Thor 8,202 Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Just came back from BEETLEJUICE! BEETLEJUICE!. It was pretty good, with plenty of fun Burton-isms, but I can't escape the notion that they are "tagged on"; they don't come as naturally and organically as they did 35+ years ago, nor do they have that wonky, tactile feeling. Which is natural, because Burton is older, I am older and filmmaking has changed in general. Loved all the Elfman references to his original score, including a cool version of the main theme over the credits. But I'm not that thrilled with the "sturm und drang" that he seems to lace all his blockbuster scores with these days. When it's down-tempo, it's much better. Also some entertaining uses of pop songs and the like. Chris Bacon did some arrangements. Do we know yet if it will have a CD release?

That’s interesting to read, that the Burton-isms you mention don’t have a tactile feel. I thought that was one of things they tried explicitly to bring to this movie. Very glad to get your reassurances about Elfman’s score, though. That was sort of critical for me that he got right. I sure hope there’s a CD release of this one, although nothing appears on Amazon or elsewhere regarding a release date. No news yet even of a digital release, which is concerning.

I know, but it could be as simple as analogue vs. digital filmmaking, or perhaps the budget (the 1988 film was obviously cheaper, so they had to make some decisions that turned out wonderfully wonky).

tomsmoviemadness 3,466 Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Well, that's disappointing.... Hoping a score release is inbound, because I really liked some of the stuff I heard. This is just a song album with the main and end titles. I get why they're releasing this, but come on Watertower, how hard is it to ether put more score on there or make another album. https://www.qobuz.com/nz-en/album/beetlejuice-beetlejuice-original-motion-picture-soundtrack-various-artists/plzga489le8ic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,852 Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 I’m confident that they will eventually release a Beetlejuice 2 score album. Plenty of Elfman score releases have been released later than their songtrack counterparts, including Batman and both Spider-men. Btw, has there been any song compilation on one of his movies since Batman that has NOT had an Elfman track? Even Chicago and Notorious had them. It must be contractual for him.

ddddeeee 314 Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 The end credits cue is so much fun. Elfman plays with the theme far more than in the main titles. You can parts of his suite for the Elfman/Burton show weave in and out, too. I imagine he was requested/felt obligated to be faithful to the main titles for the original in the titles for this, but he gets to run amuck in the end credits at least.

My copy of Almost Alice has an Elfman track on it, but it looks like that was an iTunes only bonus track. There are a few others too that aren’t on your list - both 50 Shades sequels, Dark Shadows, Taking Woodstock, The Family Man. All have Elfman tracks. Madonna’s Dick Tracy companion album postdates Batman, if that one counts. It’s really A Madonna Album though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gustavo Joseph 36 Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 The movie is Tim Burton having a lot of fun. It gets crazier and crazier until it gets really funny. Michael Keaton, Catherine O'Hara, Winona Ryder are game. There are homages to Mario Bava in a flashback sequence, and a very good use of Carrie's score in a sequence that also pays homage to It's Alive. Elfman's score is good and serves the film well, an unpretencious and fun movie session. Yavar Moradi and Jay 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Dutton 7,280 Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 The odds are stacked against this being good, even if I'd like it to be. Burton has been irrelevant for decades, he bombed with that ill-conceived Dumbo movie, that seems more like a Mad TV or College Humor skit than reality, and he's been putting out crap in general outside of the Dumbo cinematic universe. A 30+ year later sequel to a cult classic that was a one-and-done perfect product for modern audiences is a bad idea. Once you involve modern audiences you end up with Ghostbusting stranger kids on a farm, a skinny tuna-eating Batboy with Nirvana music playing and all those lame-o Disney cartoon redos that just made you want to watch the cartoons and forget that they exist. It's all wrong. I think I'll skip the nostalgia bait with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Train Station 8,601 Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Only positive about this flick is Keaton's performance. He's seamless from the first one. But whenever he's absent, it all comes to a screeching halt and never moves. A movie should have some level of momentum, but this one is simply lethargic and lacks any interest in itself. The first film had plenty of talky scenes, but at least they were directed with energy and were backed up with memorable dialogue. Davis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
