.

Six dinner guests are invited to the spooky mansion of a mysterious Mr. Boddy. In quick succession the guest discover through the machinations of the Mr. Boddy’s butler, Wadsworth (Tim Curry), that they’re all being blackmailed by Mr. Boddy for crimes they wish to keep secret. Soon Mr. Boddy is dead and, like in the board game, the guests have to divine who killed him, with what weapon, and in which room.

Watching this movie you can tell the cast had an absolute blast making this movie (behind the scenes stories bear this out). Writer/director Jonathan Lynn’s lines are delivered with scene chewing verve by every cast member; they’re all in on the joke and the fun is infectious. Like all good cult films, the one liners are numerous and imminently repeatable (“I’m not shouting! Alright, I am!”, “What do you mean? Murder?”), which the audience knows and recites by heart lovingly during every annual viewing.

Media Log 2023 Entry 22 - Clue - 8.5/10

Checkmate, Innersloth - Among Us didn't get a movie.

(Image made by my girlfriend!)

God, this movie is so much fun. Fun enough to make me question my rating system - On the existing scale, I feel it could only be 8.5... but I feel like it's better than that.

Anyway, the actual movie - as I said before, it's fun, plain and simple. It's an awesome and darkly hilarious take on the murder mystery genre and the board game itself, and it very well knows it! The entire cast is fantastic, with every character being very well-played and ultimately very fun to watch. Lacking thematics-wise, but really, who cares? It's meant to be shlocky.

Shout out to the set design as well - The Boddy mansion and the rooms seen in the movie are seemingly designed specifically for the purpose of hosting a variety of murders, which really works for a movie like this.

Of course, I have to touch on the three endings the movie had. What a great idea! I'm shocked we haven't seen anything really like this again. It's a great way to drum up conversation... and would have been even better if they included the cut ending where Wadsworth kills everyone!

Overall, a very fun murder mystery movie! I'd recommend you watch it, but don't bother trying to find out the culprit - due to the multiple endings, the clues aren't there.

[warrenwaskilledbyadeer]

I just had a sudden memory that many years ago I found this book from like the 60s or 70s that was based on the game Clue, and the premise of it was that it had turned out Mr. Boddy wasn't actually dead at all they just thought he was, he'd fainted from the shock of attempted murder being performed on him

The murderer (I don't remember who it was) apologized profusely and Mr. Boddy frankly forgave them and then I KID YOU NOT IT WAS LIKE SLICE-OF-LIFE SHENANIGANS WITH ALL OF THEM LIVING AT THE MANSION TOGETHER, JUST A BUNCH OF MINI VIGNETTES LIKE FREAKING WAYNE FAMILY ADVENTURES

I don't remember much about it but Mr. Boddy was the sweetest, kindest little man and he was very nervous and socially awkward, he had the most mishaps of any of them

The final story in the book was where they all tried to throw Mr. Boddy a surprise birthday party and he thought they were trying to kill him again and he fainted again

WTF WHAT WAS THIS BOOK I HAVE TO FIND IT IT'S RIDICULOUS

Mythos of Winter for Mr. Green in Clue

I want to open this with the fact I love Clue. It is a fantastically fun film that was incredibly ambitious. A majority of the main characters are bad people, it has a tightly written script, and has three alternate endings. I have no issue saying it is the best film based on a board game ever, and I would argue it is one of the best films from the 80s and the mystery genre.

With that being said, I have a huge issue with the film. One that keeps the film from ever being perfect or a masterpiece. I hate how Mr. Green is treated throughout the entire film.

Mr. Green is just like the rest of the cast. He is being blackmailed by Mr. Boddy, he gets accused of murder, and he is completely clueless to what is truly going on at the mansion. But there are two main things that make him different from everyone else: 1) He is being blackmailed for something he cannot control. He is a homosexual and would lose his job if anyone found out. And 2) He is the only guest that is innocent.

In the true ending for the film, it is revealed that he is an undercover FBI agent. He is the one that kills the real Mr. Boddy and saves the day. This is also where it is revealed that he was just pretending to be gay. The final joke of the movie comes from him, too: "Okay, Chief, take 'em away! I'm gonna go home and sleep with my wife!"

This is the issue I have with the film, how homosexuality is portrayed horribly throughout the entire film. Mr. Green is abused every single way imaginable throughout the entire film. He is beaten up for no reason by the butler, even after he begs for him to stop. He is forced to open most of the door, forcing him to face danger the most. The men do not trust him, in fact they make an effort to not sit next to him. Everyone also belittles him, calling him things like "fruity". Mr. Green is all around treated the worst out of all the other characters.

Mr. Green's story arc is like the mythos of winter. The struggles and abuse he faces are ironic, especially because his homosexuality is not a choice and he is actually an undercover FBI agent. Yet his treatment is tragic. Besides the characters that are killed, Mr. Green definitely suffers the most and is mocked the most.

I do understand that this film came out in the 80s. America's ignorance and bigotry against homosexuality back then does not excuse the behavior, it just explains it. In fact, I was surprised that a movie about a popular game would be willing to have a gay main character. I was willing to take the good with the bad; we get a openly gay character but he gets the worst treatment out of the cast. Progression takes time, and I was going to perfectly accept this.

But then that ending happened. Not only did the film went out of its way to retcon its only LGBT+ character, they also framed his reveal of being straight as a happy ending. He looks into the camera and basically tells the audience, "It's okay! I was straight all along! You can clap now."

That bothers me. That really bothers me. I did not expect Clue to be a LGBT+ advocate film. I am not asking for that, either. All I wanted from Mr. Green's character was for his stated sexuality to exist. And they took that away from us because 80s Hollywood just refuses to respect homosexuality. They went our of their way to portray homosexuality as the anit-happy ending. In a way, Clue is a satire of Hollywood's view of it.

This does not ruin the film for me. It just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. If I ignore all the aggressively negative behavior Mr. Green has to go through, I am able to enjoy this hilarious and heart-raising film. I just really, really wished my mouth did not have to taste bad in order to watch it.

Teen Wolf AUs That Need to Get Out of My Fucking Brain & Onto the Internet

Part 1 | Clue AU

*taps mic, sending eardrum-piercing feedback across the internet* Is this thing on?

Hi, what’s up? How are you? I’m doing okay—well, no, actually. To be really fucking honest, I’m suffering from too many fic ideas and my brain’s about to leak out of my nose. In short, I’m running out of Brain-Data to store all of my fanfic ideas, so I’ve decided to outsource them to the internet so that I can just move on. I might actually end up writing them. I might not. You, dear reader, might write something (and then you’re obligated to post a link so I can read it instead of doing Important Real Life Things).

Cool? Cool.

*cracks knuckles* Let’s goooooo. Warning: Clue movie spoilers ahead.

One of my favorite cult-classics is the 1985 film Clue. Never heard of it? I’m so sorry for your loss.

To keep it short and sweet, this movie is a tongue-in-cheek whodunnit that is based on the mystery board game “Clue.” Never heard of it? I’m so sorry for your childhood in general (seriously who raised you I need to have words). The acting is over-the-top and the script is wall-to-wall sass.

The basic plot is structured around a cast of characters, all given pseudonyms, who are invited by their mysterious blackmailer to a dinner party at an old mansion. Revelations and half-truths are revealed and then the lights go out, a shot goes off, and then there’s a dead body on the floor—specifically, Mr. Boddy (yeah, that’s his fucking name, guys). Now it’s up to everyone else to figure out what the hell happened.

This setting is just *MWAH* perfect for Teen Wolf. A group of reluctant strangers coming together to solve a problem? Yeah, not a real thematic stretch by any imagination.

But here’s where it gets fun: casting the characters and deciding on an outcome. There’s no romance in this storyline, so it’s a perfect AU for those who just want to shove Teen Wolf characters into different situations and watch them run with it. It’s entirely up to you who is who and who does what (except right now, in this post, where it’s up to ME). So, if you don’t mind if I do...

Wadsworth. Peter fucking Hale. The mastermind behind it all, blackmailing people basically because he can and he wants to. Peter likes power, Wadsworth has it. It’s perfect.

Favorite movie quote: “I’m merely a humble butler.” / “What is it that you do?” / “I buttle, sir.”

Mrs. Peacock. Victoria Argent. She’s not really a central character in a lot of fics (stone-cold bitch is a very specific flavor, and not well-liked). Regardless, I’d love to see her as the slightly manic Mrs. Peacock, powerful wife to a powerful man (Lady MacBeth ringing any bells??) who’s being blackmailed for taking bribes. I think she’d give the character more umph, which if you’ve seen the movie, is something Mrs. Peacock could use a little more of.

Favorite movie quote: “What are you afraid of, a fate worse than death?” / “No, just death. Isn’t that enough?”

Colonel Mustard. Dr. Deaton. Both characters play things close to the vest. Mustard is a conservative older veteran. Dr. Deaton’s seen some shit. Both are verbally challenged but get flustered under certain circumstances. I think Deaton would give the Colonel a better ratio of thoughtfulness to bluster—balance, if you will (yes I fucking went there don’t you look at me like that).

Favorite movie quote: “Just checking.” / “Everything all right?” / “Yep, two corpses, everything’s fine.”

Mrs. White. Lydia Martin. Ironically enough, Mrs. White is the Black Widow of The gang. And who knows the use (or lack thereof) of a man better than Lydia Martin? Seriously, I could see her growing bored and slipping a little somin’-somin’ into Hubby #3’s organic and cruelty-free chicken noodle soup.

Favorite movie quote: “Husbands should be like Kleenex: soft, strong, and disposable.”

Professor Plum. Scott McCall. Good intentions and bad execution? Oh, yeah. However you feel about Scott, neutral like me or in one of the factions, you gotta admit he’s lovable but really needs to sort out his priorities. Like the Prof, he thinks a little too much with his heart (and his dick, don’t forget that). Scott would make Plum more likeable, and Plum’s character would make Scott smarter. Win-win. (Also the image of Scott wearing glasses and a bow tie and smoking a pipe is a top-tier idea).

My favorite movie quote: “So wait a minute. Who did I kill!?” / “My butler.” / “Aw, shucks.”

Miss Scarlet. Erica Reyes. Both women find power in using their sexuality to their advantage. Erica would bring the character a little more vulnerability, and Scarlet would make Erica more confident (rather than blindly arrogant). Mash these two together and you get a femme fatale for the ages!

My favorite movie quote: “Not me.” / “You’re not being blackmailed?!” / “Oh, I’m being blackmailed all right, but I did what I’m being blackmailed for.”

Mr. Green. Stiles Stilinski. Who else? The secret undercover FBI agent whose entire plot device was one big “no homo”?? Stiles would be an interesting choice because Mr. Green is the least talkative of the group and ends up being the butt of jokes instead of the asshole who instigates them. I think it’d be a delightful character study and no one will change my mind.

My favorite movie quote: “Are you a cop?” / “No, I’m a plant.” / “A plant? I thought men like you were usually called a fruit.” / “Ha ha, very funny. FBI.”

I’d go balls to the wall with this AU, make the murder convoluted as shit and confuse everyone just for the fun of it. That’s basically the entire premise of the film, so go wild or go home. No pairings, no real violence, just a bunch of Teen Wolf hijinks.

5 Best Classic Board Games

1. The Game of Life

How could we not include Life in this roundup? We remember playing this game as kids and dreaming about all the possibilities (and responsibilities) that came with being a grown-up—college, marriage, kids, insurance! In this classic game, players each receive a plastic car to maneuver around the game board that represents the move through multiple stages of life, from picking a college to enjoying sweet retirement. The premise of this game is to go through life making smart decisions and eventually be the player who retires first and with the most money. It’s a great game for kids to learn about life lessons in an approachable way, and it’s sure to spark some good conversations when you play together as a family.

2. Clue

The clue is a suspenseful murder mystery game that turns everyone into a detective. There’s been a murder in the Boddy Mansion and it’s up to you to find the culprit. There are only six suspects and you are one of them. Move your game pieces through the rooms and secret passageways of the mansion depicted on the game board to look for clues. Who murdered poor Mr. Boddy? What weapon was used? And where did the incident take place? The more clues you find, the more you will be able to narrow down the many possible answers to those questions. It’s a race against your fellow players to be the first to put all the pieces of this mystery together. No matter your age, it’s always a thrill when you finally solve the crime.

Related Games: If you want you can play this game, Animal Crossings; New Horizons

3. Candy Land

The sweet game of Candy Land conjures up fond childhood memories for us. The whimsical board game features landmarks like a candy cane forest and gumdrop mountains and colorful characters like Mr. Mint and Princess Frostine. The premise of Candy Land is simple, making this a game that even the youngest family members can enjoy. King Kandy is lost and the players are in a race to find him. Players take turns drawing from a stack of cards that tell them where to go on the board. Cards indicate the next move by either color for the next square to move to or a picture of a landmark. The first player to reach the end of the board and find King Kandy wins.

4. Monopoly

The first official Monopoly game hit the market in 1935, and this game of buying property has been creating real estate titans ever since. The board game requires risk and luck, as players buy and trade properties and try to not get thrown in jail. If you have the funds, players are allowed to buy available properties. You can then make income during the game by charging the other players' rent if they land on any of the spaces that you own. In order to win the game, you have to bankrupt your opponents, which can take a while. The idea is to buy enough property on the same part of the board that you create a monopoly and eventually the other players won’t be able to afford to pay your rent anymore.

5. Scrabble

Scrabble is a beloved word game. It’s like a giant word jumble with endless possibilities. Players are given a set number of wooden letter tiles to begin, and each letter is assigned a different point value. You will immediately start analyzing your letter tiles to see what possible word combinations you might be able to create to play the most point-rich words. You’ll want pen and paper nearby to keep track of your scores, and you’ll also probably want a dictionary—it will come in handy when the validity of a word undoubtedly gets challenged. Once one player has used all his or her tiles the game ends and points are tallied, but whoever ends up with the most points is the real winner.
