Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice

Saw it this afternoon.

Pretty funny.

Do you think they paid the disgraced Jeffrey Jones for the use of his image & likeness?

Was Catherine O'Hara funny? was she in it a lot?

That's all I care about.

R1?? Did they CGI him. If they simply showed footage from the original film they didn’t have to pay him shit.

*SPOILER*

R2 they used an old photograph and showed his likeness in a clay animation. Also, a shark bit his head off so the animation was just a walking torso.

Yes, R1.

Catherine O’Hara is on screen a lot - and is very funny.

The movie sucked. It felt like a first draft and like it had 20 writers

I love the original, so was very saddened to find out how bad this new film is. Winona's bad acting is very noticeable and Jenna Ortega is no thespian herself. Catherine O'Hara was good but she can't carry a film alone. It needed the Maitlands (Geena Davis & Alec Baldwin). Michael Keaton was good too but the script was horrible. I don't know if the writers knew really what they wanted to do. Two very long musical numbers - why?

R6 agreed. The original is one of my favorite films. I was shocked this sequel got such great reviews. I didn’t care for it. I’m going to try to watch it again. Something about it just doesn’t work. Winona’s self aware style acting she has adopted since becoming older doesn’t work in this film. It’s a bit all over the place the film; I gave up half way thru.

I couldn't finish it either. I thought it was horrible - probably trying too hard.
