George Parr Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 59 minutes ago, firedeep said: What I said was more of a query. You dont need to be so defensive. Yeah, no. A query would be something like "so this is in the mold of Agatha Christie, yes?". You, on the other hand, went with a very clear negative connotation (lame, copycat). It also seems rather odd to pretend that this genre was somehow limited to Agatha Christie. This style of storytelling was widespread back in the days. Sherlock Holmes would be another obvious example. There was nothing defensive about what Deep Wang said, just annoyance at people who seem to judge stuff without having any idea about it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So smart. I watched it for the first time a few months ago. I thought it was quite good despite not being remotely amused by any of the comedy in it. I don't know how anyone finds 80s comedy to be funny. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't open til 29th November here so hoping spoilers aren’t everywhere online beforehand. For a whodunnit, avoiding spoiler is not the best thing, it's the only thing.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky the early reviews are so great, because marketing for this has kind of sucked. Whodunnits are always hard to market; because of the nature of the beast you are a lot more limited in what you can show and not spoil it then you are for most films.

Both are more parodies of murder mysteries then the real thing. Nothing wrong with that, it's just that you are not getting the genuine article . For that you need something more serious like "Murder On The Orient Express" . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
