Yeah, no, E.T., but yeah, they re-released it, but now you can watch the older version if you get your hands on it, I believe. But E.T. is like, I still very much, obviously, I like things. E.T. is an unbelievable film. Now, how about this? E.T. or Close Encounters? Close Encounters. Close Encounters. Every time. Yeah. I think I go E.T. actually. Really?

I think Close Encounters is like if you're like Henry and you're a bigger fan of aliens in general, it's got the lore. All of it. It's got the research. Also the idea that maybe Spielberg, like this is where I love the conspiracy edge too because Spielberg At the time, he had government consultants working on that movie.

Jacques Vallée, who was obviously one of my favorite theoreticians, my favorite alien thinkers, he was also a consultant on the movie. He's portrayed as a character within the movie. The French guy in Close Encounters of the Third Kind is based off of that guy. And so Spielberg technically was told many times that this was like, that's why there's a lot of conspiracy theories.

Was the ship in the desert something that actually happened? No, but the idea of the U.S. government coming up with a communication protocol to talk with something that doesn't speak is actually, I guess, like part of the government research he got. that he slipped into the movie.

Like what happens in Arrival that that's what... Basically, the idea of using tones, like when he does the whole talking to the aliens, that came from a government concept of if we are approached by another species or something from outer space, how do we communicate? And so that is what's awesome. That's what's awesome.

And then I feel like that's almost Steven Spielberg's crowning achievement is Close Encounters of the Third Kind. And it's just, the end's beautiful. It's wonderful. It is.
