it seems to me that if you were in a black hole and looked out towards the event horizon, you would see stars.
Yes - the event horizon is only defined globally, not locally (in other words, you need an outside-time god's eye view to determine its existence). An in-falling observer will think she is simply falling through space external to the black hole, towards an ever receeding event horizon, until arrival at the singularity.

Does this realization come before or after spaghettification?
Given the plethora of brainless comments plaguing EvC recently, I would say for some it could be either
You can easily avoid "spaghettification" simply by choosing a large enough black hole. The tidal stresses around the event horizon of a typical galactic centre SuperMassive Black Hole (SMBH) are miniscule, and you can quite happily float your way down towards the singularity for some time before any danger of being shredded.

I guess the obvious question is, "Can you happily float back out again?"
Neither happily nor otherwise, I'm afraid. It may be a more comfortable trip down the hole, but the singularity has got you firmly in its grasp...
