Close Encounters of the Sleepy Kind

When we were in Arlington over Mother's Day weekend, Rita and Jerry lend me a DVD of Close Encounter of the Third Kind, which had never seen and "just had too see". Since Rita has to take the DVD back this weekend, I decided to watch it while they were carousing at Elisabeth's last night.

So first off, I guess I'm glad I saw (most of) it, so I know I've not been missing anything. Sure, it's supposed to be a classic, but what the heck is it about Sci-Fi flicks from the '70s? Just like with 2001 (OK, that was released in '68, but it's really the same thing), I had to fight hard to stay awake. It's not like I watch fast action Hollywood schlock all the time, but these movies just did not do it for me. Yawn, is all I have to say.

Maybe I napped through some part that made the movie truly worthwhile, if so, please let me know.
