I'll take 13.  Oh and ET is overrated.

I saw a sneak preview of it when I was 17, with my girlfriend, and I cried like a baby. It was like a perfect movie. At least before they replaced the shotguns; as a kid they really affected me that these people were willing to shoot Elliott, and it made the bike flying over them way better. CE3K was a good movie of an interesting subject handled well, ET was a modern classic. Great cast, great story, interesting for kids and adults - not the greatest movie by the standards needed for such a thing if it exists, but definitely not overrated.

BTW Schindlers List was the best movie ever made, and I've only seen it once because I could not stand to see it again.

Steven Spielberg managed to straddle the line between anti studio Lucas desire to give more control to directors, and the studios that made him rich and famous. He is a directing genius and a management guru and he will be known as the greatest popular film director of all time. Yeah hes popular but its because he's good! Go look for Empire of the Sun as he figures out how to make grown up movies with a young kid actor named Christian Bale.

YOu know as I was writing that stuff I thought about how adults received ET - I was 17 so not really a kid or an adult; but I remember the divorce subplot and how it brought tension and humor to the movie because it seemed so real. Drew Barrymores character talking about daddy and his girlfriend for example. But as far as the main story, I think as an adult seeing how the kids are impacted by the governments arrival, and despite the adults best intentions, they fail in their attempts to help Elliott and ET - they aren't "wrong" they just didn't do the right thing. But yeah on the Blade Runner thing. And no on Trek II, I love that movie to no end, but it's just not that kind of a movie LOL. And I mean I LOVE THAT MOVIE.

    • 100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.  
    • "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
    • You two. I have four types of pain meds now. Lol
