Speaking of opening/closing credits, did anyone catch the subtle one in E.T.?
It was at the very beginning where movie companies put up their logos.  Well,
E.T. was made by Universal (I believe).  Universal's logo (normally) starts of
with a shot of the Earth rotating in space against a starry background and
some nebulous mists floating around.  Then the nebulous mists move towards the
Earth and coalesce into some bands, while the word "Universal" zooms (apparently
from behind the camera) into the center of the screen.

Well, in E.T., it starts off with the word "Universal" already at the center
of the screen and the bands already in place and then the exact opposite of
what normally happens; everything moves _a_w_a_y from the Earth.

I guess they were trying to hint that the whole point of the story had something
to do with leaving Earth.
