Yes, very valid points. Reminds me of an entertaining and deft article I read years ago basically blaming what happened in the Star Wars mythology on Yoda's failures. Thanks for giving me the heads up on this. I enjoyed it.<br /><br />p.s., I agree with you that the original, untouched film is the one to screen.le0pard13https://www.blogger.com/profile/09421175808461787862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189120682398421108.post-39047967920019967912012-05-24T17:50:25.764-04:002012-05-24T17:50:25.764-04:00I like my idea better.I like my idea better.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376065182154885503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189120682398421108.post-65913237089826245512012-05-22T12:28:54.877-04:002012-05-22T12:28:54.877-04:00An E.T. sequel isn't completely far fetched I ...An E.T. sequel isn't completely far fetched I feel.<br /><br />Henry Thomas would be down I'd think after tackling the roles he's done over recent years and the very heavy roles of Hank Williams and Phillip Whalen he would cherish something calmer.<br /><br />I could see Spielberg wanting to do something calm for once after LINCOLN and ROBOCALYPSE as well. So maybe in 2014 we actually could get E.T.- Elliot Travel's. I see something a little more involved. It's been 30 years since, Elliot is a government agent working under "Keys". The communicator is still up in Elliot's attic and he gets a distress call on it, but not from ET, but ET's son. To add extra fun, Michael passed away not long after E.T. from some sudden accident or whatever, so for the last 30 years Tyler (C. Thomas Howell) took up for him to watch over Elliot. Most of the movie can just be them trying to figure out what the distress call means and what they can do about it. I mean it's a Spielberg flick, he knows how to stretch things out and leave plot holes.<br /><br />(I want to add I've never actually put any thought into this before, but my mind works that way... whatever.)Reid Harris Cooperhttp://popculturespectrum.comnoreply@blogger.com
