Hey folks, Harry here... Still cranking on the DVD column - working to be all caught up by Tuesday - but had to get this out to y'all. We all remember Spielberg talking about how he felt it was a mistake to digitally touch up E.T. - and this first trailer for the Blu-Ray release this Fall addresses that with the shot of the bicycles taking off at the Government Blockade - and those utterly stupid looking digital Walkie Talkies are gone - and back are the SHOTGUNS that the Men In Black had to bag the co-dependent Alien that we all love. This is a film that was over 2 & a half times more successful domestically than AVENGERS. Hell, it made more here than TITANIC did. In fact there's only 3 films more successful in the United States than E.T. and that's THE SOUND OF MUSIC, STAR WARS and GONE WITH THE WIND. I kind of can't imagine that there are people on Planet Earth that don't know E.T., but strange mutant humans exist - hopefully this release will catch them and slap 'em with sweetness! This film singlehandedly turned my sister into a Geek for life. She saw herself as Drew Barrymore, her favorite candy became REESE'S PIECES, and yes she even became E.T. for a Halloween. If you have a soul - this film is going to own you on Blu Ray. With this and JAWS releasing this year - I'm just giddy! Here's the trailer:
And somewhere Nordling is salivating...
