softroe: A drawing of me scowling. (justinjuice3)
[personal profile] softroe
I have been pondering on what I'm so fond of in regards to Collette's portrayal of Beetlejuice, and I think it really comes down to a couple things...maybe a few...but I've settled on his silhouette and his general demeanor. I'm sure there's more, but I realized when I draw him I really focus on exaggerating his shape, as he is especially darling when he hunches over or contorts himself into these cartoony poses.

It helps that they've changed a few things to differentiate him from Alex's portrayal, namely his hyena mane wig. I don't care what anyone says, that is literally a hyena mane. It also seems to CHANGE partway through the show but I don't know if that's actually the case or if I'm just nuts. I'll have to see for myself once I see the show in a couple weeks. I will report back with a full review of the show since I am seeing it twice for some ungodly reason. I just couldn't help myself. Please understand. 

Aside from all of this though, he's just so much FUN to LOOK AT...I love seeing his facial expression work and just the little things he does with his face in the background, or how he holds himself when he's just in the background of a scene not saying anything.

I must once again refer to…

I will be writing a full scientific thesis on whether or not I see this at both of my shows. Please check back for my report.
