To Celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial Movie

I made an E.T Ship for my mother on Christmas day to go along with her BABW E.T plushie and her reaction was hilarious! I’m really glad that she loved it and all the work was worth it in the end.

Plus it pays a tribute to our favorite movie on it’s 40th anniversary!

Anyways Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Janelle Monáe Stuns by Transforming Into Movie Character for Halloween

Janelle Monáe plans out Halloween costumes at least two years in advance but when the Screen Actors Guild went on strike last year, the entertainer opted to scrap her spooky blueprints. “SAG-AFTRA issued guidelines discouraging members from dressing up like film or television characters, so I stood in solidarity with my people and switched up my plan,” the 38-year-old singer, actress and all…

Well, in the end, it turns out that it was 𝗧𝗼𝗺 and the inspiration given by watching 𝑬.𝑻. 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑬𝒙𝒕𝒓𝒂-𝑻𝒆𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒍 that 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗺 and 𝗘𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗲 ended up like they did at the end of 𝑽𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒎: 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝑫𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 🤔

How about that 😅?

Well, apart from all this, the film has already grossed $406M and is No. 1 in cinemas worldwide for the third week in a row, let's go 🥳!!!

⠀⠀⠀⠀

Pues al final resulta que fue 𝗧𝗼𝗺 y la inspiración dada por ver 𝑬.𝑻. 𝑬𝒍 𝑬𝒙𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒆 que 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗺 y 𝗘𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗲 terminaran como terminaron al final de 𝑽𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒎: 𝑬𝒍 Ú𝒍𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒐 𝑩𝒂𝒊𝒍𝒆 🤔

¿Cómo te quedas 😅?

Bueno, aparte de todo esto, ¡la película ha recaudado ya 406M de dólares y es por tercera semana consecutiva la Nº1 en cines de todo el mundo, ¡¡¡vamos 🥳!!!

Hayley said she dressed as Elliot in the Thick Skull music video from E.T. for reasons. Inspired me to make a movie poster for it based on E.T.'s, as well as a whole VCR sleeve. ✨️

E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982)

It sounds like Stitch but it just doesn’t have the Stitchiness of Stitch. His mouth is too small. His nose is too small and too low down.

His ears are too furry. There’s too much teddy-bear-bunny, not enough insect-shark.

His ears should look almost-translucent, with fine fuzz, like bat ears! His nose should look stamped onto his face with gigantic nostrils, like a bulldog’s. His eyes should look bigger and blanker.

His mouth should make you think shark, like his whole head is resting on the hinge of his jaw. And the fur around his eyes should be much thinner and more peach fuzz like so that you can see the wrinkles in his flesh when he squints or makes snarly faces.

Why

Why is that so hard

he’s not cutesy and only-pretending-to-be-fierce. he’s not a kitten. He’s not made to appeal to the Minions and Toothless-but-only-Toothless-in-HTTYD-3 crowd.

There are NO BLACK LIPS. He’s not a dog. There are NO CAT-MUZZLE-UPPER-LIP-MUSCLES. He’s not a kitty. OR a bunny. Why are those two-front-teeth so so much smaller than the rest of his teeth? Why are all of the teeth so small??

Don’t you guys understand why he’s supposed to look more than just cute-but-acting-naughty?

He has to be able to look convincingly disgusting, and genuinely fearsome.

Look how whip-thin his eyes and eyebrows are. Look at how, like a snake mid-eat, you can see some of Pleakley’s head swelling Stitch’s throat. It is important that he look like a monster when he needs to because he is a monster.

If Stitch doesn’t look like the kind of small monster that can take big disgusting bites out of you, with jerky, spider-like movements and tiger-scrunched eyes then the whole emotional weight of the movie looks flimsy. We’ll forgive a cat for scratching us and giving us cat-scratch fever because it’s cute. If Stitch looks too cute, then the human brain goes, yeah, he pushed that little girl down and laughed at her pain, but look at his wittle face, he’s a babydoll, who could stay mad at him

We can easily see why Lilo puts up with him.

When the point is, we shouldn’t be able to see why Lilo puts up with him—not in and of himself. Stitch does nothing to deserve Lilo’s love, including being cute— actually, he’s gross and unsettling. He’s not even cute enough to want around as a snuggle-buddy. He’s certainly not cute enough to look unthreatening. Nobody in the movie runs up and asks to pet him. Nobody even looks like they want to. He’s not appealing in that way. The dogcatcher screams at him on sight. The tourists just stare when he walks up dressed as Elvis. Her friends immediately think he’s the ugliest thing in the world and don’t want him anywhere near them. David is sure it’s not a dog. Even the aliens in an intergalactic council find him not-appealing, on sight. They take him, as a threat, seriously, even before Jumba lists his powers.

All of that is not because Stitch really looks outrageously ugly.

⬆️ THAT is ugly. Can we all agree? That’s ugly. Whereas this:

Less ugly. Obviously I know that. But there are a couple things about Stitch that are not traditionally appealing, when the filmmakers could have made him traditionally appealing. If they wanted his nose to look muzzle-y, they could’ve. If they wanted his spine to bend at the hips like a human toddler’s they could’ve. If they wanted his mouth smaller and more cartoon-y, with kitty-cat lips, they could have done that. They chose to do the slightly more ugly thing instead. He’s still appealing. But he can look and be convincingly threatening, unattractive, and disgusting when he needs to be for the story.

The cuteness was a by-product. It was an artfully-done side. It was not the main course of what he’s supposed to look like. Again I say to you—he is not your Minions-loving Facebook Mom’s bumper sticker. He is supposed to walk the line between most-disgusting-pet-you-could-have and Gremlin-meets-E.T.

These teasers are totally catering to the people who like Stitch T-Shirts from WalMart but probably couldn’t explain the first thing about him as a character. And whatever, that’s fine. But the design affects the story, and the original story was so good.

This does not bode well.

TOI-715 b is a newly discovered super-Earth exoplanet located 137 light-years away. This intriguing exoplanet is roughly one and a half times the width of Earth, and is situated in the habitable zone of its star. Perhaps it has an immense ocean filled with colossal creatures.

Little thing I did tonight since I was feeling silly

In my little autistic brain this makes a lot of sense.

I was OBSESSED with E.T. as a kid, and since I have the mental image of Maya riding on Phoenix's bike's basket like some little lost cat, I just had to draw this
