Has anyone seen this yet?
It makes me long for an actual full length sequel. Spielberg said he would never make another E.T, but he did agree to this, so maybe there's hope yet. Last edited by Nancy.; 17-12-2019 at 03:26 PM. |

Not sure a sequel would be a good decision though, I think some movies are best left alone

Henry Thomas was great in The Haunting of Hill House last year and I think he's returning for season 2 (Bly Manor).
Brilliant advert, but yeah, I wouldn't want an actual full length sequel. |

I wouldn't want a sequel personally, it's definitely a one off.
Truly brilliant advert though, so well made.

I didn't which is odd because he hasn't changed that much but I guess I wasn't connecting the dots until I saw him standing next to ET, I've always been more of a name person than a face though

Why So Serious?

Amazing commercial.
Yeah, I agree there shouldn't be a sequel to E.T. |

In all seriousness though... E.T. is HENCH with powers - making things fly, flipping a van through the air, resurrection/healing powers...
...and he's meant to just be an "average kid" of his species; that's the whole point (him meeting and befriending a normal Earthling kid). So... imagine what his parents abilities are. And they seem to be peaceful, maybe some sort of exploration team charting life on other planets? Alien exobiologists? The Wild Thornberrys from space? peaceful, anyway, and doing the intergalactic equivalent of travelling around in a van with their kid. SO... On their planet, WHAT ARE THE SOLDIERS LIKE?? ****ing Jedi that's what. Technologically advanced terrors with psionic powers. But it seems like they're benevolent or, at least, not hostile by default and might be quite reasonable. So bear with me here. Earth gets invaded by a hostile alien species, Independence Day style. The humans have been fighting back but the war is going badly, cities are falling. Cut to the Pentagon. A group of scientists and military chiefs are sat around. "We have to call him... it's time." they say. One picks up the phone. "Hello. Yes. We need them. You have to come in." Cut to a few hours later, in walks ELLIOTT! After E.T. he worked for the government as a specialist on alien life. He has training in military tactics and spent time with the SEALS. He's generally pretty hardcore. They walk to an elevator, and down to a secret basement level. Elliott picks up a dusty old phone attached to an array of machines. "Calling home. Calling home. We need your help." A pause... Radio static... Eventually the speakers crackle to life... "....Elliiiiooottttt?" E.T. 2: Battlegrounds |

Unlike Drew Barrymore, she just looks like someone took kid Drew Barrymore and used the stretch/skew photoshop tool on it. |
