Just a heads up. WB Studio Tour giftshop (and Beetlejuice display) is closed today & tomorrow

From what I gathered, they're getting more stuff to have out. Possibly sequel stuff

BJ having less screen time is honestly a good thing heading in.

My biggest, biggest point of contention going into the sequel is how they handle the character. Beetlejuice is a truly heinous, scheming, dirty pest of an afterlife entity. Since the original film he's obviously morphed into a cultural phenomenon and pop icon. Very curious if he'll maintain that sharp edge he had in the original film or if he's dulled to the point where he's a more sanitized, friendly, de-fanged version of himself. Note that I haven't watched any trailers so if there's any indication one way or another in them I haven't been privy to them!

Don't watch the musical then, lol

I did enjoy the musical but for sure that was written where he wasn't as much a villain

Tim Burton has stated Beetlejuice has not been tainted by today's PC filters. He's the same as he was in the original

....with a hint of the cartoon hijinks

Yeah, the one thing I do trust is that Tim Burton is gonna do his own thing. That own thing isn't always good, of course, but I admire the commitment to the bit.

Oh, I'm not saying one interpretation or the other is right or wrong, I'm just interested in what we get!

And I lowkey love the musical and honestly enjoy it more than the film!

See but having a hint of cartoon hijinx could mean a pretty substantially different character.

No. Not at all. The first time Beetlejuice meets Lydia in the cartoon, he makes a reference to chainsawing her parents.

Also, you don't understand the context of the cartoon hijinx I'm referring to because you haven't watched any of the ttrailers. So you'll have to wait until you see the movie

As far as I’ve seen the character is a combination of the three iterations we’ve known. He runs a sleazy afterlife insurance company, burps and spills his guts (1989), shapeshifts more often (cartoon) and wants to help Lydia out (Musical). I’m all for that. About screen time, I remember all the character did because of his low screen time, making him very iconic and memorable as he steals the show. He’s like the Xenomorph from Alien

I'll go through the Beetlejuice Experience pics & share later.... by later, probably next week lol

Anyway, the new movie was pretty damn awesome. You'll laugh as much much as you did seeing Deadpool/Wolverine. It was hilarious. There's so much I could say, but I don't even want to spoil tag it. Just go see it!

It was worth the 30+ year wait.

I had a great time with this one. So impressed with how everyone nailed it with how these characters would be like 30 years later. Love the original so was especially happy that above all, it truly felt like Beetlejuice. Definitely go see it.

The movie is overstuffed, but in general, it's a really fun time.

Both Keaton and Burton bring it in a way they haven't in decades.

Probably because there was no chance in hell we were getting a 3rd movie lol.. At the same time, I kinda wanted more.

With the very much hinted at cartoon duo teased of Lydia & Beetlejuice, I honestly would love a bat:poop: crazy sequel in the Netherworld with its residents from the cartoon. It'd be incredibly stupid & nostalgic (the cartoon is so bad, but whatever)

I'm tempted to go see it again.

It's really nice to not hate a new Burton movie for once.

This might be his grossest movie ever? Feels a little like an old punk trying to prove he's still got it but by God, maybe Burton's still got it.

The story sucks but whatever. The Monica Belluci plot feels like an obnoxious artifact from an earlier, more boring pitch. You can feel the fanboy-sweatiness coming off of it: "what if the alluded-to wife from the first movie was the new villain?" But they kinda just forget about it, which is funny.

Her plot line is something they could have cut from the movie completely and honestly it would have made the movie better. She really didn’t add anything and was often on her own away from the main cast anyway.

I actually liked her character... a lot more than the lame "boyfriend" of Lydia.

Although I believe that if she tried the soul sucking power on Beetlejuice, it wouldn't work.
