Me (answering the phone): Hello?
Ex-Wife: [Mr M] is crying. Can you please talk to him?
Me: Sure. What's he crying about?
Ex-Wife: He's upset because E.T. went home.
Nevermind the fact that he's a few decades behind the times, I may have to go smack the kid around some to toughen him up a bit.
every damn time i watch that movie, i cry. i love that little alien.
ReplyDeleteI read something by a movie critic who admitted he's loved E.T. his whole life but then became enraged later in life when he realized that Steven Speilberg had duped him into loving a puppet with a lightbulb finger.
ReplyDeleteTell him to phone ET. :0)
ReplyDeleteDon't encourage your children to be emotionally constipated. Mr. M had a perfect reaction to the events in ET. Buy him a stuffed animal version of ET if he doesn't get over it. It worked for me. Though my tears still rival Niagra Falls every time I watch that movie...sigh...movie date, my house, Sunday night? Let me know :-) You can see my Halloween decorations!!!
ReplyDeleteIgnore the comments above, and do what needs to be done.
ReplyDelete"Band of Brothers" is the only half-decent thing Spielberg's ever been involved with. Have Mr. M watch that instead.
Though it was touching a decade ago, now it just means that you are a sissy. Toughen him up!!
ReplyDeleteBuy him an Atari 2600 and the game ET...That was classic....
ReplyDeletep.s. I have one of those stuffed e.t. dolls with the light up finger and he talks too
ReplyDeleteawwww....
ReplyDeletei love E.T. It still gets me, too. And I'm still scared of the white-suited guys.
