E.T. is gay and here’s my evidence: 1) literally comes out of a closet dressed in drag 2) spaceship leaves rainbow trail in the sky 3) has magic powers e.g. can make u fly (only gays are that powerful)

I am only disliking this movie because E.T gave me nightmares as a kid and I am still not over it. Also please don’t try to gaslight me into thinking E.T is cute like my family has, he is terrifying and I will die on my grave bed saying that 🫡

Love, love, love this movie!!! Man the memories, I tried so hard not to cry, though my emotions got the best of me. When ET purrs like a kitten, how can you not??!! They just don’t make’m like this anymore…
CCChris CateNo words to describe the experience of seeing the 40th Anniversary Re-release of ET in IMAX. Complex, layered storytelling that only young Spielberg could do. A slow build movie that relies on emotions instead of special effects that gives us one of the best cathartic…

Metacritic
The film's real power to move flows from its low, childlike angles, which, rather than infantalize its audience, bring it down to where the hurt and fear, and hence the comfort, loom larger. [2002 re-release]
