E.T

Blockbusters that aren’t sequels — or spawn sequels — are very rare.

It's hard to believe but it has been 37 years since E.T. has visited this planet. The lovable extra-terrestrial from the 1982 classic from Steven Spielberg has reunited with Elliott, actor Henry Thomas, in a new commercial from Comcast Xfinity.

Ready your inner child, readers, because 'E.T. The Extra Terrestrial' is returning to theaters on October 3, just in time for that amazing and long-awaited Blu-ray release on October 9. Stock up on Reese's Pieces because we're about to phone home all over again.

Katy Perry is giving Lady Gaga a run for her money in the world of epic music videos. This week, the super-popular artist released the official video for her new single 'E.T.,' a literally out-of-this-world production that features everything from aliens, to elaborate costumes to an appearance by featured artist Kanye West.
