6:08 Yes, right that's her ring finger. Do you remember in the first movie, when Beetlejuice was trying to marry Lydia. He took a severed finger out of his pocket to get the ring ?
Just for context, Betelgeuse always had an ex wife, in the first movie the ring he has for the wedding scene is on her finger. Thought I do agree I’d wished they had focused on her and give her a bigger impact on the story more than just being in the last scene.
Since they didn't find it in the attic, I thought that it was the Maitland's handbook that somehow ended up at a yard sale. It seems so obvious that he's dead in retrospect, but it got me.
I think Astrid's story with the tree house guy could have been a full story alone, it was too short and Beetlejuice's wife could have been a whole story of its own with her as the main villain. This is like 3 full stories cut down into one so you don't get enough of each.
35:34 - "He's so dramatic." Well, Beetlejuice did say he attended Julliard. XD Also, Fun Fact: The conductor of the soul train is modeled after Don Cornelius, who was the creator and host of the TV series Soul Train. And it's implied that it's actually Don Cornelius, since the real Don Cornelius died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound (and as established in the first film, people who commit suicide become civil servants).
@@Otisboy121 There might be a silver lining, though. Since we do not see Ms. Argentina (whom we know was a suicide) still working the waiting room, it may be possible that those who commit suicide essentially "work off" their debts, or maybe the bureaucracy may be having to reassess cases one-by-one to determine if it was really a suicide or if it was an accidental self inflicted death. If you look at the newspaper Beetlejuice is seen reading in his office in the second film, there appears to have an article about some deaths incorrectly being ruled as suicides (and it must be recent discovery of the incorrect rulings due to Delia being allowed to go with Charles on the soul train at the end of the film). Since Richard's death may have been accidentally by his own doing, he may have opted to work until his case was assessed (so instead of basically being stuck haunting the area in which he drown while waiting, he may have opted to work because it allowed him the option to be able to look in on Lydia and Astrid, while he was waiting to hear judgement. Since he didn't intentionally drown himself, it's safe to say it was an accidental self-inflicted death, much like Delia, and he may be allowed to eventually pass onto the great beyond). In fact, I actually feel more sad for Beetlejuice. "Why? He's a bad guy!" I'll explain: Delores gave him a cup of poison for him to drink, meaning that he didn't willingly decide to commit suicide. That means that anyone who has died by poisoning, be it intentional murder or by accident caused by another person, got labeled as a suicide because they knowing ingested food and/or drink without knowing that it was poisoned and it is labeled a suicide by the netherworld's bureaucracy before they realized the clinical error of ruling all self-inflicted deaths as suicides. Delores basically doomed Beetlejuice to work as a civil servant (no wonder he went rogue and became a bioexorcist). Granted, he might not have been a good person in his life, or afterlife, but he didn't willing choose to kill himself.
I watched this in the theaters. When they went inside his house, I was like “he’s dead.” So many context clues. The 90s stuff in his room, his references that she didn’t understand, they didn’t show his parents faces, Lydia saw him. It was there the entire time.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH! The storylines could use some love whether they cut out some of the stuff with the Lydia’s dad or with Lydia’s lame boyfriend. Because I feel like a lot of the stories were like 1/2 of what they needed to be. I need more from Dolores the soul sucker lady, the actor cop, and the ghost boy tricking Astrid. ALSO WOULD HAVE LOVED IF WE GOT A LOT MORE IN THE UNDERWORLD WITH ASTRID AND THE GHOST BOY AND LYDIA AND BEETLEJUICE TRYING TO SAVE HER WHILE DOLORES IS ON THEIR HEELS. PERHAPS WE WILL GET THAT IN the third one if we ever get it? Maybe they rescue Delia from the underworld? Or maybe Lydia will die and Astrid has to save Lydia and Delia from the afterlife? 😊
I really liked it…it’s not a “Fury Road, Top Gun: Maverick” level home run… But it’s definitely good like say a Ghostbusters 2, Axel F, or Anchorman 2. Not as good as the originals but enough that is enjoyable for an occasional rewatch
For those confused by the ending its ripped right from the end of Carrie. Id recommend waiting to watch instead of going straight to the end if you havent seen that film.
Somebody compared this movie to the new "Ghostbusters" where a teen is tricked by a dead character. So when the boy appears and he and Astrid start chatting, I'm like, "Is he the dead guy?"
I didn't relize he was dead either which goes to show you what a good job they did. Coleen Atwood did the costumes and she is an amazing costume designer that did so many movies before but mostly peiod peices but still she is amazing. I saw this movie twice and would go again if I had the time. Love the use of the 80's music like Tragidy by the Beegees and thesong I'm leaving on a jet plane that started the movie and just all of them really haha. Grate reaction girls and glad you had a good time with this one.
Great reaction ladies....my girlfriend and I enjoyed this film when we saw it in the theater (so didn't the entire sold out audience that we saw it with) 😁👍
Great sequel. The storytelling was exceptional. Seeing Danny DeVito as the Afterlife janitor was an exciting surprise. Tim Burton and the whole cast did such a great job
Like TOP GUN: MAVERICK this sequel does justice to the original and then some as even more of a loving valentine to hits macabre madness largely due to its core cast returning and Burton back at the helm and Elfman's kinetic score. Keaton gives the gusto to his 'other iconic role' with relish and to think O'Hara's ditzy Delia would be the voice of reason after bonding with Ryder's goth queen Lydia. Newbies Theroux provides such toxic masculinity it practically reeks, Dafoe is amusing and Bellucci is sex incarnate (*sigh* - hoping she's cast as the lead in Burton's next joint, the remake of the cult-classic sci-fi/horror flick ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN - which you s/watch too ; its a hoot. I loved the Mario Bava inspired back story for 'The Juice' (you both should seek BLACK SUNDAY starring Barbara Steele about witchcraft). The 'MacArthur Park' wedding sequence is Everything :D. Fun watch ladies & perfect for SpookySeason. PS: Bob was done dirty.
DaFoe was hilarious in this, Lydia's Mom did amazing bringing the character back cause to me she feels like the same character from the first movie. Michael Keaton obviously Goated 👑 performance as Beetlejuice. Delores was underused in this movie honestly which sucked cause her scene of putting herself together was one of my favorite scenes especially with the music track, and she rocking the look throughout film but her character could have been done better. Overall had a blast watching this film in theaters.
They said her quest for immortality need both his life and soul. So she poisned him to kill himand then wanted to suck his soul so she could become immortal.
This movie just brings back so much from the first movie. Michael Keaton as the main character again, the iconic stop motion effects, even the story is original and not just a repeat of the first movie. Tim Burton got his groove back for this one.
Funny you should call beetlejuice as the main character Keaton wanted to avoid making Beetlejuice the star of the show, and instead have him be more of a part of the storyline. He also said that the character doesn't drive the story as much in the sequel as he did in the original.
As a huge fan of this franchise, I really did enjoy this movie a lot...BUT it's nowhere near the masterpiece that is the first movie! That movie is literally a game changer but hey not bad for a sequel almost 40 years later
I was actually surprised he was removed, given he appeared in "Deadwood"after the cancelling. Know it doesn't really matter, but I did actually like his character in the OG. Makes no sense to change his actor and hide his face when they show his face the whole movie though(in animation, on the grave, etc;) Seems like splitting hairs, but maybe I'm just being silly.
What’s funny is that song beetle was singing to her after the therapy session was if I’m not mistaken literally about him stalking the person he was singing to
I thought that Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was a good Beetlejuice: The Animated Series live-action sequel moreso than a sequel to the original movie. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is definitely something I'd rewatch again though.
Dudettes, My best friend is named Astrid and my name is Jeremy and we tried to date a long time ago but felt like friendship was better so imagine our reaction both of us watching the scenes with Jeremy And Astrid years after we dated while going to see this in theaters together! a few fun facts: -There is a musical bit from the 90's BETTLEJUICE cartoon sprinkled in the movies intro theme! -The tree where Jeremy has his treehouse built is modeled after the tree from Sleepy Hollow -Michael Keaton would only reprise his role if it was all practical effects and if he got more screen time than the first film -The posters in Jeremy's room are a lot of the bands and artists that Danny Elfman has worked with over the years! -Winona Ryder still has the school dress from the original film and let Jenna Ortega wear it for the premier! -You can see Barbara and Adam in the beginning of the credits during the overhead model scene in the river where they died. -The bike that Astrid rides is a similar model to the one that Lydia rode in the first one. The original bike was stolen from an auctioneers garage so the set-designers built a replica piece by piece to get it to look like the bike from the first film!
For more of Tim Burton's unique visual stylings, and a decent story besides, check out 'Edward Scissorhands', featuring, I believe, Vincent Price's last screen appearance.
I actually agree with Achara here. I didn't watch the first Beetlejuice until like a week and a half before watching the new movie early. I enjoy both movies, but I definitely prefer the new movie a bit more. The stakes definitely felt more urgent here and I easily relate to the conflict between Lydia and Astrid. Plus I have a big crush on Jenna Ortega.
42:25 In the first Beetlejuice, I thought it was made clear that if you work for the business of death, you had ended yourself, this movie kinda goes off the rails with that but I'd like to think that Astrid's dad said self see ya before like cannibals got to him? idk, I want this to work lol
I LOVED this movie SO MUCH. Honestly, I cut the storylines a lot of slack because this is obviously more of a play on the cartoon series and that was just bonkers, zany and outrageous fun. My only serious complaint I have in this movie is what they did to Lydia overall. I can see why they made her so much weaker in personality, and given her hard and difficult life it's understandable, but I would have really appreciated if they had let her shine more. She got some of her fire back at the very end with that smirk when they killed off Rory, but that was so late into the movie that it felt more like a handout. Catherine O'hara REALLY stole the show in this movie though. They really went all out with Delia and I LOVED THAT so much. She is such a fun character and I hate that they killed her off, but at the same time I absolutely respect that decision and agree that it was the right call to make. Jenna was absolutely perfect. She really just belongs in Tim Burton projects. She fits in perfectly with a lot of his design choices and styles and she was 100% the best choice to play Astrid. I do feel this movie is just a bit too short and could have used a few more moments emphasizing points of interest and connections to the original movie (like confirmation that it was Delores's finger Betelgeuse took the ring off of in the first wedding to Lydia despite the heavy insinuation). I'd have also loved to have learned more about the soul suckers. And also gotten a better look into that damn book lol I'm just a nerd like that, though. The more lore I can soak up the happier I am lol
I love this movie! I couldn't wait to go and see it that I forgot I was supposed to see it with my friends...so I saw it again!! I honestly forgot about the ex-wife until she showed up at the end. But out of everything, the soul train was amazing! Jenna played the role great I feel like she put a little bit of Wednesday in the character she played.
I'm writing that my name is Josh and i'm writing that Beetlejuice Beetlejuice will become available to stream on MAX on Friday December 6, 2024. I already predicted that Warner Bros. studios would make Beetlejuice Beetlejuice available to stream on MAX on Friday December 6, 2024 to match the Friday September 6, 2024 theatrical release. this means that Beetlejuice and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice will both be available to stream on MAX, Geena Davis makes a cameo in Lydia's dream sequence where Astrid and Vlaad get married...the music that's playing during Lydia's dream sequence is from the 1976 film Carrie during Sue's nightmare.sequence at the end of the film.. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice ended up making 451 million dollars by the end of it's theatrical release.
I love the sequel! However, what I wish they would’ve done to avoid the issue of too many storylines of so many new iconic characters, is to spread the storylines over a trilogy. The second film could’ve focused on Lydia & Astrid’s complex relationship. Astrid would fall for the ghost, Jeremy, that tricks her into trading her life for his. Therefore, Lydia reaches out to Beetlejuice for help. Jeremy was such a sinister character. I would’ve loved if they really honed in and explored that storyline more with him being the main villain. And for the third film, they could’ve focused on Delores coming back for Beetlejuice’s soul. Maybe he would trick Lydia and Astrid into helping him, since they’re human and can both see ghosts, they could be instrumental in helping defeat Delores. I LOVED her character so much, but they didn’t have her do anything really relevant that benefitted the storyline. If they saved her as the villain of the final film, they could’ve fleshed her out more. Gave her reasoning for sucking everyone’s soul she comes in contact with in her pursuit of Beetlejuice. I hope they create an amazing concept and even more iconic characters for the third film, if there is to be one, and hopefully take time to focus on one storyline and really fleshing it out. There’s many characters from the animated Beetlejuice show they could bring to life, too. I’ll be in the theatre opening night, regardless lol
Tim Burton and Helen Bonham Carter are No more..Guess who his new partner is ?..Monica Belluci .. This is probably my favourite movie of the year so far, Great that it's you two doing the reaction! Willem Defoe steals this movie for me..😉🎬
There's actually a pretty good reason for the movie feeling overstuffed with too many plotlines: the two script writers usually do only TV shows, so they're used to having way more time to setup and resolve storylines. They kinda squeezed enough material for a season of TV in one movie.
Great reaction girls and I still haven't seen the movie yet I just heard mixed reviews and mostly positive and I've seen the first movie the year it came out or the year after it came on cable TV so I've grown up with the first movie and I can't wait to see this one and Michael Keaton in a way in real life he still looks the same and yes his hair's gray now and he has the old person vive which us youngster now will have some day anyway from the reactions and seens I've seen from the movie it looks great so I can't wait to see it keep up the great work ladies
If you remember from the first movie... If you off yourself you become a civil servant... So Astrid's dad must have jumped in the river on purpose and let the piranha eat him. And I agree with people I could totally go for a third Beetlejuice. I could also go for an origin story. I want more Betelgeuse and how he got his powers, and all the chaos he's created before he met the Maitlands.
I grew up watching the original movie. I watched it every single year. It’s my childhood. I was surprisingly delighted by this movie. It’s fun and I’ll be re-watching it every year.
They didnt just make up Beetlejuice having a wife, was mentioned in the first one. I did like this movie, and agree it wasnt as grounded as the first one
Girls you are the best . Which one did you ladies like the most ? Or do think 🤔 is was a good come back to the original? For some reason I think 🤔 tim Berton play it safe for me . What y'all think 💬
I was disappointed, this movie didn’t do it for me. It felt like they told Catherine to just act like Moira. Also, the whole thing felt forced. The sequel nobody asked for but suddenly realized they had to have it. Like that shrek green dyed ketchup Burger King did back in the day.
People who say it took away her power. Think its a bigger conversation on medication and if its always needed. She needs to be able to be strange and unusual. Love this movie would have cut down the final song thats it.
You're right, but I think there's still wiggle room for it to work. Charles heard it enough times in the house that he came to love it, the family associates that song with the afterlife since it came from the Maitlands, or Delia planned the service and chose something artsy and inappropriate because she's Delia.
This one is easier to get drawn into. The first one, for as great as it's third act is, is pretty slow moving for the first half of the movie. It focused too much on the Maitlands, and not enough on Beetlejuice. There's nothing really wrong with that besides the fact that the Maitlands are the most boring straight-man characters written into a comedy ever. In a comedy, the straight-man should never draw more focus than the eccentric. This film remedied that flaw. This one was more of Beetlejuice's world and backstory finally getting explored; something audiences have been demanding for decades.
I just think its weird that they made the canceled actors a bigger character than the Maitland's who were our main characters of the first film... and Rory is just an awful character we spend too much time with. The ghost and the afterlife are whats really intriguing about the Beetlejuice world. Wish we would've gotten more of that then the Deetz's issues.
The reason the maitlands didnt appear is because the actress who played Barbara retired from acting... And Alec Baldwin im fairly certain was still wrapped up in the Rust controversy.
I love them both for the different vibes they each give. This sequel made me laugh so hard. I have one complaint… Poor Bob. He deserved better
IF HE DOE NOT RETURN FOR THE 3RD FILM, WE RIOT AT DAWN!
Um, Beetlejuice impregnates a woman against her will and all you can think about is Bob? WE WANT BASTARD BABY JUICE
Justice 4 Bob
6:08 Yes, right that's her ring finger. Do you remember in the first movie, when Beetlejuice was trying to marry Lydia. He took a severed finger out of his pocket to get the ring ?

That is probably why he wants to marry Lydia. She marries him, that means he is safe from the Ex-wife.

"Oh no! Bob's going to get sucked!" Now that's a keeper😅
The Italian actor who voiced BJ in the original version dubbed for Italian release was who you heard during Beetlejuice's origin story.

Bob is also Jokers henchman.

42:25 In the first Beetlejuice, I thought it was made clear that if you work for the business of death, you had ended yourself, this movie kinda goes off the rails with that but I'd like to think that Astrid's dad said self see ya before like cannibals got to him? idk, I want this to work lol
(At 26:22) I forgot was this Michael Bolton or Kenny Loggins?
26:10 IKR? technically he was still loose until they put him back in by saying his name 3x
Love how you’re like BURN IN THE FIERY PITS OF HELL. Love that part. The screams of Jeremy. Hehe
I LOVED this movie SO MUCH. Honestly, I cut the storylines a lot of slack because this is obviously more of a play on the cartoon series and that was just bonkers, zany and outrageous fun. My only serious complaint I have in this movie is what they did to Lydia overall. I can see why they made her so much weaker in personality, and given her hard and difficult life it's understandable, but I would have really appreciated if they had let her shine more. She got some of her fire back at the very end with that smirk when they killed off Rory, but that was so late into the movie that it felt more like a handout. Catherine O'hara REALLY stole the show in this movie though. They really went all out with Delia and I LOVED THAT so much. She is such a fun character and I hate that they killed her off, but at the same time I absolutely respect that decision and agree that it was the right call to make. Jenna was absolutely perfect. She really just belongs in Tim Burton projects. She fits in perfectly with a lot of his design choices and styles and she was 100% the best choice to play Astrid. I do feel this movie is just a bit too short and could have used a few more moments emphasizing points of interest and connections to the original movie (like confirmation that it was Delores's finger Betelgeuse took the ring off of in the first wedding to Lydia despite the heavy insinuation). I'd have also loved to have learned more about the soul suckers. And also gotten a better look into that damn book lol I'm just a nerd like that, though. The more lore I can soak up the happier I am lol
I love this movie! I couldn't wait to go and see it that I forgot I was supposed to see it with my friends...so I saw it again!! I honestly forgot about the ex-wife until she showed up at the end. But out of everything, the soul train was amazing! Jenna played the role great I feel like she put a little bit of Wednesday in the character she played.
Amazing reaction to this Beetlejuice sequel
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is the best movie of 2024..., watching it made me feel like I was in 1980
I'm writing that my name is Josh and i'm writing that Beetlejuice Beetlejuice will become available to stream on MAX on Friday December 6, 2024. I already predicted that Warner Bros. studios would make Beetlejuice Beetlejuice available to stream on MAX on Friday December 6, 2024 to match the Friday September 6, 2024 theatrical release. this means that Beetlejuice and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice will both be available to stream on MAX, Geena Davis makes a cameo in Lydia's dream sequence where Astrid and Vlaad get married...the music that's playing during Lydia's dream sequence is from the 1976 film Carrie during Sue's nightmare.sequence at the end of the film.. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice ended up making 451 million dollars by the end of it's theatrical release.
I love the sequel! However, what I wish they would’ve done to avoid the issue of too many storylines of so many new iconic characters, is to spread the storylines over a trilogy.
The second film could’ve focused on Lydia & Astrid’s complex relationship. Astrid would fall for the ghost, Jeremy, that tricks her into trading her life for his. Therefore, Lydia reaches out to Beetlejuice for help. Jeremy was such a sinister character. I would’ve loved if they really honed in and explored that storyline more with him being the main villain.
And for the third film, they could’ve focused on Delores coming back for Beetlejuice’s soul. Maybe he would trick Lydia and Astrid into helping him, since they’re human and can both see ghosts, they could be instrumental in helping defeat Delores. I LOVED her character so much, but they didn’t have her do anything really relevant that benefitted the storyline. If they saved her as the villain of the final film, they could’ve fleshed her out more. Gave her reasoning for sucking everyone’s soul she comes in contact with in her pursuit of Beetlejuice.
I hope they create an amazing concept and even more iconic characters for the third film, if there is to be one, and hopefully take time to focus on one storyline and really fleshing it out. There’s many characters from the animated Beetlejuice show they could bring to life, too. I’ll be in the theatre opening night, regardless lol
For her age Catherine looks amazing
It's not October without a Halloween movie!
Tim Burton and Helen Bonham Carter are No more..Guess who his new partner is ?..Monica Belluci .. This is probably my favourite movie of the year so far, Great that it's you two doing the reaction! Willem Defoe steals this movie for me..😉🎬
There's actually a pretty good reason for the movie feeling overstuffed with too many plotlines: the two script writers usually do only TV shows, so they're used to having way more time to setup and resolve storylines. They kinda squeezed enough material for a season of TV in one movie.
This was my most anticipated for 2024. But I knew it was never gonna be as good as the first. 4/5 for me
Great reaction girls and I still haven't seen the movie yet I just heard mixed reviews and mostly positive and I've seen the first movie the year it came out or the year after it came on cable TV so I've grown up with the first movie and I can't wait to see this one and Michael Keaton in a way in real life he still looks the same and yes his hair's gray now and he has the old person vive which us youngster now will have some day anyway from the reactions and seens I've seen from the movie it looks great so I can't wait to see it keep up the great work ladies
Saw it in the cinema myself. Loved it. However they didn’t give much about Dolores.
love the carrie music
If you remember from the first movie... If you off yourself you become a civil servant... So Astrid's dad must have jumped in the river on purpose and let the piranha eat him. And I agree with people I could totally go for a third Beetlejuice. I could also go for an origin story. I want more Betelgeuse and how he got his powers, and all the chaos he's created before he met the Maitlands.
I went to whatch in in the cinema just the other day😂😂😂
I grew up watching the original movie. I watched it every single year. It’s my childhood. I was surprisingly delighted by this movie. It’s fun and I’ll be re-watching it every year.
I wonder if it was Beetlejuice who was helping hunt the house Lidia was in for her show
They didnt just make up Beetlejuice having a wife, was mentioned in the first one. I did like this movie, and agree it wasnt as grounded as the first one
I misjudged this redhead, she is a good stepmother… in her own way.
How did y’all miss the statue? 😭 7:16
Girls you are the best . Which one did you ladies like the most ? Or do think 🤔 is was a good come back to the original? For some reason I think 🤔 tim Berton play it safe for me . What y'all think 💬
That was a call back to Casper
I was disappointed, this movie didn’t do it for me. It felt like they told Catherine to just act like Moira. Also, the whole thing felt forced. The sequel nobody asked for but suddenly realized they had to have it. Like that shrek green dyed ketchup Burger King did back in the day.
Gonna request The Iron Claw and Carlitos Way (Al Pacino) if you'd kindly consider them sometime in the near future 😊
People who say it took away her power. Think its a bigger conversation on medication and if its always needed. She needs to be able to be strange and unusual. Love this movie would have cut down the final song thats it.
As soon as monica stapled herself together - I was hoping for a nightmare before christmas spin off for her.
I almost thought Richard was Michael from The Lost Boys
When i first saw this i thought she was the black dahlia at first
Beetle juice 2 was awesome 😊
i love this channel ❤
Justice for Bob!!
That ponytail the guy has is a homage to Jack Nicholson's character in "Witches of Eastwick" please react to that movie
It was amazing
Justice for Bob!
10:02 Is it me, l or this a strange song choice? Adam Maitland liked Harry Belefonte, not Charles or any of the Deetzes.
You're right, but I think there's still wiggle room for it to work. Charles heard it enough times in the house that he came to love it, the family associates that song with the afterlife since it came from the Maitlands, or Delia planned the service and chose something artsy and inappropriate because she's Delia.
This one is easier to get drawn into. The first one, for as great as it's third act is, is pretty slow moving for the first half of the movie. It focused too much on the Maitlands, and not enough on Beetlejuice. There's nothing really wrong with that besides the fact that the Maitlands are the most boring straight-man characters written into a comedy ever. In a comedy, the straight-man should never draw more focus than the eccentric.
This film remedied that flaw. This one was more of Beetlejuice's world and backstory finally getting explored; something audiences have been demanding for decades.
another fun fact about why "The Soul Train" exists ..... Disco is "Dead" ;)
Great movie
I just think its weird that they made the canceled actors a bigger character than the Maitland's who were our main characters of the first film... and Rory is just an awful character we spend too much time with. The ghost and the afterlife are whats really intriguing about the Beetlejuice world. Wish we would've gotten more of that then the Deetz's issues.
The juice is loose! LFG!!!!😆🤘
You should watch Deliverance!!!❤
The reason the maitlands didnt appear is because the actress who played Barbara retired from acting... And Alec Baldwin im fairly certain was still wrapped up in the Rust controversy.
Not the same Baldwin. At least not to me.
@@DaveWasThereMan I don't see your point... They are the same person.
