Dresses in every colour The two friends and collaborators had hidden little nods to each other’s films in their work before, but for E.T., Spielberg didn’t need to hide anything at all. In one of the film’s cheekiest jokes, E.T. sees a child dressed up as Yoda for Halloween, prompting the little alien to exclaim, “Home! Home!” Spielberg didn’t tell Lucas about the joke until he held a personal screening for his friend at his Skywalker Ranch, which Lucas approved of with laughter. When he went on to make The Phantom Menace, Lucas returned the favor and made E.T.’s race of aliens part of the Galactic Senate. You can see them acting uncharacteristically hostile in the video above. 17. François Truffaut gave the film, and Spielberg, his blessing.

Spielberg’s only direction to Thomas was to do whatever it takes to stop the government agent from taking the alien away. In the heartbreaking audition (which you can watch above), Thomas broke down in tears while pleading with Fenton not to take his friend, prompting Spielberg to conclude the session with “OK kid, you got the job." 5. Peter Coyote’s bad audition for Raiders of the Lost Ark got him a part in E.T.

Black Friday 2023: All the Best Deals on Movies and More for Horror Fans!

Intensity jumps a few notches by treating The Crazies like 28 Days Later or other “Rage Virus” films. Eisner produces an infinitely scarier version of The Crazies on a purely visual level. Ogden Marsh’s “crazy” residents almost look zombified as they skewer, roast, and commit heinous acts of violence against their neighbors, fitting the 2000s need one-up what’s shown during weekday news segments. Eisner is going for the full-on horror experience, from righteous jump scares in sudsy car washes to gnarly killing blows in mechanic bays, if only to emphasize what Romero established years prior. He’s able to retain the anger in Romero’s themes while adding post-millennium angst and pulse-pounding tension, staying true to the original’s conspiratorial themes with a deeper bite. Spielberg relays that sense of awe and wonderment of what it was like to be let free on Halloween and roam the neighborhood in search of candy by framing it through E.T.’s eyes. Through the little eyeholes of his ghostly sheet, we feel and see E.T’s curiosity. We feel his trying to make sense of the costumes, whether the more ghoulish costumes have “ouchies” or whether a young Yoda is a friend like him. It’s through Halloween that Spielberg nails that childhood magic and nostalgia. What would it feel like to be a kid again on Halloween? This scene sums it up.

Ruching generally does not work for me. I’m also not a girl who loves something that's bejeweled or adorned with a lot of stuff. That doesn't do it for me. And I am like, if I don't ever wear another cold shoulder, I would be too thrilled. What She Wears on Repeat: I have fought against what society thinks as female style for my entire life. My mother would always say, 'Oh my God, if you don't put some effort in...' When I was in junior high school and high school, I used to wear boxers and long johns, and I felt fine because of it. I liked to go against the grain. I think personal style is an extension of who you are. You see my style and I think that you can understand, oh, she's easy. It's simple, clean. And for me, that mirrors who I want to be in life. But there's a lot of structure to my style too, and that is very much who I am. I like organization. I like having a schedule and structure, and so that's what's reflected in my style. All services are based on working days. Weekends, Bank Holidays and other closed days are not counted. Peter Coyote, who plays the sympathetic government agent Keys in E.T., auditioned for the role of Indiana Jones during a May 1980 casting session held by Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. Coyote, who was given snippets of the Raiders of the Lost Ark script along with a character outline of Indy, brought along a dashing fedora to accentuate his audition in hopes of wowing the two Hollywood heavyweights. But when he was told it was his turn to go, he tripped over the wiring of the lights that were set up in the room. His stumbling first impression was the furthest thing from the debonair, tough-guy Indy. The part went to Harrison Ford, but Spielberg found something endearing in Coyote's clumsiness, and when it came time to cast Keys—an adult with childlike wonderment—the choice was obvious. The lesson? Sometimes being awkward pays off! 6. The combination of a painting and photos of famous people inspired the look of E.T.

Catwalking through 9-5 in smart work dresses The most notable creative difference sees no character in the ballpark of Richard France’s scientist, Dr. Watts, who spends the majority of Romero’s film testing an antidote that could save humanity. Eisner doesn’t care about what’s happening in laboratories or makeshift command centers because what’s truly horrific isn’t found in beakers or under microscope magnification. Where Romero’s film is more about commanding bodies failing on a spectacular scale, Eisner emphasizes the avoidable consequences we the people endure. Romero wants you to see the parties responsible, whereas Eisner wants your skin to crawl when watching innocents morph into bloodthirsty lunatics. If anything, Romero gets lost in Dr. Watts’ mission and cleanup objectives while Eisner successfully hinges his film on rabid, frothing-at-the-mouth aspects the original glosses over.
