We watched the 20th Anniversary version (recut?) of E.T. on TV last night. I was surprised how well Spielberg's touch as a great story teller holds up, though his heavy-handed manipulation of emotion was much more apparent to me than before. I was even more impressed than before with the deft use of one J. William's best scores. Still ended up teary-eyed at the end...oh well.

In 1981, Steven Spielberg, contemplating the casting of his upcoming E.T. film project, uses a time machine to travel to 1996. He finds that Drew Barrymore and Erica Eleniak have done nude scenes in films and become bimbo actresses. To give them a small shred of innocent dignity via acting credentials in a children's classic, he hires both of them to be in his film. Dee Wallace-Stone queries Spielberg on his choices, but he tells her he could not save her from the embarassment of her nude role in "The Howling."
