I.....uh...I dont what to think about this.

[TMLS' BROTHER]

:eek:

Why E.T. is a classic why make another? It's like the new Indiana Jones movies they shouldn't be made.

[Summers]

milking a franschise until it cant be milk anymore

[VersesBatman]

You know, I thought they couldn't make anymore sequels until this...

[TMLS' BROTHER]

Why don't Lucas and Spielburg listen [Not that they are the only ones but they are the worst] nobody wants anymore! Is it just that they are greedy and they want more money. If so, that makes me :mad:!

[Summers]

Just one of the reasons a lot things that werent understanble in Revenge of the Sith were dealt with in The Clone Wars cartoon seires. More money.

[TMLS' BROTHER]

That makes me :mad:! Just for money!

[VersesBatman]

I always thought Speilberg never wanted to do an ET sequel. That's what he said when he re-released it.

[TMLS' BROTHER]

He shouldn't of re-released it IMO.

[VersesBatman]

I just didn't like the touched up version. It was nice of him to include the original version in the DVD set.

Unlike Lucas...

[TMLS' BROTHER]

Yeah UNLIKE Lucas. The only way i've found you can get the originals is on VHS.

[VersesBatman]

I know, that really bites.

[TMLS' BROTHER]

I actually found the VHS' the other month, but didn't buy them :( didn't have enough money :( :(

[VersesBatman]

I need to fix my VCR so I can't watch the ones I have.

Some say ET is a sequel to Close Encounters of the 3rd kind.If done well,a sequel to ET might be good.Certainly nostalgic.Everything else has had a sequel-2001 A Space Odyseey-Star Wars-Back to the Future etc.Wonder how many of the old cast would come back.

:lol:

[axisoftime]

Overall I would probably agree Sierra-however Speilberg and Barrymore hardly need the money.Maybe they really want to make the sequel-they both know that a half-assed job will make them both look bad.

[VersesBatman]

Some movies just don't need a sequel.

[axisoftime]

So even if it turns out good,youre not interested?

[VersesBatman]

Not really. They can't recapture the magic of the original.

[axisoftime]

Thats very true.When ET came out Star Wars had only been out a few years.ET was unique for its time-just as Star Wars and the 1st Superman movie.It was a certain magic,that with films now using CGI and other stuff,people are used to.

[VersesBatman]

And too much time has passed. AS cool as CGI is, I liked the puppets of movie like Star Wars, Neverending Story and ET.

[axisoftime]

Well,Id have to say Gollum in LOTR was done very well.I havent seen Neverending Story in a long time,but i dont offhand remember the fx being as good as ,say,Star Wars.I remember the close-up of the kid flying on that creatures head or shoulder.

[VersesBatman]

The Luck Dragon was cool and I still think it's cool even though I know it's a puppet. I want to reach out and pet it.
