Who Wore It Best?

Blowsy layered bag-lady chic
(with probable booze breath)?


E.T. in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
or Miss Hannigan (Carol Burnett) in Annie?


I was trying to figure out who E.T.'s Gertie-sanctioned lady-outfit reminded me of just now and Carol Burnett's Miss Hannigan was my first thought. It might be the piece I read earlier this week on Annie at Electronic Cerebrectomy that conjured her up so quickly though. (For the record my second thought was of Gena Rowlands in Hope Floats, of all the godforsaken things to pop into my head. Random, random.)

And putting E.T. beside that lush Miss Hannigan is only serving to remind me of that weird ass scene where E.T. gets all wasted on beer while home alone and through his "bond" with Elliott makes the boy get all sloshed and horny at school.


Weird!

I am so digging the new banner-the mini senior citizen demons from one the greatest films of all time - you rock!

Thanks, Pax! And because I didn't have a place to credit your contribution to said banner, this is where I tell everyone that I swiped and set aside the image from your great post on the film last week. ;-)

Indeed, one of the best polls ever here and one of the best banners.

You're at the top of your game, sir!
