Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

Well, middle-aged flab and pedophilia arrests did that for him.

Jenna Ortega is ugly as fuck. How much longer can Hollywood keep pushing her?

Also missing from this sequel: The main characters of the first film.

Adam and Barbara Maitland (Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis) are not listed as cast members, nor do they appear in the trailer. Their ghosts were supposed to be trapped in that house for 125 years - They were explicitly told this in the first film. But a mere 35 years later, they're gone.

It it is a different take, like Stephen Kings' IT. Scary, horror stuff.

r3, maybe they made a mistake and are waiting the in the office purgatory waiting room.

They obviously couldn't bring back Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis because they've aged 30 years. Keaton gets a pass because he's a demon.

Any chance of this being a less family-friendly venue? My Tindr hits are popping and Momma’s mussy needs as many digits as an area code!

Is it embarrassing to admit that I never watched Bettlejuice in its entirety? I think I tried a couple times but never could finish it.

R8. You're not alone.

I love the first one and don't see how Tim Burton can do it better.

You can tell what’s going to happen a million miles away. Beetlejuice will try to marry Lydia’s daughter.

Given that it’s only a teaser, maybe they don’t want to show both of them yet? Especially as they would need to be deaged.

Sean Young’s cameo in 2049 was a tightly kept secret with reviews asked to keep her deaged appearance a secret. Many of the comments express how stunned they were seeing this for the first time in the theater.

And per the comments, that single scene took a year of CGI construction. A YEAR. If deaged Maitlands show up, they are still in postproduction.

Can't wait and I will miss Jeffrey Jones'

Bladerunner 2049. Dreadful!

This video by the FX firm shows how much work had to go into create the dealing process.

They didn’t deage her, they did face replacement.

…deaging is facereplacement.

What did you think it was?

R2

Until Tim Burton drops dead

She combines two of Burton’s obsessions

Maila Nurmi (Vampira)

And the paintings of Margaret Keane

I 100% guarantee you this project was specifically greenlit for Jenna Ortega

BTW look at pictures of Vampira and look how Burton is visibly ecstatic with girlfriend Monica Belluci

I spent the entirety of food prep this evening fine tuning my previous contribution…

Momma’s mussy is like an area code. It needs 3 digits in it!

Still, not quite perfection

LOL

I just realized that Tim Burton’s two psychosexual obsessions for the basis of this series

Madonna

Jenny Ortega is his new Johnny Depp. It will end in tears and shit-caked Emmy clothing,

I never found this “Wednesday” reboot charming. She got expelled after arranging to have a bully’s genitalia eaten by piranha? Is that supposed to be new feminist humor? The little cunt should be in jail for that.

And goth-whore

Oh God I understand his casting on Annette Bening as Catwoman now (dropped out because of pregnancy)

She looks like his Madonnas

Okay that’s enough stream of consciousness for tonight

R18, they didn’t have current day Sean Young in costume and hair do the scene physically, they used the existing footage from the first film and animated it for the second film. There is a distinction.

I should amend they used the animated version over the double who was playing her physically. Hence fave replacement.

[quote]Their ghosts were supposed to be trapped in that house for 125 years - They were explicitly told this in the first film. But a mere 35 years later, they're gone.

Psssssst, it's a movie about ghosts. There are no real ghost rules.

But there were rules within this work of fiction. It formed a huge part - the essential part, in fact - of the first film. Adam and Barbara were stuck in that house with those people, and their desperation compelled them to hire Beetlejuice to help. And now this “rule” no longer exists. It robs the story of its defining conflict, and it’s lazy Hollywood bullshit. Of course, the real reason they couldn’t cast them is age - ghosts don’t age, but actors do - but they wany sequel money more than they want a good story, so they’ll plow ahead anyway.

How would Logan’s Run 2 work if they suddenly decided people could live to 200? How would Armageddon 2 work if an asteroid changed course and didn’t threaten to hit Earth? Pretty lousy stories without tension or conflict.

But you don’t know they won’t be in the movie.

Lydia after all would not live in the house if she started her own family. She would live in a different house, or moved away. Having Charles Deitz die allows her to return to Connecticut, which she certainly would have fled as soon as she had the chance, to be with other strange and unusual people, I’m assuming, in California. Her husband Justin Theroux is similarly dressed is cyberpunk black, so he is not from Connecticut.

So Charles Dietz dies and Lydia and her family return to Connecticut. They will find a way to work the Maitlands in or explain their absence.

R32, you seriously need to calm down. You haven’t seen the movie or read the script and have no clue how that plot point is being addressed.

You sound like such a scold. CHILL.

[quote] How would Logan’s Run 2 work if they suddenly decided people could live to 200?

We’d love the work! We’re available!

R35 How about Logan’s Slow Shuffle Up the Ramp?

I used to work with scream queen Barbara Steele. She had told me that Burton approached her to do a cameo in his, "Dark Shadows", and buttered her up by saying he had posters of her all over his wall when he was a kid. If that is true, you can see the template of all of his female obsessions:

Barbara as a blonde:

Winona hasn’t aged a day and Keaton never misses a beat! Can’t wait to see this! The original was written by a gay man. You can tell too. It’s so campy.

“Delia, you are a flake. You have always been a flake. If you insist on frightening people, do it with your sculpture.”

“Don’t mind her, she’s still upset that someone dropped a house on her sister.”

I'm surprised they didn't go with an all-black cast.

You’re the one being the scold, r34. 🙄

i hope we see Beatle's cock in this one

[quote]Psssssst, it's a movie about ghosts. There are no real ghost rules.

Ah it’s the good old “the story doesn’t need to have any internal logic because light sabers” argument. As delightfully moronic as ever.

Who the hell wants to see 72 year old Michael Keaton’s cock? How mentally ill are you?

"Paranormal?" Is that what they're calling your kind these days?

i have various brain diseases, R44, and I caught each one of them from your mother the slut.

Jenna Ortega ? No one else was available ?

Burton has a pattern of fixating on actors: Johnny, Winona, Christina Ricci, Eva Green, Helena Bonham-Carter, Lisa Marie, and now Jenna.

Michael Keaton hasn’t been married since 1990. He was involved with Courtney Cox after he divorced but that relationship ended in 1995.

I’m surprised he only used Krysten Ritter once, she’s very much his ideal

Speaking of which

I want to know if Emma Stone was specifically styled to look like a Burton muse

Poor Things borrowed so much from Expressionist filmmakers, Burton certainly would have been a source

The Maitlands hitched a ride on a sand worm and escaped. They are hanging out with Otho and Juno now.

Did they ever explain why trying to leave the house sent the Maitland's to another planet?

So Jenna Ortega is this generation’s Christina Ricci? The spooky girl du-jour. She better be careful, that’s a category with little longevity. Her costar Winona should be able to tell her a thing or two about that.

Jeffrey Jones killed himself off.

His whole career just came crashing down.
