Beetlejuice (Split OT posts from: An Interesting Phenomenon (Ch. 1))

Well yeah, but that’s only because I was summoned. You know, kinda like Betelgeuse…

I said “kinda like Betelgeuse”…

Of course, I can’t give away the secret of exactly how one goes about summoning me… :wink:

Plays old school metal

I looked that up and all I saw was a dying star. What’s the reference, WBDaddy?

That aside, the fact that someone saying your name summons you to reply to it somehow makes you pretty much mimic the idea behind the phrase, “speak of the devil and he shall appear”. I’m a science-loving atheist and I still find the connection amusing as heck.

EDIT: But I fear that we’re derailing the original topic with this side discussion. Sorry to the mods if any are annoyed by this, I’ll at least try to stop for now.

Re: Beetlejuice (Split OT posts from: An Interesting Phenomenon (Ch. 1))

I think he meant BeetleJuice XD

Re: Beetlejuice (Split OT posts from: An Interesting Phenomenon (Ch. 1))

Well, he did send me a link via PM to a page about a movie of that title. And a little digging did reveal that there is an ongoing debate about the spelling of the name of the antagonist, whose name has been spelled both as the title and as the star’s name… I can see the war over name spelling starting already in my head, with WBDaddy and you being the primary battlers. Curse my vivid imagination.

Oh crap, I kept the off-topic discussion going. I can’t help it, I’m urged to respond to things like this!

Re: Beetlejuice (Split OT posts from: An Interesting Phenomenon (Ch. 1))

To the OP, I apologize, I tried to steer it back on topic. I swear I did. ;D

Re: Beetlejuice (Split OT posts from: An Interesting Phenomenon (Ch. 1))

Hey, I did too. I just have a weak will when it comes to resisting replying to people…

In all seriousness though, I think the only way for the thread to get back on topic now is for him to release another installment… or for a mod to crack down on us.

And I’m pretty sure all the off-topic replies, if combined, would equal about half the word count of the first chapter itself. So that’s pretty impressively bad.

If someone has a better title for this thread, then by all means suggest one :stuck_out_tongue:

Now, related on-topic post since this is no longer off topic from the original topic. The name thing happened because the script writers weren’t consistent in their usage, which led to some confusion for the prop guys and the marketing guys. You can actually see both spellings in the movie itself, and some of the early promo materials used the -geuse spelling. One of the days when I’m in Fort Smith I’ll try to remember to grab the poster I have in my storage unit there. It actually uses both spellings (The movie title uses the -juice version, the character name uses the -geuse spelling)

EDIT: Fixed a few typos Dragon Naturally Speaking made for me…

You should check out the movie, XenonVoid. One of my favorites ! Love that dinner party scene XD you’ll have that song stuck in your head all night.

Re: Beetlejuice (Split OT posts from: An Interesting Phenomenon (Ch. 1))

Damn it… now I have that song stuck in my head without even watching it again :stuck_out_tongue:

Re: Beetlejuice (Split OT posts from: An Interesting Phenomenon (Ch. 1))

Muhaha ;D

This one’s great too

Re: Beetlejuice (Split OT posts from: An Interesting Phenomenon (Ch. 1))

I may watch it if I get enough free time in the near future. I’m getting positive votes from literally everyone I talk to about this movie, both online and IRL, so I’ve got to admit I’m intrigued.

But wow, this marks my first intentional post in this board! I feel so adventurous for some reason…
