Listening to it while I play diablo @sourcitruslady us the one watching

I hope I like it this time.

I don't understand! What is happening??? This is so weird but like so good!

Finishing the film.

Coast To Coast AM totally has me watching this again right now. #nerdlife

Time to check this one off my MUST SEE list. Curious to see how this goes...

That awkward moment when it suddenly got weird.

Ahora esta q es mas q buena ;)

Not the best film to start watching at 11pm

My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it

Open the pod bay doors H.A.L.

H.A.L. read their lips in the EV pod & then the movie went to Intermission. Greatness

First time watching, after hearing the directors commentary - maybe I'll stay awake for this one ...

"I'm sorry, Dave but I can't do that."

Hal just makes this so damn creepy.

HAL was a SOB!

I'm sorry, but this film bored me.

Love this movie. It's my favourite. "I'm sorry, Dave. I can't do that."

Starting the weekend with a classic.

Monotonous intonation and absence of acting, length of the picture, silence and long scenes without dialogue are a deterrment from watching in from start to end on TV. But just like anything that... more

Monotonous intonation and absence of acting, length of the picture, silence and long scenes without dialogue are a deterrment from watching in from start to end on TV. But just like anything that takes some effort, it is definitely worthwhile.

Never understood this movie...

I hate this movie, boring as a hell, not for me!

saw the last 45 minutes on TV ... this is my most favorite movie of all time #1 in my #100 movies list!! Epic

On Blu-Ray. I cannot wait.

Watched on bluray last night. Great quality, but I've never been a fan of Stanley Kubrick. Not my style.

Siri, open the pod bay doors.

Introducing Tyler to the best sci-go ever filmed!

Just watched a documentary suggesting that the Monolith, at key times in the film, represents a tv/film screen. To possibly allow the viewers to expand their consciousness like the apes, moon party and the Discovery mission... Ligeti's Lux Aterna was played as the Monolith's theme, and also played at the beginning, intermission and end when the screen was entirely black. It also had almost the same dimensions (looks identical upon viewing) as Super 70 Panaflex which it was filmed in. collativelearning.com/2001%20chapter%202.html

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do...

HAL: Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things Heartless computer huh?

Okay, I think I've got it. This film is stunning -- a technical triumph, typical of a Kubrick film. And yeah, it's not likely to ever be forgotten. I liked it. But what threw me was the... emotional... more

Okay, I think I've got it. This film is stunning -- a technical triumph, typical of a Kubrick film. And yeah, it's not likely to ever be forgotten. I liked it. But what threw me was the... emotional sterility of it all. Perhaps that was part of the point, perhaps we were meant to question if HAL was more human than the actual humans. If you were a sentient being capable of feeling and you know that they're going to take away your higher functions, you'd retaliate too. So what does this reveal about humans? And then compare that with the first act of the film.

Perhaps the emotional aspect of the film requires seven minutes of transmission, much like the interview between the media and the crew members of Discovery, and Kubrick's purposely omitted the editing process. Perhaps the effect this film has had on its viewers is meant to mirror the effect the voyage has had on its characters.

tl;dr 2001: A Space Odyssey is thought-provoking and beautiful.
