Why does /tv/ hate /et/?
He's hideous and looks like a slimy dick.
>>220764477It was one of my favourite films for a significant portion of my life. I love it.
>>220764477This movie was everywhere when I was a kid, I naturally assumed it was a classic like Star Wars or Jurassic Park. It was pretty weird to then never encounter a fan of the film or even a positive reference. Today it's universally known as Bad Spielberg. Very interesting phenomenon, maybe it just didn't age well.
>>220764638(still haven't seen it)
>>220764638>Today it's universally known as Bad Spielberg.It's one of his most popular and critically acclaimed movies, wtf are you talking about?
It's like a horror film that they tried to pass off as a kid's film
>>220764638>Today it's universally known as Bad SpielbergHorseshit.
>>220764735It works better as a horror film than 90% of the genre. Probably why it was so popular. As a kid it's good to be frightened but then they tack on a life-affirming story of friendship there too which makes it endearing and moving.
>>220764692It's one of the highest grossing films ever, but also a byword for sentimentality over substance. Supposedly an example of Spielberg's bad tendency, I haven't seen it.
>>220764735>what is fear of the unknownI hate retards so much
>>220764841The thread asked why we hated E.T. and if I had to give you a reason I dislike the movie that would be it. Otherwise I think it's an amazing movie
>>220764477He gave me nightmares
>>220764477I love this little ayy like you wouldn't believe
>>220764477>brown illegal alien >leeches off a White family>the bad guys are White authority types>made by pedophile jews

>>220765399is that from Threads? I thought it was just an ET shaped lump of foam not an actual ET doll
>>220764477Xenomorphs are sexier
>>220765474This might be the real reason, ET as a character is pointless and compares unfavorably to the xenomorph which had a much slower burn of popularity.
>>220764477The shithead little kid is essentially a terrorist. If the government needs to shut down your neighborhood to find an alien just let them.
>>220765458Yeah it is, good eye.ET was huge in the UK then and IIRC it was supposed to show how pop culture dies with the people or something.
>>220765604They were only made two years apart, that's certifiably based to burn ET at the height of his popularity when he's probably still in UK theaters.
>>220765641I bet it was a nice extra punch in the gut at the time
>>220765777I hope so
>>220764477ET is fine. Yeah it is a bit sentimental/manipulative but that's Spielberg.The funny thing is it's pretty much exactly the New Testament (stranger comes to earth, heals people, is killed, is reborn, ascends). Not sure SS even realized until he'd made it.Also a career best performance from DB.
>>220764477No one hates ET. If they say they do, they are b8ing you.
