Merrick wordlessly snaps the reigns, bringing Bucky and the cart to a stop near the water’s edge. With a sigh, he lifts himself off, landing with a squishy thud next to his horse, patting it on it’s neck without looking up. He ambles to a small clearing near the pool and begins unbuckling his armor […]
I wish I could say that I saved the best dinner guest character for last, but in truth Prof. Plum is just a bit of the odd man out. Not to say that he isn’t important; he’s probably one of the strongest characters in the movie, has some of the best gags, has a host […]
While most of the more lively clientele sought out the Dragon during late evenings, the Last Chance kept a more reserved atmosphere. Merrick and Copper’s games of darts had become a fixture at the Last Chance; even after the Toothless Dragon opened its doors. The pair kept the competition between them light and preferred the […]
These remaining character studies I fear will be much shorter than the first few so far. And that’s not to say because these characters aren’t interesting; it’s that I’ve covered a lot of my plot holes and logical issues I’ve had with them already. I’m sure it would be tedious for me to just keep […]
I feel like I haven’t been giving the cast their comedic due on these character studies, so I’ll take this time to gush a bit. As far as the movie goes, Martin Mull’s performance of Col. Mustard is probably the funniest in the film. I know, that is a very tall order when the rest […]
“They say patience is a virtue, Clara” Bluenote quipped thru the commlink as her legs instinctively squeezed his titanium haunches – her free hand swiping the water bottle from its coaster. The starting box that was once filled with the sound of metal servos and pistons as their mounts had gotten into their positions was […]
So I’d always had it stick in my craw about how 2 of the 3 endings were not physically possible ever since I first watched the movie. And the thought of Mr. Green throwing out his own bogus reason for being blackmailed to avoid the real reason coming out. But, while writing the Ms. Scarlet […]
“So, I get to watch a brand new spell in the making, huh?” Galen quipped, trying to break some of the tension threatening his resolve. Although he himself wouldn’t be in any danger, he couldn’t help but think back to the week before when he joined Alarius on a visit to the forest elves where […]
Had so much fun writing up my Mr. Green character study, I thought I’d do a series. So, here’s the next-most-interesting character from the movie: Ms. Scarlet. In the last one of these I had a deep theory on Mr. Green’s backstory. This time around it’s a bit more straight-forward: The only ending that works […]
So, I saw a twitter breakdown of the movie CLUE, comparing it to an old 1960s(?) version of “Ten Little Indians”. It is offhand lamented that the scriptwriters felt they needed to make sure a homosexual didn’t end up being the hero. So, in the closing scene of the 3rd and “real” ending of the […]
