“Please, please, please let some studio pick this up and really make it.

This would be the best comedy in years! I’d really rather see this than yet another lame Adam Sander shipwreck.”

Careful. They might make it with Adam Sandler.

Glad to see the little shout-outs to Cloverfield and Mars Attacks; the Grey Gardens poster on Drew’s wall was a nice touch.

Little known fact ET started out as a sequal to Close Encounters of Third Kind but then Spielberg decided to make it a separate film . By the way ET dose a cameo in Star Wars Episode 1 but he is kind of hard to see. he and others of his kind are in the seen in the senate if you have a dvd player with zoom and slow hears how to find him: In the part where Queen Amadala is giveing her speach , pause zoom and look over her left shoulder at a lower platform you will see several ETs standing there . Yoiu may have to do this several times there kind of hard to see.

I might have been upset if my notions of benevolent, Spielbergian aliens were not shattered decades ago.

LOL, Obama’s in it.

M&M’s may have passed up mondo free advertising 30 years ago, but they’re vindicated now.

It makes me wish that it really will be a real film, done as a spoof, of course. Done properly, it could be hilarious.

Oh, that was hilarious! I busted up at the Skycranes spraying Reece’s Pieces over the countryside.

Whew, I’m so relieved to read these comments and find out it isn’t true that ET’s aliens are evil.

6. Snowshoe the Canuck Says: When is it opening, Feb 30th?

Either that or April 1st. I almost wish this was for real, the production on the “trailer” was that good. But I’d have a hard time with ET’s cousins as vampire-fanged zombie-ish carnivores. Very nicely done.

The creator’s web site gives a couple of details about how it was made http://robertblankenheim.com/

Someone is really, really talented, I loved it! Where did they get the film clips from for Drew Barrymore and most of the others?
BTW, ViewMaster 3D is real, I remember it as a kid. The viewer come with a audio disc that activated when you advanced to the next picture. I still remember the skip feature “The pyramids were built by the sweat and toil, sweat and toil, of five thousand, of five thousand, slaves, slaves.”

This is an example(s) of:
1) incredible CGI
2) blatant sampling of other fillums
3) someone with cubic quantities of cash to get all these people together

But it is absofreakin’lutely hilarious…

Anyone want to take bets that this will be the ONLY example of Mr. Willis’s acting chops that are featured in a positive mode on this blog?

I liked the TV caption at 4:42 for Morgan Freeman: Defense Secretary, E.Z. Reader.

Anyone else catch the song playing on the car radio when the adult Eliot encounters E.T.? Neil Diamond’s ‘Heartlight.’

Is there a piece of Bad Astronomy there? The opening sequence shows the Milky Way as I see it this time of the year from 41S!!!

Indeed, I posted just that view in my blog yesterday! And the video about the distance from the Earth to the Moon that Phil posted about on Friday had a picture made by me! So many coincidences, something is going to happen…

I love the picture of Henry Thomas (Elliot) and Erika Eleniak (the girl he kissed in the science class scene) together. It really fits and is extra geek cool.

Is there any connection with Mar’s Attacks? A lot the scenes look like spoofs of Mar’s Attacks.

The fun part was trying to identify all the clips that were being used in this. At least three different Morgan Freeman movies (Sudden Impact, Dreamcatcher, and one other I couldn't identify), Bruce Willis' movie The Siege, etc. Fun stuff and well done!

My only complaint is that Michael Bay wasn’t the credited director. It seems like one of his movies.
