I'm not crying.
Man it's dusty in here!
Never had any desire to watch it. Still no desire to watch it.
I remember when Henry Thomas was going to school here. He was a super nice guy.
I've tried a few time, still don't get why it's so highly thought of. But there are a few Spielberg movies I'm am out on an island on.
But to each their own, though it does seem to cheapen it a bit when it's nostalgia is used to sell products. I mean inagine a raiders ad for Home Depot, or a it's a wonderful life and for grief counseling.

ET terrified the crap out of me as a kid. I had so many nightmares about that little guy chasing me.
Never saw it until a couple of years ago. Don't see the interest.

Spot was cute, but too many recycled bits from the original movie
It's almost as if that was the point of the ad.

ET not so much, but the scene where they quarantine the house in the hazmat suits always freaked me out.swimmerbabe11 said:

They could have updated the thing so it didn't look like a rubber toy...I mean 1982 was a long time ago
And in so doing, they would draw the ire of all the TexAgs experts who can all do so much better with CGI than what we get in movies like this.West Point Aggie said:

That was awesome. Perfect way to do a reboot or reimagining or sequel or whatever. Four and a half minutes and out.
Compared to 1982, my attention span is

My 8 yr old daughter thought ET was creepy. Lol. She never gets scared by anything and this guy got her.
She's not alone. I hated it when I saw it in the theater when I was a kid and have never seen more than a few minutes of it since. Glad so many loved it but it just wasn't my bag.dreyOO said:

Always wondered if Palpatine had E.T.'s planet razed or enslaved.
I think it's the first movie I remember seeing in the theater. It scared me too, especially when they're chasing ET through the woods with the flashlights. Still an awesome movie though, in large part due to John Williams' score.
Did they have walkie talkies?

Wait wasn't that actually the original actor Henry Thomas as the dad? That is so cool.
Are they making a movie or just a Commercial? Spielberg and Lucas movies are probably top grossing overall for directors. I think Spielberg put out a lot more quantity. Not everything was quality.

AM I remembering correctly that there were some ET senators in the Senate when Palpatine was chancelorized?

It was an incredible movie in 1982. Yeah, we had Star Wars, Alien, Trek, etc etc. Those were all galaxies far far away.
But Spielberg put an endearing alien creature in the shed of a boy in Suburbantown and then gave that boy an adventure with a John William's soundtrack and Dee Wallace, Peter Coyote, and a young Child Hollywood royal with Barrymore in support.
It was all very brilliant imho.

Not to mention the best movie insult of all time, "pen*s breath".
Opening scene with them playing D&D is one of my favorites because that was me and my friends then.policywonk98 said:
