really liked this new ET thing that people have been talking about.

I imagine (hope) that when I finally show them the actual movie they won't remember this commercial, but I was damn pissed to take my kids to see Frozen 2 today and have their introduction to ET (and iconic images like the flying bikes) be an xfinity commercial.

I'm not sure the original iteration of E.T. would really resonate with the kids of today, I mean the '80s version of the character didn't even seem to understand the intricacies of DVR-ing one show while watching another via one of the many streaming apps available to subscribers on the Xfinity platform. Our focus testing shows that young people only relate to fictional aliens that know how to navigate through On Demand menus with alacrity and a little swagger.

Why would that be? Boomers sure as hell weren't kids when ET was released in 1982 and a lot of them didn't even have children, yet.

All the people going crazy about it/forwarding it seem to be boomers.

I never considered ET a kids movie? Wasn't it popular all around?

hmmm. maybe they're just old, bored, housebound, overly sentimental, and unimaginative, and therefore a perfect demographic for Comcast.

It was nominated for Best Picture.
