Most dumbest thing about the E.T. movie


teen boys on their bikes are able to outrun bunch of government men where the men have guns

reply

Spielberg replaced the guns with walkie talkies in later releases.

reply

Only in one later release back in 2002. All subsequent releases are the original version....

Your teacher should have taught you about "double superlatives". But since he/she obviously didn't, here it is:

In English grammar, the double superlative is the use of both most and the suffix -est to indicate the superlative form of an adjective (for example, "my most biggest fear" and "the most unfriendliest teacher").

It's a mistake.

You must have been the teachers pet back then.

Go fuck yourself

lol at how mad you got.

"You must have been the teachers pet back then."

No. I just paid attention in class. Radical, eh?

I don't think the government was going to actually use the guns, and in these movies the kids always overpower the adults. I'm guessing you had a problem with Home Alone as well.

reply

Not sure if you are trying to be funny or not. You really think the government are going to shoot the kids off their bikes? Do you think these officials would even be morally capable of doing that?

reply

yes I think they would have shot and killed the boys for running and trying to escape with an alien that they know nothing about
