'''''The Simpsons: A Complete Guide to Our Favorite Family''''' is a [[book]] published in [[1997]] by [[HarperCollins]]. It was edited by [[Ray Richmond]] and [[Antonia Coffman]]; [[Matt Groening]] receives credit as the creator of ''[[The Simpsons]]'', the [[television series]] upon which the book is based, and for an introduction to the book. |
|||
== Adavi Telugu Movie == |
|||
Although the title includes the word "Complete", the book is rather an [[Episode guide|episode-by-episode]] history of ''The Simpsons'', as the [[fictional]] story that appears on [[television]]; a non-fictional, behind-the-scenes history of the television show is almost neglected. As it is printed in 1997, only the first eight seasons that had aired by then are covered. Nevertheless, the book is notable as a "definitive guide".<ref name="snpp" /> According to Groening's foreword, the book was nearly titled ''Encyclopedia Simpsonica''. |

[[Adavi]](Dubbed version of Hindi movie [[Agyaat]]) Directed by RGV dubbed in Telugu, starring Telugu Actor [http://www.justtollywood.com/profiles.php?pid=00001159 Nitin] and [http://www.justtollywood.com/profiles.php?pid=00008114 Priyanka Kotharai(Nisha Kothari)]. Adavi produced by Ronnie Screwvala & Ram Gopal Varma is all set to release on August 7,2009. |

== |
== Story == |
||
This is about a film unit which goes for a shoot in a deep forest with bare minimal facilities run by strange and quirky man called Setu. |
|||
On pages 10-11 are short biographies of each of the five immediate members of the Simpson family, namely [[Homer Simpson|Homer]], [[Marge Simpson|Marge]], [[Bart Simpson|Bart]], [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] and [[Maggie Simpson|Maggie]]. Short biographies of other ''Simpsons'' characters are also available as sidebars to each episode's page, starting with [[Santa's Little Helper]] for "[[Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire]]" and ending with [[Willem Dafoe]]'s Commandant from "[[The Secret War of Lisa Simpson]]". Each full-length episode receives one-page coverage, or two-page coverage, featuring a synopsis, credits, pictures, and memorable quotes, as well as the episode's blackboard joke. Obscure or hidden jokes are also brought to attention. |
|||
== Director's Note(In his own words) == |
|||
The episodes are arranged in chronological order, and at the beginning of each season are two-page special features, such as a list and brief description of the [[The Tracey Ullman Show shorts|''Simpsons'' shorts]], a list of times Homer has cried "[[D'oh]]!", and a list of [[Itchy and Scratchy]]'s cartoons. |
|||
I have always been an incredible fan of the thriller genre where there is an unknown or a |
|||
known entity which is out to kill at random a group of people trapped in a certain situation |
|||
whether it is Ridley Scott’s ‘Alien’ or John Carpenter’s “The Thing”. Not to forget the “Blair Witch |
|||
Project” in which the genius of the concept has gone to the extent of not showing the |
|||
antagonist at all. I have titled my film based on this concept as ‘AGYAAT’ ‐meaning the unknown. |
|||
This movie will also be about the emotional complexities that extreme fear unleashes in people. |
|||
The story is about how a film unit on a shoot, in a far away land in a certain situation gets |
|||
trapped deep in a forest and one by one the members start getting killed. |
|||
Why I selected a film unit to be the protagonists for this story is because a film unit is literally |
|||
like a walking office in terms of its various hierarchical elements. |
|||
A star who is obsessed with himself, a leading lady who bears with him because of his stardom, |
|||
a director who thinks he will be the next Steven Spielberg, a producer who thinks that the |
|||
director is screwing up his film, an assistant director who has a crush on the heroine, a script girl |
|||
who has quite a few things for the assistant director, a frustrated action director who has a |
|||
hidden maniacal streak in him, a highly subservient spot boy with a monstrous ego, are just a |
|||
few of the assorted characters in this story. |
|||
The unknown entity which starts killing them one by one in the film is really a premise and the |
|||
real exciting part for me is the human drama of how in a given situation the whole film unit’s |
|||
hierarchical differences get erased and all of them become as human as anybody else when |
|||
faced with death.<br> |

The first printing of this volume had dozens of factual errors and omissions which have slowly been corrected in subsequent printings. Note however that all editions of the book are labelled "First Edition" even though the book has been through at least four versions. By the fourth version (23rd printing) most errors had finally been corrected.<ref name="snppb">{{cite web |author=Bruce Gomes Sr. |url=http://www.snpp.com/guides/acgtoff.html |title=''Errors in The Complete Guide'' |accessdate=2008-11-18 |format= |work=[[The Simpsons Archive]] }}</ref> |

Printed in 1997, the book only covers the seasons which had been aired by that time (the first eight). Thus, it is followed by two sequels, ''[[The Simpsons Forever!: A Complete Guide to Our Favorite Family ...Continued|The Simpsons Forever!]]'', covering seasons 9 and 10, and ''[[The Simpsons Beyond Forever!: A Complete Guide to Our Favorite Family ...Still Continued|The Simpsons Beyond Forever!]]'', covering seasons 11 and 12. These three volumes have in turn been collected and re-published as ''The Ultimate Simpsons in a Big Ol' Box.'' This was followed by a third sequel, ''[[The Simpsons One Step Beyond Forever!: A Complete Guide to Our Favorite Family ...Continued Yet Again|The Simpsons One Step Beyond Forever!]]'', covering seasons 13 and 14. |

As an in-joke, the Guide made an actual appearance in the [[2003]] episode "[[Today I Am a Clown]]", where Lisa uses it to remind Homer that Santa's Little Helper was supposedly neutered in a previous episode (specifically, [[Two Dozen and One Greyhounds]]). However, the episode proves her information false. In actuality, the book contains no reference to Santa's Little Helper being neutered. |

Story
This is about a film unit which goes for a shoot in a deep forest with bare minimal facilities run by strange and quirky man called Setu.
Director's Note(In his own words)
I have always been an incredible fan of the thriller genre where there is an unknown or a
known entity which is out to kill at random a group of people trapped in a certain situation
whether it is Ridley Scott’s ‘Alien’ or John Carpenter’s “The Thing”. Not to forget the “Blair Witch
Project” in which the genius of the concept has gone to the extent of not showing the
antagonist at all. I have titled my film based on this concept as ‘AGYAAT’ ‐meaning the unknown.
This movie will also be about the emotional complexities that extreme fear unleashes in people.
The story is about how a film unit on a shoot, in a far away land in a certain situation gets
trapped deep in a forest and one by one the members start getting killed.
Why I selected a film unit to be the protagonists for this story is because a film unit is literally
like a walking office in terms of its various hierarchical elements.
A star who is obsessed with himself, a leading lady who bears with him because of his stardom,
a director who thinks he will be the next Steven Spielberg, a producer who thinks that the
director is screwing up his film, an assistant director who has a crush on the heroine, a script girl
who has quite a few things for the assistant director, a frustrated action director who has a
hidden maniacal streak in him, a highly subservient spot boy with a monstrous ego, are just a
few of the assorted characters in this story.
The unknown entity which starts killing them one by one in the film is really a premise and the
real exciting part for me is the human drama of how in a given situation the whole film unit’s
hierarchical differences get erased and all of them become as human as anybody else when
faced with death.
