PUNCH

So I was thinking about one of my favorite movies.

GUESS WHICH ONE

that's right.

394px-BEETLEJUICE.jpg

Beetlejuice is not only one of the only good Tim Burton movies ever made, it's also one of the best movies ever made, period.

It was later turned into a cartoon, which also kicked a whole bunch of ass and had a tap dancing spider and a redneck hairmonster that said "WHAT IN TARHOOTIES" a lot.

In this thread, I hope to discuss Beetlejuice's portrayal of the afterlife and how it compares to Satre's vision of death as a meaningless bureaucracy.

Or, you know, talk about sandworms. You know I hate 'em.

    Sandworms are the worst kind of worms of all time.

    They were all, "Hey, deserts don't kill enough people already. We should hang out there."

    Fucking sandworms.

    You wouldn't believe how many supposed essential movies I haven't seen. I didn't have an interest in many of them as a kid and the family barely went to the theatre. I am only now finally starting to catch up. I only saw Pulp Fiction maybe a year ago, for example.

    Funny, the girl in the cartoon looks friendly, the one in the movie looks kind of evil. Beetlejuice is the exact opposite.

    I've seen the movie about 20 times, and watched the cartoon all the time (surprise!). That Clair girl (?) always scared me more than the monsters because of her freaky blond hair and blue eyes.

    The dinner guests getting overshadowed and doing the banana boat song is always somewhere near the front of my thoughts.

    Oh, no doubts there, it just had nothing to do with the movie except "here's beetlejuice and he's wacky and also there's a girl name lydia who is pale".

    Well, they got that her parents were a freaky art chick and a guy who was way too stressed out for his own good.

    The one where Lydia and BJ get into the fast food business against Scuzzo was awesome.

    It's just disorienting when you're a young child and you watch Beetlejuice and then the cartoon and you can't figure out for the life of you why Lydia isn't running in terror every time BJ appears.
