I sort of wonder if the creepy Gothic/suburban aesthetic that Burton perfected in the 80s and 90s is... just not really compatible with our culture right now? The trifecta of Beetlejuice, Batman, and Edward Scissorhands (1988, 1989, and 1990 respectively) was to some degree revelatory at the time, perhaps in that…

Is it wrong that I want a fourth film that is Beetlejuice vs Candyman. Complete with a surprise interrupt by Bloody Mary in the final act?

Good think Gregory Peck is dead or else people would be mistakenly sending him abuse too.

Man I’m glad I don’t have to be able to prove to the internet that I’m still friends with coworkers from 25 years ago, because those fuckers all sucked.

It’s not so much the writing as the apparent lack of desire to run the article through Grammarly first. I know the name of the game is to produce as much content as possible, and I won’t call the actual writing bad, but it takes about five minutes to check.

The cast is insane. Will be a shame if such an opportunity is wasted. Burnett will indeed wake up at some point and if anyone can liven things up, it’s her.

“Try Maxine,” comes a male voice, in the tone of a therapist.

This sadly kind of looks like a young adult CW show

I was speed reading the headlines today and thought, Anya Taylor-Joy would have been a fun casting for 007 (because the name is close).

It looks so blah. And Star Wars is so much better without Jedi and Sith.

I think you are right and the reviewer didn’t understand that that was what he was doing. 

and that’s been the case for a long time now. it’s a systemic issue that will persist until the whole network is sold off and dismembered for parts.

“Scargiver.”

“though, seeing as how they already made this new one, it’s probably too late to do anything about it”

I understand where Proyas is coming from, but if anybody is going to play gatekeeper it should be James O'Barr. He created the comic as a means of dealing with his fiance getting killed by a drunk driver, then watched the narrative of the character get permanently associated with the death of someone else instead. 

There are plenty of created works that deviate from the source material and provide good or better works.

He who controls the color palette controls the universe...

I keep mentally adding an “e” to the title and thinking it’s a movie about a creepy hospice worker.

I’m wondering to what degree we can just copy-paste all the discourse from the first movie and save ourselves a lot of time and effort.

Don’t change stuff from the source material and you’ll please 95% of the fans, sadly hollywood tends to fail on this point over and over again....
