Yeah it was an adult. No worries. It was a very very small adult.

Yes I think he should remake Clue. It was not the greatest movie ever made but that’s why I think he should remake it. I don’t mind the multiple versions, in fact, he could play around with that self reflexivity and give it a little more depth. The movie has great on going jokes and slap stick humor but you know Wes would bring it Wes style. It’s interesting you mentioned commercialism as the movie “discusses” communism and capitalism in an on going joke.

Plus the recasting, the set design and the costumes….

Whoah. Thanks for correcting me on the child thing. That really changes things. I considered standing up and thanking Anderson for talking to a child respectfully; now I’m really glad I didn’t.

I remember your question. You really think Clue should be remade? What with the multiple versions and the game tie-in, it always seemed to me practically the embodiment of empty commercialism. Maybe I should give it another chance.

I agree; Wes could have been asked other questions, rather than rehashing Rushmore and Jason’s Schwartzman’s family. However, the person in the front row, asking about the fight WAS NOT a child. It was an adult that was physically handicapped. I sat in the front row, right across from the panel and asked the remake question, re: Clue.

But, nonetheless, the night was enjoyable. Even if he was asked questions he heard a millions times before, like what advice would you give to aspiring filmmakers, I thought he handled himself pretty humbly and gracefully.
