The old Fanatic, George Log is back with a review of the "heartwarming" alien flick, "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial". and boy howdy, do I have a bone to pick with this one! So I was sitting at the theater with my wife, watching this film (which, as I recall, we were both excited to see) and what do I hear, but the man next to me asking for his money back!
"They just killed Elliott's brother," he says. "He's in a fish tank, and I want my money back."
"He's not dead," I reply.
"Well, he sure ain't breathing, son."
"His heart is beating, though."
"That's it. I'm going up to the front and demanding a refund."
I tried to explain the difference between biological and electrical systems to the guy, but he wouldn't have it. As far as he was concerned, Elliott's brother was a dead fish. He had just seen a kid get killed.
"You'll spoil the movie," I said.
"It's already spoiled," he replied.
So the guy storms out, and my wife and I just look at each other.
"What do you think?" I ask.
"I don't know," she replies. "What if he's right?"
"He's not right."
"But what if he is?"
So now I'm the one that's all upset.
"Let's wait," I say. "Give the movie a chance."
And we waited. And we watched. But you know, the guy wasn't entirely wrong. That fish didn't seem to be moving very much, did it?
