The original title is "Raiders of the Lost Ark", but now Lucas wants us to call it "Chapter 24: Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark".
Let's hope George "I like to fiddle with it until I'm dead" Lucas doesn't have much influence over Spielberg these days.
I doubt that would matter. Lucas isn't involved with E.T., but Spielberg was more than happy to bastardize that film in the name of political correctness and the almightly dollar. These guys are two peas from the same pod.

Good point. Reports are, however, that the original version of ET will be available on DVD, So Spielberg has that much in his favor.
Should we go back and touch up Metropolis or Bride of Frankenstein because we have better SE technology now? ]
Since those are two of my favorite movies(especially BRIDE), I would have a coronary if anyone dared to touch those films. And even if Fritz Lang or James Whale were still alive, I doubt either one would want to mess with a film to bring it "up to date".

WTF? Chapter 24? What were the first 23 chapters?
This movie used to be a nice little piece of entertainment. Why are they making it all so confusing?

Chapter 23 is The Temple of Doom.
Chapters 1-22 are the new remastered 22 two hour long Young Indiana Jones episodes.
Personally I love Young Indy.
I think the main point we need to argue is 'GIVE US THE ORIGINAL VERSIONS TOO'. No one would give a rats arse about what they do if we have a version of the original we can still get hold of.
