Clever title. After seeing the Broadway show it made me remember why I liked this film so much.

How was the Broadway show, was it your first?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Broadway show was fantastic. A bit different of a story but the core was still there. Some good fourth wall humor. Set design was excellent. The soundtrack gives you a feel for it but because it isn't a sing through you miss a bunch of the story especially towards the end.

It wasn't my first, but the shows I see are usually off Broadway touring. I couldn't tell the difference between the touring actors and the soundtrack vocalists.

Nice feedback!

With this title, anyone else thinking that the producers already have a third movie in mind?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That’s my thought. Although the first two movies are called Beetlejuice and Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice.

Wait. What just happened?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Michael Keaton happened.

Really hopeful with Michael Keaton, his comedy performances are usually pretty solid (Mr Mom, Night Shift, Birdman in some way)

Multiplicity is underrated

He's also good when he's on SNL. I like his creepy kids show hosts.

May I ask why "in some way" for Birdman ? I found the movie and the performances of the actors to be pretty great

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They were great, just that Birdman isn't really a comedy per se

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oh true, missed the "comedy performance" part, my bad

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

No worries!
