sgt1372<p>Guess I was busy or distracted yesterday . . .</p><p>Had to scroll back a full 24 hrs to get back up to speed here on sfba.social this morning. </p><p>Actually, I had a "date" yesterday and went to see <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/BeetleJuice2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BeetleJuice2</span></a> at the <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/GrandLakeTheater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GrandLakeTheater</span></a> in <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Oakland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Oakland</span></a>.</p><p>The Grand Lake is a great old movie theater, like the Castro. Not too many of them left these days. </p><p>Never been there before and wanted to see it. The movie was being shown on the main screen which thankfully they didn't remove. </p><p>As for the movie, I was pleasantly surprised bc I thought it was as good as the original. </p><p>They made a pretty seamless transition from BJ1 to BJ2 in terms of the characters, sets & plot but added enough new stuff to make it interesting. The "special effects" were also vastly improved over BJ1. </p><p>I highly recommend it.</p><p>It's not essential but it will help to get the nods to BJ1 if you watch BJ1 b4 watching BJ2, even if you've seen BJ1 before.</p>
