Kyle: When an artist creates, whatever they create belongs to society

George Lucas: Have I... become so old that I've forgetten what being an artist is about?


And that's all I think most of us have been trying to say. I loved that episode and really truly hope that someone brought it GL's attention. At least Spielberg wised up at the last minute and released E.T. in *both* the original and the 'SE' versions without having to buy the stupidly expensive box-set that no one wanted.
What do you mean "No one wanted?" I've got it and wanted it.

I should also add that ET was the first movie to freak me out so bad I had nightmares.
At age 24 years and 11+ months, I still have trouble watching the movie. The chase in the movie opening and the shot where ET is face down in the ditch, they still give me the willies.
Any movie that can get that kind of reaction out of me has to be strong.
