 		Because it might be easier to work with a text transcript...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

OH MY, HOW THE
STARS COME OUT AT
NIGHT,

WHEN MY HEAD IS IN
THE CLOUDS

I GO SEEING EYE TO
EYE

WITH ALL THAT
HEAVEN HAS ALLOWED

WHILE LEARNING HOW
TO FLY

MY... HOW THE
BLESSED STARS COME
OUT AT NIGHT.

HOW THE
BLESSED STARS
COME OUT AT
NIGHT;

AND IN THEIR
FIERY FURY FIND
MY FLIGHT

AND BURN THEIR
SOULS FROM MY
MIND'S SIGHT

I CANNOT SHAPE
WHAT'S LEFT,
IT'S SO NOT
RIGHT -

BLAST THE
BLESSED STARS
THAT COME OUT
AT NIGHT!

MY STARS, IT IS AS IF I AM
BEING PUNISHED.

HELP...


btw: has anyone started working on naming everyone on the page? It's a huge task -- I hope it's not necessary for the solve. For what it's worth, the two biggest faces seem to be Jack Nicholas from The Shining, and Anthony Hopkins from Silence of the Lambs. They both played crazy people...hmm...

We started a bit in chat the other night, but didn't finish. The few I remember were Brad Pitt, Joe Pantoliano (Joey Pants), Carrie Fischer from Return of the Jedi, Mel Gibson, Jean Luc Picard from Next Generation, Carrie-Ann Moss from the Matrix, Bruce Springsteen. There's a couple in there that I think may be impossible to identify, like the eye next to Carrie Fischer, so maybe that's a sign that we won't have to identify them at all.

 		The text seems to be referring more to celestial stars than, ya know, holywood stars. There is also reference to eyes in the text. Has anyone thought about counting all the eyes? Or playing connect the dots with the eyes? It seems that's the direction we're being nudged in.

 		my gut tells me not to bother identifying the faces. My gut also noticed many eyes are deliberately obscured. I did try to make an overlay with just the visible right eyes -- didn't try just marking the obscured eyes -- but the resulting "constellation" was nothing recognizable.

Crazy definitely seems like a theme here. There are several actors from the movie "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" in there. Plus, I'm not sure which movie the Brad Pitt picture comes from, but he was definitely crazy in Twelve Monkeys...


edit: ooh, the big 3-0-0 !

 		Just observations:

It's always the right eye that is (partially) obscured, and the owners are all male (except trinity)

There's also a reference to left-right in the text:

RIGHT -


Maybe we only need the names of the stars that are missing their right eye?

 		Ed updated his "About" page again and gave us another cleithrophobia related page. In his update, click the word "page". However, for the lazy.

Warning, it IS a bit annoying, as it has a bunch of phrases flashing on and off the screen. People in chat are attempting to deconstruct the animated gif.

 		It appears that every actor/actress on the Cleithrophobia page is in one of these 11 movies...

 		I don't think I'll be much help on this, other than providing an image with all the left eyes marked.
