Bad Movies We Love: Clue

For once in Bad Movies We Love history, I’m both speechless and teary-eyed. The holiday season is here, and as far as I’m concerned, that means it’s time to wheel out the movies that are fucking dependable — the ones that enrich our families, provide nourishment for our newborns, and encourage Jesus to be more of a hilarious character actress. For me, this means one movie — my favorite movie — and one that could be considered bad if you are a heartless, freakish, braindead moviegoer who thinks that skittish ensemble comedies based on board games might be stupid. I would strangle those people in a poorly lit billiard room. The movie is Clue, it’s the one thing on Earth I’m positive I love, and I want to hug you as I write this. Girl, let’s hold our candlesticks high, our dignities low, and bludgeon the daylights out of Mr. Boddy. Where to begin, darlings? Even in terms of campy, overpopulated ’80s comedies, Clue is an anomaly. It resembles the (pretty unwatchable) Peter Sellers murder mystery Murder By Death in appearance and tone — and Eileen Brennan flaps about in both — but Clue defies the familiar whodunit genre with three strange attributes: 1. A rigid adherence to the characters, gameplay, and vaguely glamorous world inside Clue’s 2-D mansion; 2. An excess of jokes concerning Communism, J. Edgar Hoover, and shady politicians of the 1950s; 3. A cast that is trying so hard to sell every one-liner, aside, and petty plot machination that we see steam fly up from Lesley Ann Warren’s dcolletage every four minutes. For a frothy mystery comedy, it is deeply labored effort. I can’t gauge how or if a first-time viewer will appreciate the charismatic brio I so deeply cherish here. In fact, to an amateur, Clue may just seem like a barrage of underwritten jokes. But I don’t care. I am an indoctrinated attendee in Clue’s sprawling manor, and I can’t limit myself to choosing five fabulous parts of the movie. Since I ruined your life last week with Who’s That Girl, I’ll edify you with a lengthier tribute to Clue’s greatness. I’m picking its 25 most amazing moments. You can’t stop me — not with your revolver, your Jell-O rendering of Colleen Camp, or your Academy Award nomination for Private Benjamin. Sit back and giggle at the splendor. (I realize that some of this won’t make sense to first-timers, but please just let me freestyle here. True Clue lovers can’t blather enough about their adoration. Spoilers everywhere.) 25. The absolute lamest joke about Communism possible — repeated twice. Allow Miss Scarlet (the ravishing, Oscar-nominated Sarandon doppelganger Lesley Ann Warren) to define Communism for you. Pretty fishy! 24. The shamelessly hacky plot For the uninformed: Clue is about the game’s six familiar characters (Miss Scarlet, Professor Plum, etc.) who are invited to a dinner party. Their host Wadsworth (Tim-effing-Curry) introduces them to a man named Mr. Boddy, who Wadsworth reveals is blackmailing all of them. Boddy turns up dead. Then other peripheral characters turn up dead. Wadsworth solves the murders and begins to explain how he figured them out. Then the movie treats us to — pay attention now — three separate endings, each with a different explanation for the 6-7 murders that occur in the mansion. Vamping and jokes ensue. Credits. It’s “Choose Your Own Adventure” for an Agatha Christie crowd. You’re hooked or you’re not a person. 23. Unnecessarily fantastic and nonsensical cameo #1: A character from Madeline Kahn’s past Wadsworth, in the throes of explaining how each of the murders occurred in ending #3, accuses the dark and mysterious Mrs. White of strangling Yvette the maid. He declares, “You were jealous that your husband was schtupping Yvette — that’s why you killed him, too!” The word “schtupping” is no accident. Madeline Kahn earned her second Oscar nom for playing Lili von Shtupp in Blazing Saddles. And Clue, of course, knows that you know that. Because it loves us. 22. Mr. Boddy is played by a notorious SNL musical guest. Lee Ving, the aptly monikered actor who plays Clue’s famously offed victim, possesses a hotheaded, Sean Penn-adjacent grit as Mr. Boddy. Indeed, he’s a true showbiz rioter: As the lead singer of the L.A. punk outfit Fear, Ving led a Saturday Night Live musical performance that devolved into audience stage-diving and thrashing. Producer Dick Ebersol stopped the performance midway through and cut to a pre-taped rehearsal performance in its place. That’s about as rock n’ roll as Clue gets. Because ahem: 21. The soundtrack — for white people who love white people who rip off black people Clue is set in 1954 New England, and the hilariously pre-Elvis soundtrack reflects that. The two key records playing throughout the manor are Bill Haley and the Comets’ tidy rendition of Big Joe Turner’s much more libidinous “Shake, Rattle, and Roll” and the white doo-wop group the Crew Cuts’ version of The Chords’ “Sh-Boom.” Go back to the Delta and whine about it, black innovators! The whites are loving their un-syncopated good times. Shake it, Yvette.

FCC Passes Act to Turn Down Volume on TV Ads

After four years at the top of the LA Times' newsroom, editor and executive vice president Russ Stanton will step down on Dec. 23. He will be succeeded by managing editor Davan Maharaj. Stanton, 52, joined the LA Times in 1997 as a business reporter in Orange County. During Stanton's tenure as editor, the newsroom staff shrank from more than 900 people to approximately 550 through layoffs and amid reports that the publication's film and TV advertising revenues have shrunk. The newspaper also, however, expanded its digital reach to more than 17 million readers and won three Pulitzer Prizes. "I'm very proud of what this staff has accomplished over the last four years," Stanton, said in the announcement. "This is a newsroom filled with dedicated, knowledgeable and experienced journalists, and under Davan's leadership there is continued greatness ahead for the Los Angeles Times." "Russ Stanton has been an outstanding editor for the Los Angeles Times over the past four years," said Times President and Chief Operating Officer Kathy Thomson. "As he moves on to the next phase of his career, we are extremely fortunate to have someone as talented and experienced as Davan Maharaj, who can step in immediately with energy and vision for how to continue The Times' advancement in the digital age." Maharaj, 49, will be the LA Times' 15th editor. He has worked at the paper for 22 years and previously held the posts of assistant foreign editor and Business editor with stints in Orange County, Los Angeles and East Africa. "I am humbled and honored to lead one of the most talented and resilient newsrooms in the nation," he said. "We've made huge strides in getting our journalism to wide and diverse audiences across Southern California and beyond. We will continue to push forward, especially in the digital and mobile space. Our commitment to delivering high-quality journalism remains unwavering." Related Topics Los Angeles Times

Charlie Sheen's 'Anger Management' Lands First International Deal With Canada's CTV

Myers will write the story, which will act as a prequel to the movies, though the NY Post reported that he will not star in the production. Sources tell THR that the musical will be set in 1960s London and detail how Powers first acquired his mighty mojo.

The movies had a "fake movie" self-awareness to them, sometimes playing up the fact that parts were taking place on soundstages. The movies also featured musical numbers and montages, and Myers is said to consider the movies to be musicals. He also is a fan of Bacharach's music (The Look of Love is Myers' father favorite song). Incidentally, it was first heard in the 1967 Bond satire Casino Royale and was nominated for the best song Oscar.

Guy Ritchie on Sherlock Holmes 2, Powerful Friends, Madonna, and His RocknRolla Sequel

The stakes are higher and the villains far more treacherous (Moriarty!), but everything in Sherlock Holmes 2: A Game of Shadows is of a piece with the 2009 predecessor that introduced Robert Downey Jr.’s turn as the titular OCD turn of the century sleuth. For director Guy Ritchie it’s felt like one long evolution from the days of Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels; now, at the helm of his biggest film to date — which features some of the most innovative action sequences of the season — Ritchie is firmly in his wheelhouse. As he told Movieline recently in Los Angeles, “I enjoy playing in a bigger sandbox… and I enjoy having powerful friends to help me manifest a vision.” Said sandbox feels considerably roomier this go-round with Holmes, who finds himself obsessing over his newly discovered nemesis Moriarty (played splendidly by Jared Harris), the evil mastermind behind a plot that could bring all of Europe to the brink of war. Recapturing the jaunty tone that made Sherlock Holmes a commercial and critical hit, Ritchie ups the ante with a new female foil (Swedish actress Noomi Rapace, the original Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), kinetic new action techniques dreamed up for the film, and an even more overt man-love between Holmes and his loyal right hand man, Dr. Watson (Jude Law). Movieline caught up with Ritchie to discuss how the Sherlock sequel came together, the benefits of the aforementioned “powerful friends,” his recent comments about his marriage to Madonna, and when that long-awaited RocknRolla sequel will happen. When it came time to decide where to go with the sequel, did you feel there were a lot of potential different story directions to go in? Not really. It was very early on that the decision was made that it was going to be about war, and then that evolved from there. That was a completely ongoing creative process until really we finished filming. The plot here taps into a revisionist fantasy; what if Sherlock Holmes could have stopped World War I? I thought an important aspect of the philosophy behind the film, if you will, is that maybe Moriarty isn’t the problem. Maybe the problem lies in the human condition. I like that because it stops pointing the finger at anyone in particular and it points more at the human condition than it does at an individual. In a traditional sense we’ve got a villain that we can blame, but then he points the finger at everyone else and I think that’s a plausible accusation that he makes. Hence, well, there was a war wasn’t there? And the quote is, “Hidden in the unconscious is an insatiable desire for conflict.” I like the idea that Moriarty had somehow capitalized on that. He knew eventually, however big the gun got would be how big the conflict would become. History has illustrated that point most eloquently. Do you think or hope that your audience reads deeper elements into Sherlock Holmes? Noomi Rapace’s Sim has a line, for example, where she talks about not having papers. That’s because she’s a gypsy! But listen, I don’t care if you take any philosophy away from it or you don’t, it’s up to the individual, but I like the idea that we thought about those things, and I like the idea that it has that dimension to it. But I’m afraid not having papers doesn’t mean anything to me as an Englishman, right, so it’s wasted on me. But I like the idea that we thought about it. This is a sequel that builds on its predecessor, like all great sequels do, which allows you to comment on not only what happened previously but also address the critical and audience reaction to the first film. And one area in which Game of Shadows seems to embrace even more this time around is the love between Sherlock and Holmes - it’s almost post-bromantic, so beyond subtext that it’s overt. Yeah, and that to a small degree was what I gleaned from Conan Doyle’s Holmes and Watson. Partly, they needed to be camp to balance the macho aspect of their characters. Plus, no one else was doing that thing. So that worked. But also, to me this doesn’t feel so much as a sequel as it does the ongoing narrative of Holmes and Watson; it lends itself to a very long story of Holmes and Watson, it was designed as such. So it just feels like an ongoing saga to me. Your Sherlock-O-Vision, in which Holmes predicts a sequence of events in his mind before they happen, was a great idea in the first film. Here you build on that with a great twist, which I won’t spoil. But you also here have a forest action sequence playing with speeds and camera rigs to great effect. Do you conceive of these visual techniques beforehand — are these tricks that you’re itching to try? Yeah, usually, and then you come up with a theme that you think will work. And then on the day you find out if it really works. Like the forest sequence, I had the idea of two cameras on a speed rail — that meant that everything about that camera was moving ultra-fast, the frame speed and the physical projection of the camera itself. So there was a lot in there and I hoped that it was going to produce an interesting aesthetic — and I wasn’t really sure until I got on with it. I extended a couple of days when I saw it was working. Most directors seem to try out new techniques like that on smaller projects or shorts before doing it full on in a film. I usually do, I usually shoot a commercial a year and try to stick whatever it is I’m interested in into the commercial. But you do it on movies too; you try an idea in the first movie and you can fully exploit it in the second. Which visual trick were you most proud to pull off? I think I probably like the forest sequence most. I’ve seen the forest sequence hundreds of times and I still like watching it, so that’s probably my favorite sort of “fuck-dust” scene, if you will. “Fuck-dust?” Fuck-dust, yeah. [Laughs] In terms of being through a lot of tinsel, which I enjoy. It’s enough to keep me stimulated in all sorts of ways. Lovely! Going back to your beginnings, Lock, Stock is so much a part of your story but you’ve come so far in terms of the kinds of films you’re making and the budgets you’re working with. What is the biggest difference in terms of how you make films? I’m not sure, I’ve sort of forgotten about the experience. Well, I haven’t forgotten it but I don’t sort of look back on them, really. You know, filmmaking is pretty much after a while about confidence and zeroes, and the zeroes are less intimidating than you might think. But there has been an evolution; the first job I did was for 250 pounds, the next one was for 1,000 pounds, the next was for 5,000 pounds. Then 25,000, then 50,000, and then a million. Then a million to five, and ten, and fifteen to whatever the last one was. So it’s evolved, and now the zeroes I don’t find as intimidating as I would’ve. And I enjoy playing in a bigger sandbox. I enjoy the tools. And I enjoy having powerful friends to help me manifest a vision, essentially. Filmmaking’s great fun but it’s even more fun if you’ve got friends with deep pockets that are also deeply invested in the process. And by powerful friends you mean your producers? Yeah, producers at a studio which have been nothing but helpful for me. Do you find you have to fight frequently over projects? Occasionally you fight, but I think a studio wants you to fight. People fight with me and often I want them to fight with me just to test a theory. Sometimes a theory needs to be tested and sometimes you need to stick a flag in the ground to find out whether the theory is valid. People put forward valid arguments or they don’t. I suppose it’s like a court of law in that sense; things and theories need to be tested, and often that means people get excited and arguments are involved, but that’s all part of the creative process. Giving birth is painful. By a coincidence of timing, Madonna’s film W.E. is coming out around the same time as Sherlock Holmes 2; you recently described your marriage to Madonna as a soap opera, but do you think the filmmaking impulse in any way influenced her during your time together? I don’t know, she’s always been interested in film. Actually, I sort of encouraged her to be interested in film and she used quite a lot of my crew on her film. I haven’t seen her film and I haven’t read her script so it’s hard for me to comment, but I wish her the best with it. And I think most people’s marriages are like soap operas so I don’t know if I’m unique in that sense, to a degree, but I suppose it was exceptionally operatic. [Smiles] But then as I say I suppose everyone’s is at some point or another. And finally, is there any movement on that RocknRolla sequel you’ve been wanting to make? You know, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about it! I’ve written a script, I think it’s a great script, and Joel [Silver] wants to pay for me to do it. But up until now we haven’t had the time to do it. It’s sitting there and we’d all like to do it, it’s just a question of when we’re going to fit it in. So we’ll wait and see. Wait until after Sherlock Holmes 2 opens? [Nods] Everything changes once a film’s released. I just have to wait until this film is released before I can even predict what’s going to happen next.

'Mission Impossible' In Dubai: Decoding 'Ghost Protocol'

by Joel Hanek MTV News reporter Josh Horowitz and producer Joel Hanek are presently in Dubai since the world premiere of "Jason Bourne: Ghost Protocol." They are their tales. Fact: Tom Cruise loves to make things difficult*. Upon reading through the script for "Jason Bourne: Ghost Protocol" to see that there is a powerful action scene that will require Ethan Search to repel from the skyscraper, I'm able to only imagine his reaction to director Kaira Bird was: "This really is perfect. No thanks, I will not need a stuntman. Oh, and P.S., are you able to make that building I must climb the highest one on the planet? You realize, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai? Awesome, thanks!" Simply because Mr. Cruise really loves to create things difficult*, one needs to fly midway around the world simply to interview the guy, because the worldwide press junket for that latest "Mission" installment has been locked in Dubai, where entertainment journalists will don't forget that yes, Tom Cruise repelled the outer walls from the Burj Khalifa, your building you're in at this time company, it is simply another indication of your reason for insufficient when in comparison to Tom Cruise. Essentially, our trip continues to be much like "Sex and also the City 2," except replace the 4 sexually adventurous female protagonists with two hairy brainiacs (I never saw "SATC 2," but I am speculating Barbara and Samantha did not reference "Robocop" several occasions throughout their travels). After an 11-hour transatlantic flight along with a marathon well over-ripened movies from early summer time (remarkably overlooked? "Source Code." With no, I wasn't misty eyed throughout "The Assistance,Inch it had been the modification in cabin pressure. It's science, everyone), we finally showed up within the Persian Gulf the 2009 week. When "love" couldn't justify Alvy Singer's feelings for Annie Hall, he invented the term "lurve." Possibly a much better author could describe Dubai's beauty, but for the time being I'll chalk up towards the ineffable because 1) there would not be lots of time to describe all its question and splendor, 2) you most likely have Google (you are reading through this on the web...but I am only taking a chance) and three) we now have important try to do: INTERVIEW THE S--T From TOM CRUISE. As well as, hopefully, geek out a bit when costar Simon Pegg approaches. Stay updated for tomorrow for MTV News: Protocol: Ghost Protocol! *: By difficult, we mean awesome!

Strauss-Schulson Targets Final Girls

Dark comedy for Harold & Kumar directorIt's hardly done Twilight money, but the relative success of A Very Harold And Kumar 3D Christmas at the US box office has given director Todd Strauss-Schulson his pick of inexpensive future projects. The one he's gone with is horror comedy Final Girls, which is coming together at New Line.The title refers to the well-worn slasher movie trope of whittling down a cast of teens until there's only a Final Girl to take on the maniac. Jamie Lee Curtis is the final girl in Halloween, for example, as is Marilyn Burns in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Wolf Creek played with those genre expectations quite cleverly, and comics heroine Cassie Hack (pictured - any excuse) is a final girl-turned-professional slasher killer.Sadly, there's still little sign of the long-developing Hack/Slash film actually happening.Final Girls revolves around a girl called Max whose mother was a 1980s scream queen, but disappeared. When Max and her friends are magically sucked into the world of a famous slasher film, she finds herself reunited with her starring mom, and the two have to take down the movie's psycho together. We're guessing it doesn't go well for Max's pals.The official line is "Friday The 13th meets Back To The Future", but everybody is studiously avoiding saying the obvious, which is that this sounds like a horror Last Action Hero. Has nobody involved read Empire issue 269?Writers Mark Fortin and Josh Miller are currently making their own revisions to their spec script, but casting and shooting may have to wait until Strauss-Schulson is finished with the similarly humorous but less frightening Family Getaway.

Goldstine stated, observing that U's marketing team, before his arrival, had already made the decision to provide "Bridesmaids" like a noticeably different type of female-driven comedy. That switched to function as the right call. Altering individuals anticipation enabled the film in general to "make use of that which was so naturally human and relatable for the reason that movie: to embrace smashing the rules," stated Goldstine.

It's already against all odds these films get acquired."Mundorff stated it might be shortsighted to phase out classical marketing tools. He stated does not anticipate a period when film advertisements no more come in newspapers."People read reviews and reviews drive our business," Mundorff stated. "When the industry abandons newspapers, newspapers will abandon reviews."The biz, panelists agreed, needs to figure out ways to improve the moviegoing experience in general.InchOur theaters are places of worship, and let me preach to cinema fans of various variations," stated Henri Mazza, chief creative officer from the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, whose chain of theaters depends on positive person to person and serving alcohol inside a more laidback setting to draw in auds.The Texas-based chain has 10 locations, mostly inside the Lone Star condition, and something in Winchester, Virginia, but is searching to grow into La and NY soon."The initial few years involved perfecting the knowledge,Inch Mazza stated.
