Of course Spielberg made ET to make big bucks. Who in their right mind would spend mega-bucks just to be creative. A pencil and blank pad of paper will let one be creative. What some people seem to miss is that there are other motives other than greed in the making of some movies. If it was just for the bucks then movie making would be a nine to five job instead of the labor of love that reshooting and careful planning seem to indicate. Don't condemn a great movie because it makes a lot of money. (And definitely don't praise a movie just because it cost a lot of money.) End of Tirade BGB
