    Still. It didn’t even get released on VHS until 1988. It’s one of the most famous movies of all time. Guaranteed many if not most millenials saw it as a kid.

      Saw it, yeah. But it never really hit with me as something I identify with. I saw tons of things made before I was born, but things that came out after I was completely conscious of storytelling resonate differently.

      ET doesn’t do anything for me in this meme. It might as well be Elmer Fudd.

        lol, funny enough I’d also identify with an Elmer Fudd reference. I grew up watching a ton of Looney Tunes in the early 90s.
