The very first movie I ever watched was E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.
(Nope, I didn’t watch it in the theatre like every other kid in my generation; sadly, my parents didn’t do the “Let’s take the kids to the movies” kind of thing. However, they did buy the VHS from Shoppers Drug Mart when it was on promotion for just $16.99. Funny how you remember stuff like that, eh?)
With E.T., I was transported to another world entirely (pun intended). Never before had I been so enthralled by a story. Aliens! Space ships! Resse’s Pieces! That cute kid Elliott! Wowzers!
Did you love the little dude as much as I did?
E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial celebrates its 30th Anniversary with its first-ever release on Blu-ray featuring an all-new, digitally remastered picture and includes the 1982 theatrical movie, an all-new interview with director Steven Spielberg, and “The E.T. Journals” featuring never-before-seen footage from the set of the film. The Blu-ray Combo Pack also includes deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes featurettes, a cast reunion and more!
We got our hands on the Blu-ray and I must say, it’s one of the most enjoyable movie experiences EVER. Not only did my husband and I take a trip down memory lane, but we were able to introduce the boys to one of the “heroes” of our generation. Look for the special edition Blu-ray, on sale now.
And, if you’re still looking for a little pumpkin carving inspiration, try out this Extra-Terrestrial Pumpkin Stencil! I am totally doing this.
Sounds like a great idea…Good luck with your pumpkin.
Love the stencil.
Oh my god. We’re older than ET.
If I had a pumpkin we would have twins.
OMG. You’re right, I can’t even take it.
Such a great stencil! We love ET :)
Okay I have to see this. I well remember the original (yes Im that old, lol!) so Im curious to see the cast reunion. And deleted scenes? cant wait!
It’s epic, Lisa, you’ll love it!
ET was such a great movie! I think I will follow your lead and rewatch it for a trip down memory lane!
Lovely! Enjoy your trip down memory lane!
Did you do this stencil?
We did – it was AWESOME. Forgot to take pictures, oops!
I loved ET too :) he’s the cutest alien EVER
Wonder if we’d think he was as cute if we encountered him in real life????
