It's Like A Car Accident...

...It's horrible, but I can't look away!

I'm pretty sure that E.T. is the creepiest movie Hollywood ever thought up. Boy5 is obsessed with the show, and watches it about 3 times a week. I haven't watched the whole thing yet, but every time I catch a glimpse of a scene, I get the heeby-jeebies. This movie used to fascinate me when I was little, so the creepiness hasn't blossomed from some childhood trauma associated with the Extra-Terrestrial. It's only recently that I've started to freak out about it.
As yet, I have no explanation. It's just awful. It's weird. It freaks me out.

And I sit here, watching E.T. die and Elliot slowly flicker in and out of conciousness with him.
Isn't humanity funny?
