NO SALE!
Yes, of course it's Spielberg's movie and if he retains the rights he can do as he damn well pleases with it. He can add giant blue bunnies dancing in the street if he wishes.
However, I have every right to not buy his new product if I deem the changes to be wrong. Not only do I disagree with the notion that this change is solely due to artistic vision (he wouldn't have Neary leaving in the mothership in CE3K today, but you don't see him digitally altering that film) but I do think it's a "big deal" in the movie itself. The music cues, the look on the actors faces, the pacing will all be totally out of place when we see federal agents carrying walkie-talkies instead of rifles.
