Never thought I'd hear ET be compared to Wendy Williams 😂 that had me rolling

[@e.c.1975]

Lmfaoooo that killed me 🤣

[@gmunden1]

I wouldn't insult E.T. that way. 🙃

[@bifflilla]

Just when I think the world has broken me and I’ve lost all empathy, I watch your pure ass reaction and my eyes get going. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.

[@NemeanLion-]

Great thumbnail, great heartfelt reaction. This channel never disappoints.

[@jasonthompson3209]

EOM is the Platinum Standard of reactions. Always excellent content! Omg, Jason, I'm so sorry for your loss. Our fur-babies mean everything to us. My heart is with you, my friend.

[@cflournoy1529]

ET chasing Gertie into the closet never fails to crack me up😂😂😂

[@joshuacoldwater]

I love the stories Drew Barrymore tells about this film, Steven Spielberg made sure that ET was always active when she was on set- making him appear real to her. Steven filled a father role that she never had, and this film started that. Some people were creeped out by this film, I find it heartwarming ❤

[@andreadeamon6419]

Also filmed by the poltergeist house. Filming was being done at both places. He seen the girls at the same time and had to figure out where to put each girl.

[@3DJapan]

Steven said he would find her on set having whole conversations with the ET puppet.

[@dabe1971]

It was actually the puppeteer crew that notice she was talking to the prop during downtimes so they made sure that at least one of them was always free to animate it to some degree to maintain the connection she had. The end result was her emotional goodbye.

[@ElmStReactions]

​@dabe1971 drew said it was Spielberg

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

@@ElmStReactions Spielberg may've endorsed it, but it was the puppeteers who first noticed it and made sure E.T. was animated the whole time Drew was around.

[@SuburbanSavage]

You cannot imagine the emotional trauma that an entire theater of children endured during a screening of this movie. My 2nd older sister cried herself into a bloody nose and then threw up on herself because of the blood. I was 4 and I only remembered all of the crying. And now I will only see E.T. as Wendy Williams. Best. Reaction. Ever. Jason, I'm sorry for your loss! Losing a co-pilot sucks, but you had more good times than the sadness, and that means that he loved you too.

[@angelagraves865]

My four year old cousin went with us to see this movie. The theater was packed so we couldn't sit together, but when ET died we could hear him wailing from the other side of the theater. If this movie doesn't touch you you have a heart of stone.

[@zatoichi1]

I think between this and Star Trek II parents probably were wondering why they took their kids to the movie for a cry fest.

[@trekkiejunk]

@@zatoichi1 -- I was pretty little in 1982, and saw both of these in the theater. I cried when ET "died" and i cried when (no spoiler) you-know-what happened in Star Trek II. Actually, i still do in both cases.

[@SuburbanSavage]

@@zatoichi1 I am still more distraught from Star Trek II than E.T., to be honest! Every bag that I own (I use backpacks as purses) has a Starfleet patch on it.

[@trash-girl84]

SAVAGE! LMAO!!!!

[@drewbear1969]

Another masterpiece score from John Williams. My parents took me to see quite a few films as a kid, but what I remember most was my dad taking me to see _Star Wars_ and _E.T.,_ and the little "sniffs" I heard from him at the end of this. This film just blew everything else away that summer, and there was a major effort made to keep E.T.'s appearance a secret for as long as possible. But eventually, he was doing the "phone home" in commercials for AT&T.

[@robynmontgomery9826]

I was 14 when this came out and I still laugh at ET running and screaming with his arms up. Neil Diamind released a song after seeing the movie called "Heartlight." It did very well on the charts.

[@mikekay3313]

Saw this in a packed theater at 11 years old. The theater was so full our family couldn't even all sit together. One of the best memories of my life and the last time I remember a standing ovation from everyone at the end of the movie. What an experience....props to the orchestra and soundtrack in this film...WOW just wow.

[@catem3102]

I remember going to the cinema with my fiance to see this when it was released, and he and many other grown men lit cigarettes when it got to the emotional bits. All of a sudden, flares of red cigarette ends and lighter clicks, because none of them wanted to cry. 🙂

[@EagleEye88]

Guys did the same thing watching the end of Terminator 2

[@_BangDroid_]

Now that's real toxic masculinity

[@rocknroller77]

​@_BangDroid_ oh shut up

[@kathyastrom1315]

I was 16 years old in 1982, and this was the first film I had seen that reflected my own home life-divorced single mom, three kids, oldest a boy who has taken on the role of “man of the house,” determined to protect his mother from thoughtless comments from his younger brother.

[@CinWin516]

"If I said that to my mom, I would just now be waking up". LMAOOOOOO 🤣🤣🤣

[@shainewhite2781]

Nominated for 8 Oscars including Best Picture but won for: Best Visual Effects Best Sound Editing Best Film Editing Best Original Score. It was the highest grossing movie of 1982, $792 million dollars ($1.2 Billion dollars today) against a $10 million dollar budget. Director Richard Attenborough, whom won for Best Director and Best Picture for Gandhi, said that it was one of the best movies ever made, and calls it his favorite Spielberg movie. 11 years later, Steven Spielberg and Richard Attenborough would team up for JURASSIC PARK.

[@shellymarquez9320]

It’s Reese’s Pieces! They got super popular when this movie came out!❤

[@MegazoneMusic23]

They were nominated lots but lost to "Chariots of Fire" in 1982. They were both up against: Chariots of Fire. David Puttnam, Producer. Atlantic City. Denis Heroux and John Kemeny, Producers. On Golden Pond. Bruce Gilbert, Producer. Raiders of the Lost Ark. Frank Marshall, Producer. and Reds. Warren Beatty, Producer.

[@tersommers]

So sorry for Jason's loss of his co-pilot. Our family has lost too many co-pilots. I guess when you own so many, you must have loss. Thinking of Jason. J and Blank, you two always do such a great job in your roles! Love your co-pilots, J!

[@shotgunbettygaming]

Wait...what? What loss?

[@atraxos]

​@@shotgunbettygaming​Pet dog. During the intro, J mentioned how one of the viewers, Jason, recently lost his "copilot" of 15 years (with whom he would watch the EOM reaction videos).

[@DevInvest]

🙏🏻🙇🏻‍♂️🙏🏻

[@shotgunbettygaming]

@@atraxos Holy cow don't know how I missed that!😥So terribly sorry to Jason, my heart breaks for your loss if you're reading this. Thank you for clarifying @atraxos without being mean, I appreciate it.

[@russellward4624]

​@@atraxoshe was lucky to get that long. I've been incredibly unlucky with my co-pilot. Oldest only lasted 7 years, youngest 5. Just wasn't enough time.

[@disneymomrachel1195]

That’s Gen X baby, we fear nothing! Lol

[@RedWolf777SG]

In the part where Elliot lures E.T. with candy. Originally E.T. was supposed to eat M&M candy. But the whole thing was a massive missed opportunity for Mars Incorporated. Spielberg originally intended for that iconic moment to involve M&Ms. The only reason they never ended up in the movie was that Mars Incorporated, who own M&Ms, refused to give the filmmaker permission to use the multi-coloured chocolates. As a result, Spielberg chose Reese’s Pieces as a replacement. Hershey Foods, who own Reese’s Pieces, struck a deal to promote the movie, dedicating $1 million to advertising, all whilst Universal allowed them to feature the titular alien in their visual media. Earning close to $800 million at the box office from a budget of just $10.5 million, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial became a significant hit and, as a result, sales for Reese’s Pieces jumped 85% in the weeks following its release in June 1982. Remarkably, the film and candy are still inextricably linked, with the deal between the movie and the food company being one of the most successful examples of product placement in movie history. And personally I prefer Reese’s Pieces myself over M&Ms. They're quite tasty and one of my old time favorites. When I go to the movie theaters. Along with plain popcorn and coca-cola.😄

[@mikeshoe74]

me Reeses pieces are far better than M&Ms, except peanut butter M&M's, but they weren't around yet in the 80's. Reeses pieces became one of my go to movie theater foods too though. Problem is i eat the whole bag and have sugar mouth for days.

[@SurvivorBri]

Please stop saying fun fact. And you shared a history lesson there, not a fact lol.

[@RedWolf777SG]

​@@SurvivorBriHeh, fact stranger. I'll delete that part I do admit. It's much longer than a fun fact should be. But hey ist all in good fun. And not many know this why they choose Reese’s Pieces instead of M&Ms in the movie.😅😅😅

[@lisaspikes4291]

There’s a reference to Reese’s Pieces in the movie Paul. And I know I’ve seen it referenced in other places also.

[@PanzerShrek94]

i like MMs better..they are peanuts..Reeses are chocolate.

[@leeneufeld4140]

I am sorry to hear of Jason's loss. I lost my best buddy, my cat Wakko, when he was 20. I'll think of the two of them now, running through the tall grass in the warm sun, without a care in the world :)

[@michaelcoffey1991]

@JL one day you will know the movies that movie you emotionally are the ONLY movies worth re watching :). You continue to make me laugh, and your insight gets better and better. You are an amazing soul.......Thanks again to all the amazing patrons and EOM staff

[@CoryGasaway]

There's really no genre for this film. That's the remarkable thing about this film. It's just what I like to call pure cinema. It's why we go to the movies and love movies. It's why we love movies. Simply a masterpiece of a film. There's a reason why it is the hallmark film the 80s. When we watched it the theater the theater clapped and cheered and cried at the end like I've never seen (only Titanic and Top Gun: Maverick were similar). People just realized they saw something special.

[@evansfanily7510]

Perfectly said homie

[@gmughadam76]

In case it has been mentioned, E.T.'s species is seen in the Congressional hearing in episode 1 The phantom Menace during the vote. It is Implied in this movie when he notices the Yoda costume his people's appearance in Star wars episode 1 and his enormous telekinetic and telepathic powers, he is secretly a Jedi...

[@USCFlash]

According to Cheech & Chong, "E.T." stands for Extra-Testicle. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@saucygoat8287]

28:52 when ET says “home” to the kid wearing the Yoda mask, it technically confirms that this is canon to Star Wars 😂 if you pay attention to one of the senate scenes in the Star Wars prequels, you’ll see a bunch of people from ET’s race in one of the booths floating around😂

[@DemonicTheAngel]

I swear the score at times has similarities to the Star Wars score. Does anyone else hear it, too? Its a cool theory, but its more than likely the directors just giving a nod to each other. If im remembering correctly, they were good friends. The costume actually kinda confirms that its not canon. How would there be a yoda costume if he existed in the galaxy far far away?

[@jermainehaslam5634]

Awesome reaction and the music in this is on another level, one of John William's best scores.

[@lindy1642]

Drew Barrymore was so young, but did such a good job as Gertie

[@LittleBlueOwl318]

Honey, we've had dishwashers for 75 years - lol

[@wesbeuning1733]

No, Jaws wasn't Spielbergs first movie. It was "Duel", which is wonderful.

[@celiashen5490]

ET's HEART LIGHT!!! He's a connected part of the collective on that ship. When they took off, Elliot seemed most receptive to ET.

[@womanonthinice1276]

We had dish washers, trash compactors, and color tvs in the 80s 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@finster1968]

And microwave ovens. 😉

[@gmunden1]

The dishwasher was invented in 1850. The first electric dishwasher was designed in 1929 by Miele. The first household dishwasher in the US was made in the 1950's.

[@chefskiss6179]

"It's like they were trying to make something... and they forgot." 😂😂😂 "Hey, my man E.T. call mutha f***in space with a mutha f***in coat hanger, umbrella, a rope, a saw blade and a fork... and I ain't got 5G everywhere in Lexington." 😂😂😂 - Those need to be on your t-shirts!

[@195511SM]

those weren't breadcrumbs. they were Reese's pieces'. THEY were written as M7MS IN THE ORIGINAL SCRIPTBUTM7Ms were afraid to associate with a monster movie so Spielberg hooked up with Reeses instead....and that's when Reeses became really big. In the book E.T. thought of those as energy pills. That's why he was eating them.

[@dustywaynemusic6297]

I've been laid up with a broken arm all week and the Wendy Williams thing is the hardest I've laughed since it happened 😂 thank you

[@simoliz03]

Feel better!

[@RaefonB]

Wishing you some speedy healing :)

[@dustywaynemusic6297]

Thanks guys

[@Tressa-l5b]

You are such a beautiful person❤️ I absolutely LOVE your reaction videos. I have horrible depression & your videos bring me such joy. Thank you for all the happiness. P.s you have the best dogs in the world. 🐶🐶💕

[@karenlackner192]

Fun fact…. They first approached M&M for the Candy bit. They turned it down and Reese’s Pieces was asked. It made that candy go to the stratosphere in sales. They had Dishwashers in the 80’s ???? 😂 We had indoor plumbing, cable, microwaves, computers, etc…. 😂 It’s okay with the tears, too. We were all bawling like babies in the theater.

[@SC-gp7kt]

Classic movies are classics for a reason 💜 Reese's Pieces will forever be linked to this film and I can't eat them without thinking about E T. (talk about ad placement!!!) Fun fact: Neil Diamond wrote a song about this movie called "(Turn On Your) Heartlight"..... it's worth a listen.

[@christianalander9487]

Damn dude your laugh is so infectious! And your copilots are the best. 👍🤘♥️

[@ML-dz5ix]

In the book, ET thinks the fed’s keys are the jawbones from his previous victims.

[@phluke9578]

👊✊🥲🤓❤ Puts massive tears into all the eyes of all us Genxers. Lover your reaction, comments, especially at the end. You feel it. I just love your channel so much man. Heart, massive laughs, and respect.

[@jillk368]

And a Speak n Spell. He had that too. You might remember a Neil Diamond song called "Heartlight". He wrote that about E.T. Great reaction; really enjoyed it. Glad the spaceman grew on you, too!!

[@Jexorz86]

another fun fact, E.T's species, is on the galactic council in the star wars universe... which is why Et recognized the yoda mask

[@ImCaptainCabbage]

“That is the official I’m gonna get you boy truck”😂👍

[@Kronical69420]

A lot of movies in the 80s caused us major emotional damage. What was messed up is this, Poltergiest and The Thing came out while i was between 6 and 8 and my parents were neglectful enough that i watched ALL OF THEM. I didnt sleep for years. Also there is a movie out there, not sure if it holds up, but no one will remember it. I garuntee it fucked up people on that level. It was called Baby. About a dinosaur. Not sure if it holds up. For me its like Benji the Hunted. Never again. Their are tons of gems like this that did some damage or we would never forget. Star Man. Theres another one. Last Star Fighter was fun but had shit that scarred me for life. We also had tonics like Explorers. The Last Navigator. Then we get Howard The Duck and gen X are fucked for life. No going back after that. They made Robocop and Rambo toys. They knew are parents were too coked up to care. You know that episode of South Park where Butters gets hit in the eye with a throwing star? 80s ninja movies. THAT was our childhood. NINJA 3 the Revenge. So much WTF we end up dodging home made shuriken in the playground. My nose had been broken by 7th grade. Good times. Lol

[@clutchpedalreturnsprg7710]

Hello E.O.M., I have to write my phone number down on paper and keep it in my wallet. In case someone asks and needs it. Right away my mind goes blank, and I've forgotten it. I still remember my first phone number though.

[@Jml416]

I'm going to be honest, I never really got the hype about this movie. Maybe because I was I4 when it came out and was "too cool" to watch a "kid's movie". I didn't watch it until it came out on VHS and my younger brother kept watching it over and over. Still didn't love it, thought it was just ok. That being said, I really enjoyed your reaction to it and laughed my ass off! All I'm going to think about now is Wendy Williams with dick fingers!🤣🤣🤣

[@SmashAdams216]

You should watch Paul, another fun Alien comes to Earth movie! Great video as always!

[@davidlionheart2438]

"E.T. look like Wendy Williams"....................Goddammit, now I can't unsee it! 😆😆😆

[@lowkey1969]

Just to freak you out a bit, but "E.T.'s" race exists in the Star Wars universe. You can see a delegation of them in Phantom Menace. In the Star Wars universe they're known as Asogians.

[@daniellaplume3840]

The little girl is Drew Barrymore

[@LawNerd24]

Jason's copilot will be at the Rainbow Bridge waiting for him. ❤

[@dustinwright9700]

The scenes of ET being sick were hard for me to watch as a kid

[@CinWin516]

Blank, I love that you used the Reese's as the swear-blocker (like, what better one could you have used, right? ) I aloso loved the Jaws cut-in.

[@stumpfreak]

Nerd born 1981 here; would love to know your thoughts about ALF

[@manalive7618]

And if you want to get serious, I have been to rehab/detox, years ago. You're much better off in prison than signing your rights away. It was a short span of about 11 days, and why am telling you this I have no fucking clue, but I guess it's easier to tell strangers than people we know. And it feels good. From that point forward I saw a therapist who is one of the best in the world and he said, Matt you should've never been in that shit hole… For $800 a night They kept me alive from

[@paulmohr319]

It's Pauly from Detroit. This movie I remember being really big at the drive in theaters. Whole families would pack up the car, truck, and big back then station wagons. Just imagine the sound of the sobbing and crying. If you have never been to a drive in movie, find one and go. Spoiler alert: sometimes the best shows are not on the big screen.

[@okay5045]

Now you have to watch "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" You will love it

[@davidbarnes1113]

One of my favorite movies! Saw it in theaters when I was 18 . The emotions I felt when E.T. Was dying tho .All Steven Spielberg movies give you a feeling I can’t explain. You should watch “Close Encounters Of The Third Kind “.

[@charlesc7950]

Drew Barrymore was so cute

[@laurakali6522]

Cried when I first saw this and I was 19. Still cry when I rewatch it. And I’m 60.

[@gmughadam76]

My deepest and most sincere condolences on Jason's co-pilots passing... I Empathize your loss on a personal level

[@shellygill5029]

E.T. Is a Stephen Spielberg classic. Sure note: the little girl who plays Bertie is all grown up of course and has acted in many movies. She has her own weekly tv show now on ABC.@ 3 p.m. eastern time. Her name is Drew Barrymore. If you've ever watched the the classic Christmas movie, "Its a Wonderful Life " you will remember the mean old man in the Wheel chair, Mr. Potter. He is John Barrymote, Drew's grandfather. Just a movie trivia fact

[@ericksedits]

I never knew John Barrymore was Drew's grandfather. That's amazing trivia.

[@oliverbrownlow5615]

John was Drew's grandfather, but it was John's brother Lionel (Drew's Great Uncle) who played the villainous Mr. Potter. And Drew's character in *ET* is Gertie (short for Gertrude), not Bertie.

[@stargate533]

You gotta see the commercial they made last year I think. It has the same guy who plays Elliot but as an adult and ET comes back to visit. It’s a cute commercial. I forgot what the commercial was for but definitely cute

[@xavierdorsey2160]

When they came out the house they could've taken the sheet off of him and had him walk around as himself even though it's Halloween. People would think some kid is wearing a neat costume. That's what I would've done.

[@timroebuck3458]

ET, phone home. That'll be six million dollars for the first three minutes.

[@jamesnorthup7717]

It's really just the story of Christ, he comes from the heavens, spreads joy and peace, preforms miracles, the authorities are after him, he dies is resurrected, goes back to the heavens but stays in their hearts and minds.....

[@sonyaclarke7586]

How bout Close Encounters? Its another Steven Spielberg movie that fits with the alien drama thats been all over the internet.

[@Jodie.DeHart]

I loved this reaction so much!!🥹🥹🥹🫶🫶❤️❤️ J, you never ever disappoint! I saw this when I was 10 at the theater. I cried like a baby!! And I loved it all at the same time!! And from then on, I consistently pestered my mother for Reese's Pieces candy😂😂. Also, to Jason, I'm very, very, truly sorry for the loss of your co-pilot. But we never really lose our co-pilots. They are in our hearts forever.❤❤❤🐶🐶🐶

[@isthatwhatemptymeans8222]

I watch a lot of reaction channels. Ole boy has many advantages over his fellow reactors cuter dogs, better jokes, great Detroit disses. The thing he has over all of them in my opinion is that there's a lot of that good Ole WV country boy in him and he displays it in the sincerity he shows when he's speaking kindness to his subscribers. I'm so glad he's a part of my free time internet viewing. Don't ever change big homie.

[@shoddyworkmanship4934]

You know, a lot of these families living in big houses aren't necessarily rich. It just so happens you could afford to raise a family on one full-time job back then. People having to stuff themselves into small apartments and work two full time jobs just to make ends meet is something that developed over the last three decades. You can't assume things now are as they've always been.

[@leslieoneal4464]

I'm glad somebody pointed this out! Heck, when I came along in '64 (as the 6th child in the family), Daddy was in the Navy & Momma was a stay-at-home wife/mother...the norm back then. We lived in a 3-story home in a decent neighborhood near Washington, DC...had one older sedan & bought a new VW bus, went on nice yearly vacations, etc. Daddy, as sole breadwinner, made $6,000/year!! Life was sooo different back then, people nowadays honestly can't even imagine it. *sighs* What's sad is that I raised my daughter as a single parent in the '80s and life was still so different from today's world!

[@saagisharon8595]

30 years ago when we were low income, my mom was always telling me that most people are living the way we did and that we were doing just fine but somehow I always knew in the subconscious that someone doesn't like the fact that the masses could do just fine

[@sonyaclarke7586]

I could afford an apartment in NYC in the 80s. I cant afford to go back now.

[@russellward4624]

Especially if you know how to fix up places. My parents bought a 100 year old house in a borderline neighborhood. One side of the tracks was really poor and suspect and the other was really rich. But the front door wasn't even attacked, there was a huge bee-hive in the house. It needed a new roof and plumbing issue. Kind of like the house from the Tom Hanks film The Money Pit but not nearly as nice. But they knew people that knew roofing etc.. and fixed it up themselves. Those houses don't exist anymore, at least in nice neighborhoods. The banks buy everything up making the housing prices rise.

[@waregl72]

This was marketed for kids, but I will say that it was NOT a kids movie.

Fun fact: in the 2011 comedy movie "Paul" (Seth Rogen, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost), the alien "Paul" consults with the real Steven Spielberg who was looking for advice on his new E.T. film. Great cameo (voice only).

[@jinn91]

There's a theory that et came from same universe as star was cause of how it looked at Yoda and was like home home home. And in the phantom menace if you look closely you can see et's species there in the court scene

[@dabe1971]

This is, in my opinion, John Williams finest creation and that's some body of work to pick from ! The whole 'Adventures on Earth' suite from the beginning of the final escape and chase leading to that final rainbow stanza is PERFECT. It never, ever fails to reduce this 50+ year old guy to tears. Wonderful work from the Maestro of Maestros and he knew it because it was one of the rare occasions where Williams actually asked Spielberg to hear what he had composed without the footage. Why ? Because he couldn't match the visuals with the score as per usual but he knew he had something special. Spielberg agreed and once he'd heard it he took the movie back and re-edited the final scene to match the score. Henry Thomas nailed his performance. Do you know the story about his audition ? He wasn't the first choice, another kid was chosen but whilst he could act, after losing a game of Dungeons & Dragons being played on set during further casting he showed his real colours when he lost. He kicked off and became a real asshole of a kid and the casting director realised the real person behind the act wasn't the sweet innocent 9 year old they wanted and nobody liked him so they axed him. Word reached them about a young boy from Texas called Henry who seemed to be the real deal, a great kid who could also act. Due to time restraints after the first error of judgement with their initial choice for Eliot, Spielberg had him flown out to audition in front of him in person along with the Producers. He was given a general premise and asked to improvise - and it was filmed. You can view it on KZbin. Famously, at the end, with hardened Hollywood producers in tears, you can hear Spielberg tell him: "Ok Kid, you got the job..."

[@Mark_E_M]

That's the amazing thing about the end of this movie...young or old, we ALL shed tears!!!

A lot of movies choke me up, but only two have scenes that damn near make me bawl my adult eyes out: E.T. and The Fox and the Hound.

[@bweikie]

Omg not the Fox & the Hound..........I cannot rewatch that movie!

"He's a man from outer space and we're taking him to his spaceship." "Well, can't he just beam up?" "This is REALITY, Greg." Let's not be too hard on Keys (Peter Coyote). He does literally nothing wrong and shouldn't be considered a villain. He's just doing his job protecting us from free loading illegal extra-terrestrials and dolphins. Keys is a hero to the #HumanityFirst ideal. Fun Fact: Feature film debut of C. Thomas Howell and Erika Eleniak. Ford Galaxy Fact: Yes, that is the VOICE of Harrison Ford as the faceless teacher. Richard Swingler is the physical actor. Pinocchio's Revenge Fact: Most of the full-body puppetry was performed by a 2'10" tall stuntman, but the scenes in the kitchen were done using a 12-year-old boy who was born without legs but was an expert on walking on his hands. ER Medics Fact: The doctors and nurses who work on E.T. are all real emergency room technicians. They were told to treat E.T. the same way they would treat a real patient, so that their dialogue and actions would seem as real as possible. Reese's Legacy Fact: The filmmakers had requested that M&Ms be used to lure E.T., but The Mars company denied their request, fearing that E.T. was so ugly, he would frighten children. Reese's Pieces were used instead, and as a direct result, Reese's Pieces sales skyrocketed. Because of this, more and more companies began requesting that their products be used in movies and Reese's Pieces became a movie theater stable. However contrary to popular belief, this was not the birth of product placement.
