"Flames! On The Side Of My Face!"

We can't even begin to tell you how many days we wasted (well, maybe not wasted) when we were kids playing Clue at our grandma's house during the summer. See, she didn't have a pool or a lot of neighborhood kids, so it was either board games or the sprinkler...

We can't even begin to tell you how many days we wasted (well, maybe not wasted) when we were kids playing Clue at our grandma's house during the summer. See, she didn't have a pool or a lot of neighborhood kids, so it was either board games or the sprinkler. Every day we had to guess if it was Miss Scarlet in the ballroom with a dagger. Or could it be Colonel Mustard in the kitchen with a lead pipe? We never knew until we opened up that envelope at the end, but we're guessing you know how Clue works. When we got word that there was a film version of the game starring our favorite transsexual scientist, Tim Curry, we were beyond thrilled. So, needless to say that movie was on repeat in the background while we played another game of Clue. The whodunit film will hit the big screen again this Friday and Saturday, as part of Inwood Theatre's (5458 W. Lovers Lane) Midnight Madness. It will also include all three endings, and if you haven't watched it, then we'’re not giving anything away. Our lips are sealed and so is the envelope...for now.
