The first one was fun, but sequels are almost always disappointing.

Part of it is our age. In my 50's I don't laugh at the kind of humor I did in my teens. Maybe if the sequel came out a few years after the original it'd be funny.

I think it’s just that the original fire of genius isn’t there like it was at first. I don’t think that has to do with the age of the people involved, but just that things and people have moved on and changed.

I still enjoy lots of movies from my young days, but almost none of the sequels.

Maybe I’ll be surprised.

I detect a double entendre there.

“Beetlejuice 2” picks up where the original series left off

She was so cute. Why did she have to go and ruin that nose of hers?

Glenn Shadix will definitely not be in the sequel, unless they CGI him.

The first one never appealed to me. I do like a bit of his stuff, I really enjoyed “The Nightmare Before Christmas”. Other people like it, though, so it makes me wonder what it is in me that doesn’t appreciate that movie like others do.

I figure it must be me.

I loved...absolutely loved Val Kilmer in that role!

Wow, 36 years go. Before I was married, or even met my wife. Ronnie was still President. Geena Davis was still sweet and fresh.

I think a lot of this revival stuff owes a debt to

1. Stranger Things (resurrecting ET style nostalgia) with Winona Ryder.

2. Cobra Kai - despite many of the actors in it being original actors having done hardly anything of note in decades, it totally feels like a continuation of the films.

3. Ke Huy Kwan. He vanished from front of camera in the 80s, resurfaced a couple of years ago, and he’s been brilliant in pretty much everything since.

4. Ghostbusters:Afterlife went the other way to Cobra Kai... Until right at the end, when all of a sudden it went from Stranger Things to OG Ghostbusters.

I don’t think they’ll need to de-age Beetle Juice. He was aged up for the first film, and we all want to know how he managed to unshrink his head.

It seems that the longer you're dead, the more dead you look. He'll be fine.
