Happy Labor Day, friends. Tonight, let’s ease into the evening the way we used to after a long weekend: feet up, the newspaper folded just so, and a few good stories that remind us how much charm is still tucked away in the corners of the past.
One More Secret in the Mansion: The Lost Clue Ending Folks Still Want to See
Back in the mid-80s, Clue felt like the kind of movie you stumbled onto on a Saturday night and ended up quoting for years. It was clever without being crude, spooky without being nasty, and it had that rare gift of being funny in a way the whole family could enjoy if the kids were old enough to catch the jokes. And at the center of it all was Tim Curry, turning every raised eyebrow and hurried footstep into pure entertainment.
Now comes word that Clue may have had a fourth ending, one featuring Curry, that never made it into the versions audiences know. Fans have been circling this idea for years, but the renewed attention tied to the documentary work around the film has folks hoping something might still be out there in a vault, on a reel, or in some dusty studio archive. It’s the kind of show-business mystery that feels fitting for a movie all about hidden passages, surprise reveals, and one last twist when you think the night is over.
There’s something sweet about the idea that forty years later, people still care enough to go looking. Not just for more content, but for a missing piece of a shared memory. In an age when entertainment is here today and forgotten tomorrow, it’s comforting to see a community of fans still treating a film like it mattered, like it was part of the furniture in the living room of America.
📺 Jack's Thoughts: I hope they find it, and I hope they release it with the kind of respect Tim Curry deserves. We don’t have to remake everything to keep it alive; sometimes we just need to preserve what was already good. The older I get, the more I appreciate caretakers of culture more than trend-chasers.

Before the LM002: The Strange, Forgotten Lamborghini That Went Looking for Dirt Roads
When you think Lamborghini, you picture low, loud, and fast enough to make your heart race just looking at it. In the old days, those cars were posters on bedroom walls, little symbols of pure aspiration. The LM002, with its big tires and bold stance, always felt like an oddball in the family photo, like somebody showed up to a black-tie dinner in cowboy boots.
But it turns out that SUV-sized Lamborghini didn’t come out of nowhere. Hagerty looks back at the Lamborghini Cheetah, a late-70s prototype that’s largely been forgotten, yet helped set the stage for what would eventually become the LM002. The Cheetah was a wild idea for a company known for pavement, not sand or mud, and it carried the kind of experimental energy you used to see when engineers were allowed to take a swing just to see what might happen.
Reading about it feels like flipping through an old car magazine from the glove compartment: sketches, test photos, specs, and a sense that the future was something you could build with bolts and bravery. It also reminds you that even the most famous brands have their “in-between” chapters, the rough drafts that don’t get framed but still matter because they led to something real.
📺 Jack's Thoughts: I’ve always liked when a company tries something outside its comfort zone, even if the first attempt is awkward. The Cheetah is a reminder that progress usually comes from tinkering, not perfection. And I’ll take a bold prototype over a committee-designed “safe” idea any day.

The Matchbox Art That Used to Live in a Pocket: Tiny Mid-Century Pictures Worth a Second Look
There was a time when even the smallest everyday objects had a little dignity. A matchbox wasn’t just a thing you tossed on the counter; it was a tiny piece of design, sometimes with a picture that looked like it belonged in an ad or a travel poster. You’d see one at a diner, in a jacket pocket, or beside the ashtray on a coffee table, and it quietly did its job without asking for attention.
Flashbak shares a collection of mid-century matchbox illustrations, many of them German, gathered from hundreds of vintage boxes. The images are striking: clean lines, confident colors, and a kind of straightforward charm that feels both practical and artistic. They’re reminders of a time when commercial art could be playful, elegant, and instantly readable, all at once.
What I love most is how these little pictures pull you back into a slower pace. They bring to mind family road trips, station wagons, motels with neon signs, and the small rituals of daily life that didn’t need an app to be memorable. It’s nostalgia, sure, but it’s also craftsmanship, and you can still feel it in the ink and the paper.
📺 Jack's Thoughts: These matchboxes are proof that beauty used to show up in ordinary places, not just in museums and luxury stores. I miss when designers seemed to assume people deserved something pleasant to look at, even for a simple item meant to be used up. It’s a good reminder that we can still choose quality and taste in the little things.
