    I've just finished watching ET with my kid and noted a few things.
    See if these remind you of any thing:
    ET is not of this world...
    ET heals the sick
    ET radiates love from his (sacred) heart
    ET dies and is resurrected
    ET ascends into the heavens.

    Give ET a few thousand years and ya never know what might happen.

    Is ET Jesus?

    Jesus wasn't directed by Spielberg and as a result the new HD edition of the bible does not result in Jesus getting crucified on a walkie talkie.

    ET never turned water into wine

    No, ET was a fictional character who lived in the sky.

    Was Drew Barrymore the whore of Babylon?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 884 ✭✭✭spider guardian


    yes, ET's father was a carpenter and his mother wasn't even his mother. just some vessel that was magically inseminated by a fertile god. it's uncanny!

    No there was a school of thought(films critics drawing parallels like yourself, me once too :)) that ET was based on the life of Christ and even stories that Spielberg back this up but he has denied it.

    Quite a lot of films look like they have spiritual under linings tbh.

    Spielberg answered that he did not intend the film to be a religious parable, joking, "If I ever went to my mother and said, 'Mom, I've made this movie that's a Christian parable,' what do you think she'd say? She has a kosher restaurant on Pico and Doheny in Los Angeles."

    Granted there are some parallels...my son

    however there are also some glaring divergences


    ET not such a good public speaker (EEETTT saave soul .........eh what you cleepy googley eyed little dingbat?)

    ET quite stingy with the old loaves and fishes or burritos and pizzas (whatever you get the idea)

    Although ET hunted by government types - ET quite popular with the general public, Jesus not so much really (in his own time at least)

    ET not make the ultimate sacrifice to save our eternal souls but instead spends the whole film snivelling and influencing easily led children to allow him to call an interstellar taxi so he can fcuk off home, the little bolox.

    ET greenish in colour.....presume Jesus wasn't...I think its a fair thing to presume.

    Anyway in summation.....I think that ET is not in fact Jesus.

    ET has some neck, pretending to be Jesus.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,072 ✭✭✭PeterIanStaker


    Is ET Jesus?

    No, because people haven't killed each other by the million over him.

    But you have to open your heart to the message of ET. You have to seek him.
    And besides that quote is taken out of context and was translated from the greek into hebrew then back into Greek then into Klingon before Gandalf decreed that it be read in its original Elvish...... then into English by King James.
    Both ET and God need a press officer

    One is a fictional character created to seperate honest, hard-working people from their cash.

    The other is ET.

    He sort of did, but reception was rubbish so went up a mountain to get a clear signal.

    It turned Drew Barrimore into a wino. It's much the same thing!

    If ET is Jesus, what does that make Indiana Jones?

    YES!! Yes I am.

    I shall pass around the collection basket in a minute. Give generously!

    So true, watched John Carpenter's 'The Thing' (1982) and it scared the poop right out of me.
    There's an awful lot of emphasis put on perfecting cgi while the beauty and effectiveness of hand crafted costumes/facial reconstruction goes sometimes unnoticed or forgotten.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,595 ✭✭✭bonerm


    YES!! Yes I am.

    Really?

    George Bernard Shaw said "I would trade all the paintings of Jesus for one photograph". So I guess what I'm getting at here is : can I have a photo and time machine please?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,269 ✭✭✭Blackhorse Slim


    JC was Superman.

    What no-one realised is that when he changed his robe and put his glasses on, he went by the name of Judas.

    What's the purpose of my life, JC/ET?

    (Actually, on a side note, you can rearrange JC/ET to get JECT. And guess what Jesus's first name was? Elijah. That's right. E.JECT.)
