Watch Along: Clue!

Comments

1000thghost

One of my favorite movies and now you all know why if you have not seen it yet. Thanks Ashleigh... and Beans.

Eric Greenwood

Or if you are like me you remember all the lines and scenes without watching it LOL yes i am that weird

Mark Dunham

This is the first time I'll be doing the Watch Along. Been doing Watch Full Movie. So, what is the best way y'all have figure out how to do this? Thanks! I have a MacBook and Apple TV 4k

Jill Peterson

I'm so happy you watched CLUE! Gotta love Tim Curry! He also stars as Darkness in the movie Legend, and as Frank N Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. That'd be a good one for a "musicals month".

I have some suggestions... The Watch along is kind of a hassle but since I can't afford the next tier I have to put up with it... first we had the lag issues, that's solved, thank you. Sometimes it's hard to keep it synchronized specially when I have to pause it for whatever reason. Or like what happened to me a couple of minutes ago when the window I had the Watch-along on crashed and now I have to start the movie from the beginning because I have no way to synchronize it... It's not a complain really, it's more like offering a solution... It would help if like every 10 or 15 minutes you could give us a few seconds of the movie so we can synch it with our copy... like you do at the beginning... sooo, that's it... thanks... please don't take it the wrong way, I still enjoy watching with you inmmensly... thank you!

Eric Greenwood

he was also in Annie, Another Musical the muppets treasure island so many roles

Jill Peterson

Lee Ving, who plays Mr. Body, is lead singer of the punk band, FEAR.

Mark Dunham

The Full Movie is not available right now on the next tier. Not sure what happened. Probably copyright. Ashleigh will let us know when/if she figure something out.

Jill Peterson

Yes. Rooster. And so many stage shows, and TV appearances. I adore him.

Kenton Kruger

I do agree with the having a couple sync points in case of interruption, especially if she ends up doing something longer like a Boogie Nights.

Jeramie

I missed the part in There's Something About Mary where it was the deluxe edition so I was all over the place trying to sync up with her reactions. It was funny later after figuring it out but yeah, would love a couple sync points. Bout to get started with Clue! Love this movie!!!

Kathy Ice

In the original theatrical release, the movie had three different endings and you would only see one of them. The theater listing would show whether you would see ending A, B, or C. This confused the crap out of people, which probably contributed to the movie being a box office flop. I think that's one of the reasons you don't hear much about it. But the people who have discovered it love it. And yes, I saw it in theaters because I am Very Old, LOL.

There is a simple way to re-sync the movie any time you need: Note the time on the actual movie when it starts and note the time in Ashleigh's video when that same point in the movie occurs. With that you can determine how much time difference there is at any point. The Paramount logo disappeared at 14 seconds into the movie on Amazon Prime. The Paramount logo disappeared at 2 minutes 34 seconds into the movie in Ashleigh's video. Ashleigh's video is 2 minutes 20 seconds ahead because of her introduction. Therefore, whatever the time is in the source video, just go to 2 mintues 20 seconds later in Ashleigh's video. At 1:00:00 into the source video, Ashleigh's video will be at 1:02:20. At 0:38:55, Ashleigh's will be 0:41:15. Just need to do the math once and make a note of it in case you want to re-sync. This won't work, of course, if Ashleigh is watching a different version of the movie, like There's Something About Mary.

Monica Alarcon

But math is haaaaaard... No not really, I'm really good at math, I did think about that. Also I tried using a video editor to make a single video like the full videos she posts. But then she paused the movie at one point during "There's Something About Mary" and that was the end of that... really, I don't mind the watch-alongs, it's worth it but just some aids to make it easier to watch would be appreciated...

Dave Frostdusk

I'm old enough to remember this in theaters and still have never watched it. Guess I'm gonna be doing that now.

David Patterson

Continuity error: Both Mrs. Peacock and Mrs. White are shown on their respective floors after the power is turned off. This makes the second and third endings improbable, though the third one is my favorite. It's the one I saw in the theater and it's the only one that uses the board game ending. ('Suspect' did it in the 'room' with the 'weapon') Those who saw it in theaters, which ending did you see?

Amy Silknitter

Love that you loved this. This movie is phenomenal.

Bill Bevins

This is the first time doing a watch along. Watched the movie on TV and had watched Ashleigh on my Android tablet. It worked pretty well that way. If I have the movie on my DVR or if I have the DVD I will do it again.

Emily Smith

FYI - All the rooms in the movie are in the correct position in relation to each other as the board game. Also, the secret passages are in their correct locations and lead to the correct places. I even dare say the parque floor in the hall matches the design on the original board game (or is very close to it!).

Anonymous

I will surely watchalong with you. Can't wait.

Emily Smith

Also, when it was in theaters, the theaters were given different copies that had each of one of the three endings so when word got around when people talked about how it ended and there were different answers....people had to go back and see it again...and again! LOL

Robert Ballard

This is one of those movies that we had bootlegged from HBO or whatever via VHS during my early childhood (born 1980) and that I just watched constantly. Unlike others from that same pool ("My Best Friend is a Vampire", for example) this one absolutely holds up. I would say it is top 10 desert island movies for me. Also, I appreciate so much more of the comedy now as an adult. The cast, the dialogue, the slapstick, and the timing are all top notch (Colonel Mustard was played by the actor Martin Mull, by the way; you asked). They even had a (mostly) respectful and sympathetic portrayal of a gay male character which was way ahead of the time, albeit slightly undercut by the reveal that it was a ruse. I also agree that this movie does not get as much discussion and recognition as it deserves. The concept of a movie adaptation of a board-game is rightly laughable (hello, Battleship) but Clue was by definition a narratively driven game aligned with a genre that was already cinematic (murder mystery/parlor mystery) so it worked out. One last bit of trivia; I believe the game Clue was an American adaptation of an even earlier British board-game called Cluedo. Not sure about the spelling or to what degree the American version might have deviated from the original British version.

Lynnetta

Yay! I finished my first watch along. That was so much fun! I felt like Ashleigh and I were hanging out watching a movie together :) Now I need to go back and catch up on all of the other watch alongs I've been procrastinating on.

Lynnetta

You got the spelling of Cluedo correct. I saw it in the movie credits. 👍

Snow Goon

Oh wow. I loved "My Best Friend is a Vampire" when I was younger.

Kristofer Foster

I only ever caught the end(s) of this when i was about 8 or 9 on HBO and all I remembered was Tim Curry's frantic scrambling about explaining everything, so it was good for me to finally have a reason to watch the whole film. It was a perfect synch this time between watch along and film. You're doing such a great job Ashleigh!!!

Lynnetta

Thanks, Mark! I've put off watching her reactions to Ghost and Steel Magnolias because I love both of those movies and it's been a long time since I've seen them. I thought it would be fun to revisit the movies with her :) I also want to watch along to Groundhog Day (I've only seen bits of the movie) and Tombstone (which I've never seen). I need to make some time for watching movies!

ryanrichey13

Yes, thank you; it is so hard to not quote 'every' line in this movie; grew up with this one.

"Is she dead too? Did she get got!?! Oh... look at that cake." I love the roller coaster of emotions!
