You're missing the point. This means there were once trees on the moon!

BMIs? WTF!

Big Mean Idiots?

PS: LOLZ

My first impressions after watching both movies and reading both books, IIRC, since it was many years ago (I'm 34), were:

2001: great book, masterpiece of a movie.
2010: maybe even a better book than 2001, but a regular movie.

I still enjoyed the whole thing, of course.

I was able to see a restored version of 2001 in a proper movie screen in the end of the 90's. That's an experience I won't forget.

I do find it weird that people who love the book consider the movie boring though... I mean, it goes by faster than the book, of course, and it's basically the same thing, just masterfully illustrated. It's like watching a slide show. I actually have a book about the movie, with thousands of pictures from the actual frames. Interesting stuff.

Finally, a plan!

Ah, Arkanoid, the single player version of pong. I really miss that one.

You must be american. It's no wonder a genius of that magnitude decided to get the hell out. I hope you choke on popcorn the next time you think you're watching a movie.

There's so much on that masterpiece you'd take your lifetime just to grasp the obvious 10%. If you could focus for more than half an hour, that is.

But hey, don't take my word for it.

They should either change the whole thing (in all books, including 2001) to Jupiter, or stick with Saturn in all books (again, including 2001) since we know the reason why Kubrick couldn't stick to the original plan.

It's something that can easily be changed in a book in any new edition, but in the movie... well, not so much. Not to mention Kubrick would rise from the dead and destroy all manking if someone even thought about changing something in one of his movies. Covers and posters included!

Anyway, too bad slashdot wasn't around in the 60's so we could fix this. Now it's kind of too late.

Dude, take it back! It's only the best non-porn movie ever!

Oh, great! Now you made me wanna volunteer.

I can't wait for the first power tool manufacturer to go bust and be forced to turn to the sex toy market! Ah, the possibilities are endless.

Now that I think of it, I feel the same way about some celebs...

Nah, they'd probably say:

Ni Ni Niiiiii Nii Niiiii!!!!!

Which incidently means exactly the same.

Well, if they fell for that they didn't have to go insane, they'd have a huge headstart to begin with.

It's a shame I wasn't involved in the production of that one! I'd apoint one as commander and give him a Napoleon suit!

Wow, it must be huge!

This is getting too technical for me and there's no wikipedia entry for 'outside' or 'outdoors'...

Here. That'll sort this whole thread out...
