UCFKevin 0 Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 You know, before the movie came out in theaters, I hadn't seen ET in about a decade or so. When the special edition rerelease trailer came out, and ET said, "I'll....be.......right......here........." I almost started to cry. Kinda shows how damn good and how emotionally powerful it is, even though I hadn't seen it in ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker 5 Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 My copy of the three disc set showed up today. It seems very nice. Plus, the alternate live recording of the score makes this disc pretty much a must have for any Williams fan.Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyecks 33 Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Yeah, I just watched it myself as well (with the live score feature on) and I was a bawling little girl at the end. This is such a special movie for me. This is the first film I saw in the theater that I remember and it showed me the magic of films and also the magic of film music. This movie will always have a special place in my heart which is why, even though both versions are on the cheaper set, I am keeping the gift set.- Johnnyecks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 I will wait and get the 3-disc set for Christmas as it is expensive and I am in high school. But Joe, the title of this thread . . . that line is my breaking point in the film. Even thinking about it without watching the movie almost moves me to tears.Ray Barnsbury-getting veclemped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpigeon 3 Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Ray Barnsbury-getting veclemped LOL i love that phrase. i don't know if you're referring to Coffee Talk (the Mike Mysers SNL skit) or if you just happened to say that. either way, cheers to to you Ray for saying that! beerchug oh and i'm the exact same way about that line doing me in, but by that point i'm already off the emotional deep end. that only makes me moreso.Ted, getting nostaligic about the older SNL episodes that i used to love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishCal24 0 Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 I bought the two-disc set today but I haven't had a chane to watch it yet. My one complaint about this release is the very flimsy cardboard case. If you're not extremely careful when removing the stickers that hold the case closed, it'll tear it very easily. Would it have killed Universal to have packaged this in a 2-disc clamshell case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trumpeteer 302 Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 "I'll be right here" always starts the waterworks for me. But I always start getting emotional when Elliot is clearing the leaves off the communicator and the spaceship lights shine on him. That's when the magic of the music really starts. The thing is, this final scene illustrates how well visual and aural can work wonders in movies. When listening to the score on CD, I never get emotional. I just marvel at the genius of composition. But when paired with the visual, it becomes the most heart-tugging composition (and film) of my lifetime.Oh God, I'm welling up a little now just thinking of it.I'm buying the DVD as a Christmas gift for me probably in a month. Can't afford to buy it and don't have the time to watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morn 8 Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 I could say the exact same about LOTR and AI. However, mostly the emotional scenes in LOTR aren't scored that emotionally and the emotional scenes of AI are moving without the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted October 25, 2002 Author Share Posted October 25, 2002 Did you guys see the one where Myers, Madonna, and Rosanne Barr, were doing coffee talk, talking about Barbra Streisand? How she had legs like butta, and suddenly she walks in on them.Lorne Michaels had gotten her to come in unannounced, and Myers, Madonna, and Rosanne had NO IDEA she was going to do this walk on.Like the pros they are, they stayed in character and finished the set.But you could see the genuine reaction to this event. Live tv at its best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was one of my favorite SNL moments. That and Bill Murray singing "Star Wars, nothing but Star Wars!" LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
