never seen E.T

Me either. Since I heard Speilberg "improved" it, it's unlikely that I ever will bother.

It is just a feel good kid show in which guns have digitally been removed and replaced with radios. The movie is a good lead in for Speilberg’s WAR OF THE WORLDS or ET Returns.

To Spielberg's credit, although he did "improve" the movie (most notoriously, poorly replacing federal agents' guns with walkie-talkies, amongst other small changes), when the DVD came out for the first time, it had both the new version and the original theatrical release in the box.

Compare that to George Lucas, who only reluctantly released the theatrical cuts of the Star Wars original trilogy to DVD, only for a limited time, and at a poor resolution to boot.
