Recommendations: Clue (1985)

I watched Adolescence.

I'm reading "There Are No Accidents."

I listened and recommended Penelope Trappes' "A Requiem."

All quality but... heavy. You know what's needed? Something light, and fun, but don't let those two words trick you into expecting slop. It's funny how much of discussion I saw of the Barbie Movie was the effort put into it despite the subject matter, 'cause not only does Clue achieve the same surprise in 1985, I'd argue with more quality (and I liked Barbie).

It's been a long time since I've seen a movie with such absurdity and hilarity have so much craft in its performances, editing, pacing, and even structure. I was roped into a group watch-party hosted by people who've seen the movie several times, and I won't be surprised if I do the same thing for others.

P.S. Laugh it up, Screenfunfan.
