Speculation: A visit from some D-list celebrities?

Alaska Nebraska, Zelda (Marissa Tomei), senor ding dong
  • I was thinking this could be a Hollywood themed event. Basic premise would be a movie crew comes to Springfield to film a their latest star studded pic and we have to unlock set pieces and stop to visious paparazzi from disrupting the cast and crew.

    Please no more film studios. Ay dios mio.

    Apparently Fox has released a terrible incomplete remastering of Buffy to Netflix, which has some fans up in arms, but the idea of seeing new goofy things actually makes a rewatch more appealing to me, like there's reports of vampire battles at the cemetary taking place in the bright daylight they were originally filmed in before the screen was darkened to make it "night." Stagehands appearing in suddenly wider wide shots, etc. Good times, from the sound of it.



    Yeah, the Buffy thing is incredible, they released version without the proper filters (for lack of a simpler term) so might scenes look like they were shot in broad daylight.

    When did they do this? I've been rewatching and havn't noticed yet.
  • It could be Bleeding Gums. I'm hoping for Troy McClure.

    Let's hope they remember to release Boobarella this time. That's just one of all kinds of awful things they did for the last THOH event.
  • Part of this year's THOH is this

    Additionally, the series’ record-setting 600th episode will air on October 16 with a classic “Treehouse of Horror XXVII” episode. In it, Mr. Burns introduces a “Hunger Games”-style contest in which Springfield’s children must fight each other, and Lisa’s imaginary best friend becomes jealous of Lisa’s real best friends.

    I forget where I copied that from. It would be a waste if they didn't incorporate it into the Halloween Event.
  • Oh Troy McClure, boy how I miss Phil Hartman, but Troy deserves his place on tapped out.

    I believe they are referring to the movie rather than the show.

    No, they’re referring to the series. This according to Wikipedia:

    In August 2014, Pivot announced that, for the first time, episodes of Buffy would be broadcast in high-definition which was remastered by 20th Century Fox. The transfer was poorly received by some fans, owing to a number of technical and format changes that were viewed as detrimental to the show's presentation; various scenes were heavily cropped to fit the 16:9 format, and shots were altered to have a brighter look, often with color levels altered. Other problems included missing filters, editing errors, and poorly re-rendered CGI. Series creator Joss Whedon and other members of the original team also expressed their displeasure.

    As noted in the quote, the remastered episodes first appeared on Pivot, but I believe they have now also aired elsewhere. Not sure about that, however. I haven’t seen them myself. This recent push to remaster older television series reminds me a bit of the brief craze in the 80s in which studios were colorizing old black-and-white classics.
  • Oh snap, that's bogus. Figures Fox would cut corners and deliver a half-baked product
