Clue is an enjoyable movie mainly for the one-liners. So you can basically skip past all the annoying middle plot bits, and just watch the first hour and last fifteen minutes.

Steve and I have started the Foreign Film Fest at the Cult of the Red Door. We broke in with Brotherhood of the Wolf, which is a Hong Kong action flick done by the frogs. With a serious goth sensibility. It was definitely enjoyable but OMG was it a freaky ass movie. Incest, whorehouse, secret societies dedicated to the end of the world, and guillotines. (Well, ok, no actual guillotines.) And a magical Indian dude (native american). The director needs some serious smacking around, or at least an editor who could go behind his back and chop the movie up. Unnecessarily long and gory.

I suppose next we'll watch Red or White or something.

well, if they're still BEING goth, that means they haven't slashed their wrists yet, which ipso facto makes them one of the sensible ones.

simple.

that's counterintuitive. if they're goth, they obviously don't have much going on in their lives that's worth a fucking piss - so if they haven't slashed their wrists yet, that would not be sensible whatsoever.

the ones that have slashed their wrists seem like the sensible ones to me.

this debate gives a whole new meaning to the title Sense and Sensibility.

But actually, your way fits the movie better - I haven't seen it, but I know it's full of losers dying messily and bloodily left and right. So "goth sensibility" would equate to "you're a loser, so die already", which the movie apparently has going on in spades.
