Fun fact, Keaton has gone on record and said that Beetlejuice was his absolute favourite movie of all time that he’s worked on. I bet Tim Burton just had to start with “Hey so do you wanna do a Beet-“ and Keaton just went “YES! FINALLY!”

[@ghomerhust]

the response from EVERYONE i know when they heard about the sequel was HELL YEAH!

[@HilaryPea]

Nobody believed that Keaton could do Beetlejuice. He proved everybody wrong. Now it feels as if that role were practically made just for him! This is why typecasting sucks it robs so many great roles that they could thrive in.

I love how this movie actually pushes how important life is. Even Beetlejuice is confused and asks "why?" when Lydia wishes she were dead. This movie is delightfully dark and we explore the afterlife, but it always reinforces that life is precious and shouldn't be thrown away.

You can only truly appreciate life when you have a complete grasp on death and mortality. It's the soul that's afraid of dying that never learns to live.

@@GabePlaysYT I agree, I love the message that life is worth living, and that even death doesn't solve your problems. In the musical, there's an entire musical number, "What I Know Now", where several ghosts, led by Miss Argentina, regret their actions which led to their own deaths. Sadly, the afterlife isn't sympathetic to those who have ended their lives, having them become case workers.

Suicide isn't throwing life away. It's setting a boundary on how much suffering you're willing to endure.

[@trinaq]

I really adore the message about Found Family, and how you don't have to be blood related to consider yourselves kin. It's gently implied at the beginning, when Barbara is talking to the pushy realtor, that she and Adam are having trouble conceiving. Ultimately, the Maitlands become surrogate parents to Lydia, who are more attentive than the more self absorbed Charles and Delia. The two families compromise by sharing the house, and coexisting peacefully.

[@AmaranthOriginal]

Not to mention how subtle it is. A single line and a look...

Seems like it's something they had to learn. Had he stopped to talk to the barber, who was clearly just a lonely old man who wanted someone to talk to, they might have lived. That dog wandering around the store was clearly foreshadowing.

Legit the only character I hate in this entire film is Jane. She’s so annoying and I’m like “they don’t want to sell the house! Go away please!” Also she’s so inconsiderate when she hinted at Barbara’s infertility

[@trinaq]

Agreed, she's Barbara's cousin as well, and doesn't even wait until their funeral to sell their house to the Deetzs. Jane even has a daughter, also called Jane, who grows up to become a realtor herself, and briefly appears in the sequel.

[@Spindler2007]

Jane in my book is what I call an 80's Karen. She constantly pesters the Maitlands to sell their own house, takes photos of the house without their permission and manages to sell it shortly after they died. She even has the cheek to say to Lydia that she did all the decorating in the house.

I did notice as an adult that Delia was actually not a terrible person. After the first time they met Beetlejuice, she and Lydia’s dad were talking with genuine concern about staying there with a kid they knew was already dangerously depressed. And at the end of the climax sequence Delia is holding Lydia close as if to protect her. If she was more like Otho she might have tried to save herself but instead she was acting at least a bit like a mother. She may not have much maternal instinct in her but she clearly doesn’t wish the kid any harm.

[@planguy9575]

For all that Lydia was in her "You're not my real mom" phase with Delia I felt like they understood each other pretty well. Even liked each other a bit.

[@weasel7491]

Yeah as a kid, I saw Delia through Lydia's eyes. After watching the sequel I thought Delia was a treat and rewatched the 1st movie and loved her

[@claytonrios1]

Beetlejuice definitely started a trend of horror comedies with an over the top performance from someone who isn't the lead but who steals the show with every scene. But this is definitely a film that shows why there were so many imitators.

[@trinaq]

That's true, in Doug Walker's review of the sequel, he explicitly calls out "Little Monsters", which came out a year after "Beetlejuice", as a blatant imitator. They were smart to not have Beetlejuice dominate the screentime, as they knew that his flamboyant antics could get grating after a while.

[@preciouspixie6116]

i adore adam and barbara, but things like the tv series and musical really makes me appreciate charles and delia just as much. rewatching the ending, i really think it's adorable when charles goes "looks like lydia got that a" when he hears the music coming from downstairs; it really feels like it's less of adam & barbara taking lydia from them, and more like they're all co-parenting, which i think is great!! i never considered either delia or charles to be bad parents, just a little oblivious to their teenage daughter (which, to be fair, happens in real life), but they never seem to actually impede or stop her from doing what she wants! she dresses how she wants, and charles even indulges her (even if jokingly) by saying he'll make her a dark room in the basement, something she'd probably really enjoy. delia is a little more unhinged, of course, but she seems just more?? stressed out about everything than actually ever antagonistic towards lydia, which is fair given the whole move & remaking the house thing (moving is so stressful). plus, i mean, she adapted & accepted pretty much instantly that they had ghosts, and was willing to live with them. this was a longer comment than i meant to make, but the tdlr: when people think of the "found family" in beetlejuice, they're usually only thinking of adam, barbara, and lydia... but i think the real found family is both couples co-existing and co-parenting!

(I know its fake and just a movie, but its still fun to imagine that rule is real in a macabre way) I sometimes don't want to exist, but I ALSO dont want to work in the afterlife DMV even MORE, so here I am, alive and not working at the eternal DMV. (if you are dealing with suicidal ideation, please, it gets better the same way hair grows, so slow you don't realize its happened until you look back and see how much length you have now. It will get better with care and work and effort. Its not fair that YOU are the one that needs to put in the effort, but YOU are worth it. I believe in you.

I have since learned that the writer of The Exorcist wrote comedies before trying his hand at horror, and he actually put subtle humor in The Exorcist, so , yeah, it keeps getting funnier every time I see it.

[@Caterfree10]

Dear god, hearing that Keaton said they aren’t vastly increasing Beetlejuice’s screen time for the fans is SUCH a good thing to know. Like, I’m still worried about a years later sequel releasing now, but I’m slightly more optimistic. I need it to be good, I’ve been waiting so long but I fear driving up my expectations too much. Need to remember to keep those under control so I can enjoy what we get. Anyway, as for this film, thank you horror wedding sequence for giving me part of my basis for loving Death and the Maiden tropes, I have been obsessed ever since. 💜✨

[@Courier-Six]

What really cracks me up is that the scene where the Maitlands go to the Neither-World Waiting room shows that despite coming off as an idiot, Otho may actually be a bit smarter than he plays it off and may just be putting on an act for Dellia so she will keep him around

[@DIYLOBOTOMITE]

Never heard anyone say "died of suicide" I have only ever heard "committed suicide"

[@alb8758]

Same

[@GaryTongue-zn5di]

Suicide literally means self to kill, therefore saying died of Suicide is redundant like ATM Machine.

[@TheoRae8289]

"died by" is the current rule in journalistic coverage.

[@lycanthis9963]

Fun fact: the movie Cats Don't Dance features the BJ movie poster in the credits. And yes, you should definitely do a video for that movie.

[@mrdarber1461]

Haven't seen that movie in a while, it's free on Tubi I guess. Might go watch it thanks for reminding me of it.

[@spencergeorge4077]

8:19 I haven’t seen the sequel so I don’t know if this was retconned but originally, BJ hung himself after a brutal rejection from the woman he thought was “the one.” He’s a creep to convince himself that he didn’t need her

[@solvseus]

Me: it's cool to see these channels cover a movie I loved seeing in theaters when I was younger. Someone on one of the channels: I'm so old, I saw this movie as a little kid on TV in the 90s. Another person: I'm so old, it came out when I was born lol. Me: 👴💀☠

[@adelem432]

Here in Salem, we call this month Septober. Saw the sequel last night as Cinema Salem.

[@scribbledoodle2003]

I'm seeing Beetlejuice Beetlejuice tomorrow with my mom. So excited!

[@LarixusSnydes]

Have fun and take your time to discuss afterwards.

[@parnash]

I love that Barb wrangling the Sandworm is VERY BRIEFLY foreshadowed by the fact she punches it in the nose. She can handle her monsters.

[@FreviriousQuigby]

have you considered that the word "commit" is used because it is in fact a commitment? i mean there's really no going back afterwords.

[@orinanime]

I was going to point out that exact thing

[@Bubbly_Dragon]

It's where it comes from in context, yeah, but by far and away the most common use of 'commit' in the modern day is in regards to crime. It's just a case of language evolving over time, like the word bemused

[@paulwendleder9141]

7:47 that shift in tone almost made me fall out of my chair

[@cryingwatercolours]

coraline next? also big appreciation for the resource. idk if it’s US only or what but winona seems to love featuring in (amazing) films about suicide. that extra touch from you warmed my heart, especially when i realise it wasn’t a sponsor

[@cyclopsboi]

honestly the cartoon show still goes pretty hard and is a lot of fun

[@rachaelknudsen8801]

That moment when BJ is turned toward the Maitlands-->the scene in Buffy the series when Clem shows his face to the potentials. I knew it came from something I'd seen. And now I know.

[@AlbinoKiwi47]

i love how the smoke coming out of juno's neck hole is coming out from beneath where they've painted the wound. and the tipped forward collar to guide it out front is just clever

[@frilf7276]

11:17 Fun fact, that tree was super not supposed to fall over. When Michael Keaton knocks it over, his "NICE FKIN MODEL!" was 100% improvised. Everyone on set lost it laughing, and it was so in-character they decided to keep it in

[@phousefilms]

Just got back from 2 and had the best time! I always laugh so hard at the ending with BJ being ignored by the Hunter, stealing the number from the Witch Doctor, the Witch Doctors deadpan expression and him just casually shrinking BJ's head.

[@laotasurfs1110]

I think the desert with the sandworms is supposed to be Saturn (BJ says so when he sees yellow sand on Adam's shirt) and the people outside the widow in Juno's office (13:29) were meant to be a ghostly reflection of the audience, but it doesn't read well.

[@SeasideDetective2]

Suicide was not seen as a crime, but a sin, and sins are "committed." It was thought that suicidals really were punished in the afterlife, although no one ever believed they became civil servants. (In Dante's "Divine Comedy," they are stripped of their human bodies and literally become trees.)

[@mckinnon42]

13:17 funny but almost completely irrelevant aside, in Latin cornu means horn (hence why a cornucopia is a horn of plenty).

[@michaelgonzales609]

My headcanon is Jane had them killed so she could sell their house. Because that's the kind of vibe she gives off.

[@DaZebraffe]

No, an item going INTO a window, doesn't count as defenestration. Especially if it was swung through by a crane, instead of being thrown through by something/someone.

[@jaffe]

Otho actually says that people who kill themselves end up as civil servants in the afterlife. So the movie is just proving that what he said is true.

[@GaryTongue-zn5di]

Wrong, dumbass. He said that's just what they say about them. Learn the difference, dumbass.

[@planguy9575]

It might be a sign that his professed expertise in the supernatural is more then just bluster.

[@jamesmoyner7499]

My favorite detail about this film is because of featuring the music of Harry Belafonte it gave a boost to his career.

[@ADarkHart]

I still play Shake Senora with an almost alarming frequency...

[@nathanforester5993]

Speaking of Glenn Shadix in a Tim Burton-or Burton co-production....he's the mayor in Nightmare Before Christmas.

[@DementisXYZ]

4:37 I forget; how old is Jude now? Kid's already making his own astute film observations? That's....not ok. That little guy should still be 3.

[@strawhatsmanager]

LITERALLY time is truly a scam

[@cazia9]

Right when they move in Delia says ‘a little gasoline … blowtorch…no problem’ (Moira Rose decorating tips - ding!)

[@shawnlopez2317]

3:35 yep me too! I I was about 11 and had a absolute crush on Lydia. ❤

[@hiimcrazyfordrwho]

I saw the musical first and was shocked at how little Beetlejuice is on screen in the movie. He's on stage for almost the whole musical and is essentially the narrator for the audience. It works well since so few characters could see his shenanigans.

[@KhisanthMagus]

So Lee was asking what the desert planet with the sandworms was. It is Saturn. "You've been to Saturn? I've been to Saturn. Sandworms? whoa."

[@ethanrapp6998]

"Never trust the living" followed by "words to live by" was such a clever comment

[@Pandasu28]

This movie scared me so much as a five year old that the only reason as to why I watched it again as a 23 year old was because my aunt took me to go and see the musical two years ago.

[@desired397]

11:53 You* say that. literally the first person I've ever heard phrase it that way. its always "committed suicide" or "took their own life". to say "died of suicide" just sounds like a clunkier way of saying "took their own life", very clinical and rough.

[@spyder5876]

Agreed. I have NO IDEA what he's talking about.

[@ninjabreadman1993r]

Episode 176 of requesting The Princess Bride! :D

[@peopleperson]

our goals will be fulfilled one day brother

[@solvseus]

Eventually, he's going to say "as you wish", and we will all squeal like teenage girls at a Taylor Swift concert.

[@DrPantsMD]

I think KZbin will take it down if Lee just posts the whole movie, even if he's talking over it

[@catharticgemini]

Ah "houses haunted by the living," a fantastic video essay from Jacob Geller, highly recommend a watch if you want other visual ideas of that? IT features the Haunting of Hill House, and kitty horrorshow's game Anatomy and Remedy's Control! Highly recommend

[@TorIverWilhelmsen]

Spoiler, but it also applies to The Others.

[@visualartsbyjr2464]

As I'm writing this will be 2 1/2 hours before watching BJ2... a nice refresher!

[@theduffster1985]

13:42 His design is iconic! I want to live in the house and I’m a interior designer

[@ForgimusPrime]

Can't wait to see you win Beetlejuice Squared

[@faeriefire78]

Beetlejuice has been one of my favorite movies since I was a kid in the 80's and still endures to this day! The one and only thing I wish was different is the volume of the music. It's just the slightest bit overpowering in most scenes, which is distracting since it's almost non-stop and just a bit too loud the entire time. Excellent and quirky score though.

[@kellycox3181]

@Cinemawins you mention Lidia’s goth phase carrying through in the closing scenes. I like the observation. Would you consider though that her skirt also matches Baldwin’s black and white flannel shirt? Perhaps it’s her macabre homage to him…so I guess we’d both be right. Love your videos. Keep up the good work!

[@HankMeyer]

People don't say "committed suicide" anymore? According to whom? Nobody I know got that memo.

[@ericgeddes3353]

The first time I saw Wynona Ryder was in Stranger Things where she played a scared mother. I just didn't understand why she's such a big deal. Then I saw 1994s Little Women and then this movie. Now I get it.

[@JL-zw3tj]

Consider giving Edward Scissorhands a watch - another Tim Burton with Winona, Johnny Depp, Diane Keaton, Vincent Price cameo

[@ceilinh6004]

This movie never gets old. I loved it as a kid. I love it now.

[@curtisashby768]

Perfect timing since the sequel came out yesterday!!! I'm going to see it with my dad tomorrow at 12:40!!!

[@creeperking8702]

Yet another week of asking for sonic 2 (even more now that the third one is coming out soon)

[@Maebi_not]

I’ve been watching since before your kid was born and the fact he’s talking now is insane

[@aaronpingiaro]

As a massive fan of Tim Burton since I was a kid, I hadn't seen this movie until last week to prepare for the new one. I've gotta say it was not what I expected. I thought it was an absolutely ridiculous and bizarre film but I loved every second of it. A classic for sure and can't wait to watch Beetlejuice Beetlejuice at the cinema tonight
