“Mathison was born in Los Angeles and attended U.C. Berkeley.”

I’ll try not to hold that against her, because E.T. rocked my socks and rocked my kids’ socks, too. Inspiring movie, all the way around.

What DO Harrison and Calista talk about? How can you trade such TALENT and INTELLIGENCE for a dopey stick figure?

Never understood that one...unless Mathison dumped HIS butt and we never heard about that, LOL!

Nope just another case of a wife getting older and her husband found he just couldn't live with anyone "that old" so went for someone his mental age rather than his actual age! I assume that after discussing nail colors and the latest clothing fad, they're pretty much out of conversation but then that's not what got them together in the first place!

One only had to look at Tony Curtis. He could only stand to be married to 19-21 year old women no matter how old he got! I imagine he emotionally matured to about 19 years old and just couldn't live with anyone older than that!

Lots of guys have that problem. Actors or people in the media business especially.

Unfortunate but true.
