So, GC, maybe you would know. The new DVD (or Blu-Ray, for those able) release of Close Encounters of the Third Kind is said to contain the original '77 release, but, does it really? I'll be getting it regardless, but, I'd love it if past omissions have been repaired.

You know who would totally know? iSm. He's the biggest CEOTTK geek I have ever met.

You know, I'm just not sure about Beowulf. It has the same "dead eyes" problem that Final Fantasy and Polar Express had. Everyone looks dead because they can't get the eyes right... Some of it is great looking, but they should have gone with live actors and animated everything else...

What they should have done is leave poor Beowulf alone. Hasn't that story been mangled enough already?

Saw Beowulf last night. The dead eye problem didn't really bother me though one thing I realized about half way through it that may contribute to it is that the eyes have no major lighting reflections in them like eyes in any photograph and live action movie do.

I wasn't really bothered by the plot changes they made, especially if it gives us Barbie (in shape and genital smoothness)-naked Jolie.

Judging by the pictures I've seen of Beowulf himself, I don't think I'll notice the other characters in the movie (or the dialog, or the plot.....).

I dunno about the Beowulf movie, but I do enjoy their viral site...
