I challenge you not to cry at Henry Thomas’s screen test for E.T.

I already cry like a lit­tle bitch every time I watch E. T. (which I’m pretty sure stands for “Extra Tis­sues”). I feel no shame in admit­ting that. Now, thanks to this recently-surfaced clip of Henry Thomas’s screen test for the role of Elliott, I will now also cry like a lit­tle bitch every time I watch the Blu-Ray’s spe­cial features.

Phew, that was heart­break­ing stuff. I need a palate cleanser:

The 30th Anniver­sary edi­tion of E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial  was released on Blu-Ray Octo­ber 9th and is packed with every E.T.-related spe­cial fea­ture you could pos­si­bly want–except per­haps an audio track with Michael Jack­son nar­rat­ing  the movie. That edi­tion only exists in my dreams.

More stuff and things!
