murder on the orient express - who's in?

[AmandaRuth]

it's Mueller Time and the Blue Wave - I'm in a mood to see a lighthearted movie and be happy

This looks like it might do, plus it looks like it might be interactive in a fun way, look for the clues - it starts Friday

[First Speaker]

1. Since everybody in the world knows the solution to this mystery...

...and it was done definitively back in 1974...I wonder why anyone felt the need to go do it again. Still--I'll probably see it...

[Paladin]

2. My sentiments exactly.

The ending is widely known, and I can't imagine this new release being an improvement on the 1974 version. I'll wait for it to turn up on TV.

[Blue_Adept]

5. Everybody does?

Like the younger set that has never even heard of it? I'm taking my 15 and 18 year olds to see it as they never heard of it before.

Frankly, there's a lot more options in terms of entertainment today than when I grew up so that it's far easier to not know a lot of what was once "popular" a long time ago.

I'm 46 and still haven't seen the original film. And have no idea what the solution to the mystery is.

[Codeine]

11. My daughter hasn't a clue.

I'm hoping she'll enjoy an old-fashioned mystery.

[rurallib]

13. I have never seen it nor do I know the ending

Mrs. Lib is looking forward to it.
I need to fill this hole in my life.

[SonofDonald]

3. I've never seen the movie or read the story yet

A family member is an Agatha fan but I'm not ( so far ) so I may just go see it, lots of great actors in it and what looks like really good production values.

Besides after a couple decades in Alaska I have this fondness for movies with lots of snow, better to see it than be in it constantly, Alaska has nine month winters..........

[AmandaRuth]

4. i know i should know it, but i can't remember

it, it will probably come to me during the movie. i like the idea you can look for the clues while watching.

But yes, it does look like total eye candy, I feel like being surrounded with gorgeous atmosphere for a couple of hours.

I've been to Alaska twice (Juneau and Anchorage), it is incredibly beautiful, really a bucket list for every american

[SonofDonald]

6. Yeah Alaska is amazing, the most beautiful place on earth

I spent a month in Juneau in 1989, been to anchorage numerous times, twelve years in Dutch Harbor seven of which were spent in crab boats in the Bering.

Adak, Atka, Nikolski, Akutan, Cold Bay, King Salmon, Naknek, Dillingham, Bethel, Nome, The Pribilof Islands, St Matthews Island, Togiak, Twin Hills, Manakotak, Eagle River, Palmer, Kenai, Haines, Yakutak.

Probably a few others I've forgotten.

Seventeen years in "The Bush" in the most beautiful place in earth, I miss it, I still dream about it, I just can't live there anymore because I destroyed my body living the life I did, the cold kills me these days.

But I will go back someday.

[dixiegrrrrl]

7. I think the mustache did it...

it really is different era face-fur than we are used to with Poirot.

But still, after so many years, I too have forgotten details of the plot, and it would be fun to see again. Going to put it on Netflix.

[AmandaRuth]

8. Also. True Grit

Both movies were basically the same, but different And both very good.

[edbermac]

9. Saw the one with Albert Finney.

Unless they changed the denouement I won't see this. Takes the fun out of a who-done-it when you already know who did it.

[Laffy Kat]

10. Me! I saw the original but don't remember "who done it." nt

[shenmue]

12. Going tomorrow!

[Phentex]

14. My husband wants to see it

I could take it or leave it but I like dinner and a movie.

[MerryBlooms]

15. Going this weekend. :o)

[WinkyDink]

16. "look for the clues"? I read the book in 1964! I'm pretty sure the solution is well-known! Or maybe

not??

Isn't this the THIRD movie version?!

[Iggo]

17. I almost died of boredom during the one from the 70s.

I'm not gonna let 'em finish the job.

[PennyK]

18. Thought about going

...but the reviews are not very good.
My husband and I just watched the entire David Suchet "Poirot' series, and I can't even look at Kenneth Branagh's psycho moustache. Suchet did an incredible job...I had seen the Albert Finney movie first, but even he seems crude and gruff compared with the Poirot of the series.
