I'd like to add my voice to the dislikers of ET society. Why?
1. Because it's one of those films that people think is representative of SF
and stops them reading the good stuff.
2. It's over sentimental and manipulative. I like films to excite me, make me
laugh and make me cry. What I dislike intensely is when I feel that the
film-maker/scriptwriter is thinking 'if I do such and such, this will pull the
heartstrings of the soppy audience out there'. I felt like this all the way
through ET.
'Nuff said (as they say).
