This movie was seminal in my development as a film geek. My 4th grade class went to see it at the local Cinerama theatre (with the curved screen), where I sat in the front row. It was the first truly "serious" and "important" film I ever saw. Needless to say, 2001 totally blew my young mind. It still does. It's a frustrating film at times, but it's also utterly majestic and daring. Wow.
Someone recommended that I read the book to better understand the film. Kubric had a way of making everything like some horrible nightmare, by leaving out just enough of the story to make everything mysterious and creepy.

I hate this film.
The greatest American film ever made...
Barry Lyndon was better.
And I know this girl who thinks that Keir Dullea was the hottest piece of ass ever who never got famous.
Speaking of which, someone needs to blog a list of the hottest pieces of ass who never got famous.
I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.
Keir Dullea was f'ing gorgeous

The finale of this scene is probably one of the most terrifying scenes I've seen on film.
What are you doing Hal?
