Hasbro Quarterly Report

Oh no question about it.

I wonder if Parker Brothers, the Hasbro subsidary in charge of boardgames, is bigger than WOTC in terms of revenue?

re: Boardgame movies

You guys are pulling my leg right? There was a CLUE movie? And they're going to do a MONOPOLY movie?

SERIOUSLY?

yup. the clue movie had tim curry iirc it came out in the mid 80s.

Not just Tim Curry, but also (the immortal, exceptional, late, great, gone, but not forgotten) Madeline Kahn, Lesley Ann Warren, Martin Mull, Christopher Lloyd, Michael McKean, and Howard Hesseman, among others.

Clue was filmed with multiple surprise endings, and they would switch it up every showing in the theater. Most DVD re-issues contain all the various endings.

It was co-written by John Landis (Animal House, Blues Brothers, etc.) and directed by Johnathan Lynn (My Cousin Vinny), and, as one might expect from such a pedigree, is something of a cult classic.

It IS! That is one of my all time favorite comedies. It is also very quotable. It is just a great, smart, witty, and silly movie. If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and go watch it today.

Clue actually happens to be one of my favoriate comedies. Somebody took a genius pill when they were figuring out what to do with that one.

If someone wins third prize in a beauty contest, it will all be worth it.

Seriously- Clue is one of the all time top awesomes.

I can imagine a Wall Street take on a Monopoly film that would be quite fun.

Gordon Gecko taking over Boardwalk and Park Place by devious means, and putting up hotels there.

New round of EN Worlders trying to make it mean something for D&D.

I dunno. I hardly think positing James Earl Jones as the Battleship is us making anything mean... much of anything.

Clue is an awesome movie, and I will headbutt anyone who says otherwise.
