Funny that the classic movie improv moments did not include a scene from one of the alternate endings of Clue where Madeline Kahn (Mrs. White) went into her diatribe about killing Yvette…

Will, despite nostalgia, I don’t think “Clue” belongs on a list of classic movies along with films like Casablanca, The Shining, and Raiders of the Lost Ark.

The “Living In The Future” link was awesome, and the guy who scanned & posted the book has found the author. Please, Miss C., keep us up to date as to what the author think of the real 2010!
