i'm pretty sure you didn't care for the changes in it right?

Too bad we owe the era of bad cgi fakery to a mostly entertaining film Jurassic Park. It truly created a monster, made Lucas go gaga for cgi "ooh, ah. Yes that looks faker than it did before i'm sold, how much time and money does it save me."
i find it interesting how you point to a lot of movies by spielberg, (jaws, etc). and yet you
never seem to think he's also at fault for ruining a lot of current series, and using just as much cg
in movies also...

Sky didn't mention the 2002 version of E.T. because it is a non issue. It sucked, we all complained about it at the time, it was lame, BUT the very first DVD release of E.T. included both versions is EQUAL quality, so while it sucked, it didn't matter because you had the original from the get go. Likewise, had the SW trilogy been released with both versions in EQUAL quality from the very first DVD release in 2004, or had a release equal in quality to the 2004 versions since then, you'd be amazed how quickly people like us would stop bitching, just like we did when they got smart and decided to release both versions of E.T. in 2002. What is your preoccupation with E.T.'s 2002 release -1? You seem to be talking about it quite a lot lately. Personal, I think it is an excellent example of exactly how a film that is treated to a director's cut so many years down the road ought to be treated.
As for your second comment about sky not seeming to care about Spielberg using a lot of CG and ruining current series... are you kidding me??? Sky bitches about Indy 4 and Spielberg along with it at least three time a day. Even more confusing is how you quoted him saying, "Too bad we owe the era of bad cgi fakery to a mostly entertaining film Jurassic Park. It truly created a monster..." as an example of how it is interesting to you how he does not complain about Spielberg's use of CG. Perhaps you are misinterpreting that quote to be Sky praises Spielberg for bringing on an era of CG over use?
