Spielberg Regrets Pulling a Lucas The director comes clean on his tweaks made to E.T.

All Things Fangirl provides the transcript which features the quote from Spielberg:

"Speaking for myself, you know, I tried this once and I lived to regret it. Not because of fan outrage, but simply because I was disappointed in myself. I was overly sensitive to some of the criticism E.T. got from parent groups when it was first released in '82 having to do with Elliott saying 'Penis Breath' or the guns... and then there were certain brilliant but rough-around-the-edges close ups of E.T. that I always felt, if technology ever evolves to the point where I can do some facial enhancement for E.T., I'd like to... I realized that what I had done was I had robbed the people who loved E.T. of their memories of E.T. And I regretted that."

As far as E.T.'s upcoming Blu-ray release, it sounds like Spielberg has learned his lesson. After asking the audience if they'd be disappointed to see only one version of the film released, the 1982 version, Spielberg received a resounding "No!" to which he replied, "Okay then. So be it."

No one has a movie resume like Spielberg.

Prolificness, range of styles=/=quality.
