[net.movies] ET ****Spoiler****

ralph (06/15/82)

  I saw E.T. last night, and wanted to add my approval to the film. It
is well done, if a bit emotional (as Spielburg's alien films seem to
be). You should suspend any preconcived beliefs and enjoy the film.

  One thing I would like to know: Why was ET sick? Did he live because
of something the doctors did (not my impression at all), because of the
sudden freezing, because of the proximity of his spacecraft, or none
of the above? Any theories? Does the book say? Is TI coming out with
plans for a galactic transmitter based on their Speak and Spell...
