One of the best comedies I’ve ever seen! Michael Keaton had so much fun with this role. It’s just so easy for us as the audience to be engulfed in this universe. I hope you enjoy my reaction to BEETLEJUICE 1988!
Hey guys, thank you so much for watching! Please consider subscribing to the channel. Finally hit 2,000 subs recently! Thank you so much for your continued support! What is your favorite Tim Burton film and favorite Tim Burton character?
I love the bit when Michael lifts Geena's dress up with the stick and he has a look up her dress. The way he says oh yeah and his expression. LOL makes me laugh everytime. 28 : 05 to 28 : 10
Thank you so much for the continued support! I look forward to making many more reactions for a long time! Adding these films to my list :) I think my next Tim Burton film will be Edward Scissorhands!
I'm writing that my name is Josh and i'm writing that i've been reading online that Beetlejuice Beetlejjuice might have an official date of Tuesday October 22, 2024. if that ends up becoming true then people could do first time watching videos of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice too.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the reaction :) It truly is an amazing film that hit so well on many different factors! I can't wait to see the new one!
I've seen interviews with both Michael Keaton and Tim Burton where they talk about the casting Keaton. Both said that when Michael Keaton was approached about doing this roll and read the script, he initially turned it down because he didn't get it. He didn't understand the story really and really didn't understand the character. Burton met with him in person and explained it, and his vision for it. Keaton was still sceptical, but said he would do the roll if he could come up with Beetlejuice's look. He took a few days, met with Burton again, and presented his idea of the character. Burton loved it, and the rest as they say, is history.
That's so awesome! It would be difficult to imagine anyone else in the roll. It's like Michael Keaton had to slowly become the character and begin the process with his appearance and it evolved from there. So amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Uh man I know this! (facepalm) Growing up, I always thought Tim Burton directed A Nightmare Before Christmas until I found out it was Henry Selick, but it's like my brain resets to thinking it's Tim Burton lol! Thanks for the correction!
I'm glad you enjoyed the reaction! I didn't know there was a cartoon. I'll see if I can find some episodes of it online. I can't wait to watch the new one and it's going to be hard to wait even longer so I can check it out on streaming and react to it. Thanks for watching and commenting!
The problem with going poltergeist on them with violence is the risk of them hiring an exorcist, which is a real threat in this world bc they showed you the room of lost souls that had been exorcized, i think they just wanted to scare them or at least live with them to avoid that. I would imagine an excorcist would basically be a serial killer for ghosts lol
Oh man you're right lol! I would've been screwed and stuck in that one room hoovering around like an idiot haha! I'm not sure what it says about me that my first thought is "Grab a chair and hit him across the head" lol! Thanks for watching and commenting!
@jessebatres6895 haha, yeah, poltergeist and beetlejuice were my goto ghost movies as a kid and they basically tell the same story from 2 different sides
Classic movie, I'm excited to see the sequel, I don't know how good it'll be but I'll enjoy the nostalgia. And I feel you on the spiders, I don't know if you've seen the Harry Potters (great reaction idea if you haven't, they'll explode your views), but there's a scene that reminds me of that. There was also a Beetlejuice cartoon that I loved as a kid. That might be available somewhere too, it's a fun watch. Always a pleasure Jesse! I fully intend to get through your Star Wars stuff too, give me time, haha.
I'm dying to watch the new one but I'm going to try to hang on so I can react to it lol! It's funny you mention Harry Potter because I think that's going to be the next "big" series I watch! :) And yeah man spiders are my worst nightmare 😂 Someone mentioned the cartoon in another comment and I'm going to look it up. Thank you so much for the support and kind words. It truly means so much to me that you're enjoying the reactions!
19:40 he actually threw himself in front of a truck or bus. When the receptionist makes her joke about her little “accident” it’s meant to explain that if you commit suicide, then you become a civil servant in the afterlife.
I know right! Man I was looking up more info on the actors and that was terrible to find that out about this guy. Looks like he fell off after his arrest, deservedly so.
I haven't seen his early comedy work, but I remember hearing about films like Mr. Mom. Oh and I did watch Johnny Dangerously as a kid. MAN I haven't thought about that film in years! I have to rewatch that!
The whole part where Michael is looking up Geena's dress with the stick, Michael improvised the line "oh yeah". Also in the script his character was not meant to use a stick to lift up her dress, but was supposed to blow her dress up with air to have a look. It was his idea to use a stick. A line that was in the script at the graveyard that he did not say in the film was, "She got good legs? God I love a young leg". Air then blows up Barbara's dress, exposing her legs. He leers. HAHA That's what it said in the script. They were going to use something to blow Geena's dress up, but Michael suggested that he should just pick up Geena's dress himself, as he thought it would be funnier if he lifted it with a stick to have a look. which is what he done in the scene at 28:05. And like i said the "oh yeah" was his own saying, not scripted.
From what I’ve heard, most of Beetlejuice’s lines were improvised. Even funnier is that the model tree was not supposed to fall over when he kicked it. It was also awesome that Beetlejuice's actor Michael Keaton went straight to playing Batman after this movie, under the same director.
"Are you a ghost, too?" "I'm a ghost with the most, babe." Fun Fact: Michael Keaton, playing the title character, only appears in 14.5 minutes of the film. Music Enthusiast Fact: Tim Burton feared the Day-O (1956) by Harry Belafonte sequence wouldn't go over well, since in his opinion it wasn't very funny. He turned out to be wrong, audiences loved it and think of it as one of the film's most iconic scenes. Parapsychology Foreshadowing Fact: At the dinner party, Otho (Glenn Shadix) states that people who commit suicide end up as "civil servants" in the afterlife. This is actually expanded on in the film. The civil servant ghosts that Adam (Alec Baldwin) and Barbara (Geena Davis) meet are people who appear to have ended their own lives. The receptionist (Patrice Martinez) says she committed suicide, there is a man who hanged himself, and the crushed messenger (Carmen Filpi) is implied to have done it to himself. Juno (Sylvia Sidney) looks normal, but there are scars on her neck that indicate she cut her own throat. Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton) is said to have been a civil servant and Juno's assistant; it was going to be explained in the film that he hanged himself (incompetently and very painfully), due to heartbreak. While this was cut out of the film for running time purposes, it is hinted when Beetlejuice is surprised at Lydia (Winona Ryder) wishing to die.
He had so many great lines ugh the writers were genius with his character! Ah man that dinner sequence was one of my favorite parts! I think it's perfect for the film and goes exactly with what Barbara and Adam would consider frightening for the Deetz family. The actress who played the step-mom looked like she was having the time of her life in that scene!
