Speaking of which, I’m a little disappointed Steven chose not to reinsert the scene with Elliot’s principal, who was played by Harrison Ford, back into the 2002 20th anniversary special edition of “E.T: THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL”.

We've had comic legends do just that, from John Cleese to Bill Maher. Their comments, and bravery, matter.

No. They don't. For two reasons, one they only speak up when their personal ox is gored.

The second is they spent a very long time tearing down all the things the preserved a culture that protected free speech.

And then suddenly they discovered that the cuddly puppies were actually wolves that would tear them apart as well they were frightened. And cried about their wounds. But never managed to draw the line between their tearing down the fence that kept them safe and the wolf bite.

Imagine what Casablanca would look like if modern day feminists and trans ‘women’ took a pair of scissors to it...

Spielberg’s right on this issue.

Nope. Not a chance.
