Poltergeist. Tobe Hooper, 1982.
😿
Edition screened: MGM/UA DVD, released 1997. English language. Runtime approximately 114 minutes.
Summary: Typical cheap Spielberg garbage involving a dead pet bird.
Details:
1) Pet canary found dead in its cage, 7:48-7:52.
2) JoBeth Williams carries it disdainfully to the bathroom and is interrupted by the little girl just before dropping the bird into the toilet, 9:03-9:15. A cigar b0x burial complete with mockery and eye-rolling follows.
I just saw this movie for the first time and hated it. I had been led to believe that it was something interesting, not a Goonies/Gremlins/E.T. thing. Not for me.
