A lame Agatha Christie copycat?

Oh, so you've seen it to know it's lame?

1)He's specifically mentioned Agatha Christie multiple times.  

2)You have also seen it to know the comedy is lame?

This Clue slander isn't allowed.

My Mom and I watched Clue for the time last week -- in the theater -- and it was DELIGHTFUL.  So smart.

What I said was more of a query. You dont need to be so defensive.

Murder by Death (1976) is much better than Clue (1985)

Yet that doesn't have Tim Curry, does it?

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.

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.

Deciding not to watch this trailer and go in totally fresh. 

 

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....

Those posters are an eyesore. 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.

And neither one is a really classic whodunnit. 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" .

Is Gosford Park worth a look?

That is why you need to see it first thing on its release.

I'm also expecting trolls to try to ruin it before it gets to wide release.

Some are already trying.  Beware any twitter threads on official posts or YT comments.

I'll keep it in mind, but there's too many Twitter feeds I like to keep an eye on.  I'll just have to be careful to stay away from the ones that will attract this particular form of troll.
