E.T. Holiday Reunion commercial.

[Hedji]

Oh awesome. Thanks for posting that!

[Werewolf]

Wonderful behind the scenes video about the new ET puppet. Yes, they really made a new full size ET puppet

You just can't get that with a CGI character.

[Hedji]

"Thank you."

This was my display for the trick or treaters this year:

That is awesome!

[Hedji]

No, I never have. I've always been content with the perfect ending that is the film, and thus reluctant to go any further. But lately, I've been thinking of that book... I should check it out.

It's everything you'd imagine a sequel would be, and saves us all from the inevitable shortcomings of a feature length sequel.

Have you read the novel sequel The book of the green planet? I read that as a kid. Really liked it.

[Hedji]

My love for E.T. knows no bounds... it's irrational, in fact. Watched the film not more than 10 days ago, and wept like a baby. I'd always hoped they'd NEVER make a sequel. That this exists should hopefully prevent one from being made now.

The fact that they got Henry Thomas back, and he steps into that role again... I'm almost speechless. Literally tearing up over a 4 minute ad.

I don't even know what the product is, but I'm happy they did this with respect and sincerity. It's everything you'd imagine a sequel would be, and saves us all from the inevitable shortcomings of a feature length sequel.

Elliot's done well, that's like a million dollar house.

[Werewolf]

Yeah, she liked the ad but then kind of soured and mentioned some muppets commercial that ticks her off.

The Muppets Facebook commercials? Those are really bad.

[palitoy]

I totally get that point.

I still do give them a lot credit. The commercial is respectful to the source material with absolutely zero hipster irony. There's no escaping companies trying to push their stuff on us. But if a company is going to try to market something to me I'd much rather they do it with kindness than crudeness.

I myself get irritated by the often vacillating hipster tone of "The Toys That Made Us" so i get it.

My wife is an 80s kid more than me, she liked it but then exclaimed: "stop mining my childhood to sell ****"!
