"I picked this up at a used bookstore out of sheer desperation having never seen the actual film (though Criterion recently announced its re-release for June). I've never really understood why anyone would want to read a screenplay, thinking back to the once ubiquitous vendors in the city growing up hawking brightly colored xerox pages (these must still exist somewhere in Union Square). If the demand is that to spawn an illegal industry surely there must be something to it? Reading this did little to illuminate that desire since it reads more like a play than a film- not a coincidence since this semi-fictional conversation comes from two individuals with a history in theater. The dialogue is absolutely wonderful. But why anyone would want a 300 page script of Beetlejuice remains a mystery."
"I saw this movie several times when I was younger and decided to read the screenplay, which is sort of funny since the movie is just the two guys sitting across from each other talking. What's interesting is that it was written in 1981, and they were talking about how theater and culture was dead back then, and people keep talking about theater and painting and culture dying. I think this is a great conversation between two serious theater people, but it's pretty bleak and more than a little self-indulgent. Wallace Shawn's point of view is way more pragmatic than Andre's, and that's the only thing that saves it."
"GreaT movie if you don't mind watching people talk over dinner the entire time. I really enjoyed the movie and wanted to remember the dialogue better, so I read the play. The sheer number of times they said "I mean" exceeded, I am sure, legal limits and became insidiously monotonous after the first 10 pages. Otherwise, I found some interesting insights into life and our society towards the end. This was a great refresher on the movie which I believe is word for word with the play."
