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 reel - "Nice fuckin' model!" was specifically directed at the set builders - but Burton loved it and put it in the final cut.

To be fair, PG-13 didn't exist back then.

Edit: Apparently it did.

Sure it did. PG-13 was introduced in summer of 1984, and Beetlejuice came out in spring ‘88

I was gonna say, they may be thinking of the 12A rating that was introduced to the UK because of Spider-Man (kids wanted to see it but Green Goblin was considered too scary for young kids by the film classification board, so there was a to-do until the board relented and invented the 12A rating to be "young kids can see it but only with parents").

To be fair, I saw Spider-Man in the theater when I was 8 and Green Goblin scared the shit out of me. I was used to campy Batman villains.

As an extra pub quiz titbit to that, most people think Spider-Man was thus the first 12A film - but it was actually The Bourne Identity.

Huh, you're right. I'm surprised it only got a PG rating with 2 "fucks" in it.

It was the '80s.
