DVD Sewer notices something fishy with the upcoming DVD release of ET:

As you may know, Universal Studios & Steven Spielberg will be releasing an enhanced "Special Edition" of E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial in theaters in March 2002. As part of this release, the film has been enhanced with new special effects, additional footage, and an all-new digitally mastered soundtrack (sound familiar???). Further changes and alterations have been made, as evidenced below. We will not remark on this, but simply leave you with two images, one from the original/current edition of E.T., and the other taken from the new trailer for the Special Edition re-release (included on Universal's DVD release of The Grinch)...

(Somehow I managed to miss the news about the new E.T. Special Edition DVD. Hm.)
