It is some great work and useful resource.
Last week Steven Spielberg was speaking about alterations he made to his own film, ET:
Spielberg talks his ET editing regret
I should have never messed with the archives of my own work, and I don’t recommend anyone do that. All our movies are a kind of a signpost of where we were when we made them, what the world was like, and what the world was receiving when we got those stories out there. So I really regret having that out there.
Someone make sure he talks to George about this…
Is there a thread on here that lists other film directors, film historians and critics’ similar thoughts? Or on altering movies in general, years after release, or not preserving the original versions of films?
I have looked, and searched for one on here, but have not managed to find such a thread.
