  - Goodwill brought in $6.1 billion last year. Think they’re doing okay. -- nm - spamlet Oct 5, 11:20 1

- will Jon Hamm be a guest on What's New in Hams? -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 5, 10:53 6

  - I mean talk about a movie that is as excellent now as it was then. You should rectify this asap. - Jovian Oct 5, 10:25 1
    - re: "old" movies, I think E.T. plays like a 70s movie more than an 80s movie. -- nm - Max Oct 5, 11:11
- wait, what? -- nm - oblique Oct 5, 10:22 17
  - E.T. almost never ran on tv. I think the disparity between younger generations who've seen it vs Star Wars is bigger than the box office difference. -- nm - Max Oct 5, 11:07 4
    - Weird. I remember watching it consistently during the holidays (thanksgiving perhaps) on TV as a kid -- nm - oblique Oct 5, 11:07 3
