Anyone seen the 20th anniversary edition? I saw it tonight. I cried, I admit it...*sniff* I've never seen it before cause I wasn't even born when it came out, and when I was little it scared me to death, so this was my first time. Drew Barrymore was so cute back then! To me she looks like the little girl off the brady Bunch at that age, does anyone else think so?

[GandalfTheWhite]

yeah et is a great movie and drew does look kinda like cindy brady

[galadriel88]

BTW, does anybody know which scenes were added for this edition?

[Glorious Glorfindel]

didn't they add the one where e.t is in the bath? or did they just digitally enhance that one? can't remember, there was a program about the added scenes and stuff on the other day.

I haven't seen the new edition, but I saw it twice in theaters when it came out and I cried.

[galadriel88]

My dad says he thinks that the bathtub scene was already there, so they prolly just enhanced it.

I cried quite a bit, although the whole time I was thinking, "But there was that scene in the previews with all the boys on their bikes and E.T. in the basket, where is that? He can't *SPOILER ALERT* die!"

[GandalfTheWhite]

negative, the bathtub scene was already there, i saw a special on nbc, but they did enhance some other things with ets facial expressions, and at the end of the movie they gave the fbi agents walky talkys instead of shotguns because spielberg didnt want the guns around kids

[aldesign]

noway, the BATH scene was BRAND NEW.
they never put it in the origianl cos it wouldnt have worked with the pupettry.

I haven't seeen the new version but I do remember how Drew looked. I think I was 11 yrs old back when I saw the original. Hopefully, I'll get up the courage and patience to watch it. There's been so many friendly aliens/robots vs. Feds in films that I feel so jaded.

I also remember Drew in Firestarter. Her facial expressions there already look very muych like the ones in more recent films.

I haven't seen ET for ages. It's a good movie though. Every time I'm eating black olives I always put them on my fingers and say "ET phone home." lol... lots of fun. I know a girl that is a junior in high school and is scared half to death of ET. She won't even go in a room if someone is watching it... lol

The last time I saw it, when I was ten or something, I cried... it's the last movie I remember crying at.

I saw the 20th Anniversary Edition last week, and I very nearly cried again. It's like having my inner child rise out of me in a spasm of emotional fury.

[galadriel88]

It takes great courage for a man to admit that he still has emotions after age 10. ;)
