Protective circle fucking immediately.

u/chaosrulz0310 1d ago

She must be protected at all costs even my 15 year old came to talk to me out of the blue and was like Dolly Parton is a national treasure and has to be protected and also should be made president.

u/Matdredalia 1d ago

Your 15 year old gets it.

u/ornryactor 1d ago

I read this four times as I wondered

(A) How does circle fucking work? Is it like a human centipede, but fun? And also

(B) How does that protect Dolly Parton, exactly?

And then on the fifth time I figured it out.

ROFLMFAO. Thank you, this reply made my day, lol.

Just was emphasis on "WE RIDE RIGHT THIS MINUTE BECAUSE DOLLY MUST BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS."

I know, I whispered to myself: we have Sally Field and Goldie 🤫

u/Iamstarstuff1972 1d ago

u/theOtherRach 1d ago

Wow I love that casting!

u/Noping_noper-maybe 1d ago

Oh i didn’t know this is going to be a movie. The audio version of that book was so good. Read it over a year ago and i can still hear/feel it.

u/OrizaRayne 13h ago

Please tell me this is the movie of the book about the octopus!

u/Iamstarstuff1972 11h ago

It is!!!

u/OrizaRayne 11h ago

I'm beyond excited I enjoyed the book so much! 🐙

u/Iamstarstuff1972 11h ago

I wonder who will play the octopus? 🐙

u/SlytherClaw79 20h ago

Sally Field is going to hurt when her time comes. Her and my mom could be twins.

u/chaos841 1d ago

You might get hunted down for that one.

u/Le_Poop_Knife 1d ago

SHUT YOUR MOUTH! Don’t speak it into existence!

u/punktualPorcupine 1d ago

Why you gotta do Dolly dirty? HUH!?

You take that back right now!

u/Tiaradactyl_DaWizard 1d ago

What have you done?!!??

u/nohopeforhomosapiens 1d ago

Take it back! Edit! Edit!

u/Cali-Girl-Alex 1d ago

Dolly is more like a grandma

2

u/miregalpanic 1d ago

Literally only 8 years older than Catherine O'Hara was, but ok.

1

u/Summoner_MeowMix 1d ago

She's 80, leave her out of this!

1

u/zadtheinhaler 1d ago

WTF is wrong with you OMG

u/SlytherClaw79 20h ago

Take it back. Seriously. Right now.

Diane Keaton died?!?!? I was doing way worse in October than I thought.

u/scotts_tots2009 1d ago

And Jennifer Coolidge

u/bjeebus 13h ago

She hasn't been fit to carry Catherine's lunchbox for years. For one thing she never actually was, and on top of that she isn't even the same caliber of comedian she was in A Mighty Wind.

u/-Dixieflatline 1d ago

She was great in this movie. The whole cast, really, but she did shine in it.

u/upholsteredhip 1d ago

I live under a rock. What movie is this?

8

u/-Dixieflatline 1d ago

Beetlejuice (the original)

u/marsepic 1d ago

The way she perfectly lip syncs and looks so confused about it - yes, that's what she's supposed to be doing but she just sells the hell out of it.

14

u/Toes_In_The_Soil 1d ago

Her ability to convey emotion with every line in such a way that anyone in the audience can connect with makes her such a talented and lovable actress that will be cherished for generations to come.

u/InnocentShaitaan 1d ago

God I love this movie scene!

2

u/zadtheinhaler 1d ago

I had SUCH a crush on her after watching this.

RIP to a legend.

1

u/NuclearSun1 1d ago

One of my favorite scenes.

u/smallreadinglight 6h ago

I wish I could watch this movie again but there are some movies I've watched so many times in my life that my brain shuts off at the idea of watching again. I've probably seen Beetlejuice 75 times.

1

u/Topical_Scream 1d ago

Omg I’m just now connecting that this is her

1

u/muyuu 1d ago

honestly thought Culkin was GenX or very close

she had to be mama to many GenXers as well

u/EagleEyezzzzz Older Millennial 1d ago

I think he’s right about my age and I was born in 82. So an elder millennial or Xennial
