Jennifer Janet says she is an E.T. superfan and has seen the movie over two hundred times.
She brought a sweatshirt with E.T. on it that she wore when the movie came out in 1982. Janet went on to say, “It’s the first movie that I remember seeing in the theatre; my Dad took me to see it, so it’s special to me. “
The tickets sold for the event help fund the film center’s work in the community and bring independent films to Shreveport that cannot be seen at other theaters.
Wallace and Thomas will also be at Geek’d Con, which kicks off Friday, August 16th, at the Shreveport Convention.
