Viewing Notes

hooked up my new PS3 and spun Close Encounters of the Third Kind Blu-ray to officially launch my new console. Indeed, the transfer is amazing. So crisp for a 32 year old film. Looks so good. Upon this viewing, however, I realized that now I enjoy the first half of the film more than the second (when I was a child it was the other way around). The Devils Tower is a bit too schmaltzy, IMO. The human drama and discovery is where it’s at. Still an excellent watch.
