The 40th anniversary of one of the two greatest movie years of all time* continues with the new home release of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Good reminder to #phonehome this week, too. #et #etclub #Summerof1982 #UniversalPictures #StevenSpielberg #DrewBarrymore #JohnWilliams #scifi #NowStreaming #BehindtheScenes #FilmProduction (*The other is 1939) https://borg.com/2022/11/21/e-t-the-extra-terrestrial-gets-the-full-treatment-for-40th-anniversary-home-edition/

And in case you want to hear the whole story narrated by Michael Jackson and didn't have the cassette or vinyl like I did growing up, here it is. #ETClub

Yeah, not a lot of comments during the third act. Sucks me in every time. So in exchange, I'll add Michael Jackson's song "Someone In The Dark" from the ET story book album. #ETClub

I love the movie Spontaneous for so many reasons, but this scene sealed it as an insta-favorite! #ETClub

The fact that we don't see any of the government agents' faces until they take over the house just adds to the ominous nature they hold.
Like the reverse effect Spielberg used in Close Encounters with the aliens.

Michael's Halloween costume is where the D&D community got the term Murder Hobo from. #ETClub

I've only seen one outside of this movie, at my grandparents house, but think a walk-in closet connected to multiple rooms would be handy.
Plus, it would be an amazing play spot for kids.

Proof that I don't share similar tastes with ET. I love potato salad and dislike Coors beer. #ETClub

"Damn it, can't you think of how other people feel?"

Cue the radical empathy thanks to his symbiotic nature with ET.

Gloomy day. Perfect time for a visit from my favorite Extra-terrestrial. #ETClub
