I studied at Juilliard

Chronology

The spirits of a deceased couple are haunted by an insufferable family who have moved into their home and hire a malevolent spirit to drive them out.. This is Michael Keaton’s favorite movie.. Otho’s shoes when he spray paints the walls in the house are changes from red fire elf-like shoes to white sneakers as he walks through the bathroom, then they change back to red elf shoes when he enters the next room.. Adam : What are your qualifications? Beetlejuice: Ah. Well… I graduated from Harvard Business School.

I travel a lot

I survived the black plague and had a pretty good time during that time. I’VE WATCHED THE EXORCIST ABOUT ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY SEVEN TIMES AND IT CONTINUES TO GET FUNNIER EACH TIME I WATCH IT… NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT YOU’RE TALKING TO A DEAD MAN… NOW WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT? Do you think I’m qualified? The Geffen Company logo is accompanied by an eerie version of the song Banana Boat (sung by the film’s composer Danny Elfman). A print of the film has surfaced with some added/alternate scenes.

Instead of a desert, he sees an empty darkness full of rolling cogs

This version of the film is about 2 minutes shorter than the theatrical release, has a few extra scenes and some others are missing, is in black and white, and has a timecode at the bottom. This version has 4 main differences: Alternate Scene: The scene where Adam tries to leave the house after he and his wife die is different. Additional Scenes: There is an added scene where Lydia shows the pictures she took of Adam and Barbra. Then, after her mother yells at her and accuses her of putting holes in her sheets, Lydia runs upstairs and tries to convince her father that the photos are real. There’s more in the scene where the adults search the attic for ghosts, where we see the desert monster trying to eat Adam and Barbra while they’re hanging from the attic window. Finally there is an extra 2 minute scene at the end where we see Lydia cycling home from school and her parents talking to Jane on the phone telling her they don’t want to sell the house. Lydia’s dancing scene is shorter in this version and there is no scene with Beetlejuice in the waiting room.

Mounted in Terror Toons (2002)

The film ends with a final exterior shot of the house. Day-OTraditional, lyrics by William A. Attaway & Irving Burge [Incorrectly listed as written by William A. Attaway & Irving Burgie (as Lord Burgess)] Performed by Harry Belafonte Courtesy of RCA Records. This is definitely Michael Keaton’s best performance. Every time he appears on screen, he gives a performance so eccentric that it rivals Jim Carrey from The Mask, only without much help from computers. If his role calls for roughness, he is disgusted; obsessive he carries the offensive; witty, he brings hilarious sarcasm.

It’s a classic

One of my few complaints is that he doesn’t get enough screen time, even though he gets a lot of it, most of it going to Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin. Tim Burton’s direction is great. My favorite scene so far doesn’t even involve Michael Keaton. Anyone who has seen this will remember it as the dinner dance scene. If you haven’t seen it, you must have grown up under a rock or were born before me.
