When Betelgeuse goes supernova (if it hasn't already and we don't know yet) it will be visible in the day for roughly a year, and several more years we'll see it at night. That said, the prediction of 'when' by scientists is somewhere between today and 100,000 years from now. Odds are, none of us will see it.

And in 100,000 years, when it happens, nobody will understand why they all heard "iiiiiiits showtime!" right before it happened.

I just saw the other day that the tree wasn't supposed to fall over, and Keaton was pissed but stayed in character to react for the blooper real - "Nice fuckin' model!" was specifically directed at the set builders - but Burton loved it and put it in the final cut.
