Candy Land The Movie

Clue the Movie - Good Idea. Clue The Remake - Bad Idea. 
Candy Land the Movie - What!!!

Why would someone want to make a movie out of Candy Land, the children's game about racing around the board and reaching the end to rescue King Kandy, who has been kidnapped by the evil Lord Licorice. I honestly don't know why anyone would choose to make a movie out of Candy Land, but it might be successful. Who knows how many kids will get their parents to take them to see Princess Lolly dance through the forest on the big screen. Anyway, the movie will be directed by Kevin Lima, who brought us "Enchanted" and the script will be written by Etan Cohen. I will keep you posted.

Meet Mustard

I am happy to announce that one of the most beloved Clue characters has recently joined my blog. Incidentally, he is also the first Clue character to arrive at the mansion in the movie. Yes, Mustard is here. And he can be contacted at Cornelmustard@gmail.com. Enjoy!

Sh-Boom

As I have already mentioned, there are two songs in Clue, Sh-Boom and Shake, Rattle, and Roll. Here are the lyrics to Sh-Boom.

Hey nonny ding dong, alang alang alang

Boom ba-doh, ba-doo ba-doodle-ay

Oh, life could be a dream (sh-boom)

If I could take you up in paradise up above (sh-boom)

If you would tell me I'm the only one that you love

Life could be a dream, sweetheart

(Hello, hello again, sh-boom and hopin' we'll meet again)

Oh, life could be a dream (sh-boom)

If only all my precious plans would come true (sh-boom)

If you would let me spend my whole life lovin' you

Life could be a dream, sweetheart

Now every time I look at you

Something is on my mind (dat-dat-dat-dat-dat-duh)

If you do what I want you to

Baby, we'd be so fine!

Oh, life could be a dream (sh-boom)

If I could take you up in paradise up above (sh-boom)

If you would tell me I'm the only one that you love

Life could be a dream, sweetheart

Sh-boom sh-boom Ya-da-da Da-da-da Da-da-da Da

Sh-boom sh-boom Ya-da-da Da-da-da Da-da-da Da

Sh-boom sh-boom Ya-da-da Da-da-da Da-da-da Da, sh-boom!

Sh-boom sh-boom Ya-da-da Da-da-da Da-da-da Da

Sh-boom sh-boom Ya-da-da Da-da-da Da-da-da Da

Sh-boom sh-boom Ya-da-da Da-da-da Da-da-da Da, sh-boom!

Every time I look at you

Somethin' is on my mind

If you do what I want you to

Baby, we'd be so fine!

Life could be a dream

If I could take you up in paradise up above

If you would tell me I'm the only one that you love

Life could be a dream, sweetheart

(Hello hello again, sh-boom and hopin' we'll meet again) boom sh-boom

Hey nonny ding dong, alang alang alang (sh-boom)

Ba-doh, ba-doo ba-doodle-ay

Life could be a dream

Life could be a dream, sweetheart!

Life could be a dream

If only all my precious plans would come true

If you would let me spend my whole life loving you

Life could be a dream, sweetheart

(dee-oody-ooh, sh-boom, sh-boom)

(dee-oody-ooh, sh-boom, sh-boom)

(dee-oody-ooh, sh-boom, sh-boom)

Sweetheart!!

Clue The Remake

Sure, plenty of films deserve remakes. I've been disappointed with quite a few films that actually had potential. But, for those of you who don't know, Gore Verbinski will be making a remake of Clue. I'm sure that this is a very bad idea. I mean , I know that Clue wasn't a very big success. But it is impossible to beat the cast or the script. There is no way that any actor could be a better Wadsworth than Tim Curry or a better Mrs. Pecock than Eileen Brennan. The cast worked together so well and really seemed to be into the parts they played. I mean, do you remember:

Plum: What are you afraid of, a fate worse than death?

Peacock: No just death. Isn't that enough?

And Madeline Kahn's Flames on the Side of my Face line is unforgettable. No matter how good the new Clue is, it will always have to live in the original Clue's shadow. Enough said.

Also, how good will it be? I think that it will suck. Well, Gore will have to work hard to meet the expectations. Can he do it? I think not.

Clue Credits

Clue the movie has some amazing music. I've had Sh-Boom (Life Could be a Dream) going through my head ever since I first heard in in the movie. However, here are the ending credits, with Shake, Rattle, and Roll, the only other song in the movie, in the background.

Peacock Pictures

Crazy Mrs. Peacock. My favorite Clue character of all time. I don't know why, but I really like her. I especially like the way she is depicted in the movie by Eileen Brennan. But Mrs. P has really changed over time. Here she is on several cards.

Here are some pictures of Peacock in the movie.

I hope you liked these pictures. Maybe I will post pictures of some of the other suspects.
