That damned thing gave me nightmares. > And then there was that hideous monster, E.T. Many people thought he > was cute, too. Other representations of him have been cute ... I have a stuffed ET that I got for Christmas the year the movie was out (which I guess means it's 20 years old now -- gee, no wonder the paint is flaking off his eyes :). And there are these strange road signs sprinkled around central Connecticut that show a cartoon ET strapped into a car seat, in between the words "BUCKLE UP". (I just took a photo of the one down the street that I'll be adding to my web page soon -- I'll forward the link when it's up, it really is quite odd.) >I liked the original trailer for Scooby-Doo: the one with the camera >rushing up the stairs of the empty house, while the voice-over intones >about the need for a hero, and then the backlit shot of Scooby with his >ears up, so that you're sure it's Batman, and then the quick shot of >Scooby's face looking surprised, quick end. I liked that one too, and was prepared to take the warnings I was getting from places like aintitcool.com with a grain of salt ... then the full trailer happened.

SMG has been in a couple of not-so-bad movies.

Can you say straight to video? Both of them have street names tho. Freddie Prinz will sell movies, so will SMG. I suspect Freddie will wind up directing, as for Sara, producing. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Mar 2002 23:50:30 -0600 From: Joseph Zitt Subject: Re: o/smg commits career suicide On Sat, Mar 16, 2002 at 12:37:12PM -0500, meredith wrote: > SMG has been in a couple of not-so-bad movies.
