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.
I 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.
Tell him to phone ET. :0)
Don'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!!!
Ignore the comments above, and do what needs to be done.
"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!!
Buy him an Atari 2600 and the game ET...That was classic....
p.s. I have one of those stuffed e.t. dolls with the light up finger and he talks too
awwww....
i love E.T. It still gets me, too. And I'm still scared of the white-suited guys.
