View Full Version : 2001: A Space Odyssey
Was musing over cheap doovd?s at Tescos and saw it for ?3 so thought I'd give it a shot. Watched it last night.
Erm :wtf: According to comments on imdb, anyone who thinks its a complete bunch of turd clearly doesn't "get it". Soooo, what am I supposed to be getting? Aside from the fact that Stanley Kubrick can't make good movies (FMJ excepted, although even that wasn't exactly great) but everyone seems to think he can...?
Has anyone else seen this? Can anybody explain to me why its supposed to be so good? :tard:

Is that the one with 5 guys, a bunch of little R2-D2 wannabees in a space-station come mobile planet?
Its all because of HAL lol

Ahh, HAL 2000? The supercomputer with severe depression.
Seen it a few times, last time is a few years ago
Still don't understand what Kubrick wanted to say with the black monolith and the strange colours on Saturn :confused::confused::confused:
The movie is nearly as weird as the Lost Highway from David Lynch lollol
HAL 9000, thats the badger.
"I'm sorry dave, I can't let you do that" lol
the strange colours on Saturn
Thats one of the bits I didn't get. Ok, so he left the ship in his little golfball-with-arms and floated down towards saturn? I'm assuming he died on entering the atmosphere, but I don't really get the whole hippy lights thing and the bit at the end where he's in that room and grows old...
"I'm sorry dave, I can't let you do that" lol
PMSL thats for dave the next time he posts up randome pics of stickers

Now what was that one with the talking cat from outer space:confused:
Aliens had a cat in it, and the bugger survived as well!

Jones the cat! He was in Alien, but isn't he only in the start of Aliens? Can't remember if he's in the pod at the start of Alien3.
Should have given him the flame thrower and sent him into the air ducts instead of Dallas!

Ahh thats it!
The Cat From Outer Space (1978),
A UFO is stranded on earth and impounded by the US government. Its pilot, a cat with a collar that has special powers (Called Jake), including the ability to allow the cat to communicate with humans, has eluded the authorities and needs the help of a man named Frank in order to reclaim and repair his ship to get back home.

Jack you're right with that last comment, extremely boring film, to the point where having noticed an IBM logo in the cockpit of the first transport ship, I spent the next hour and a half looking for more product placements rather than paying attention to the plot. Waaay to drawn out, but surprisingly good effects considering it's release date of 1968.
Right, HAL (the letters when read singularly are one letter less than IBM) is the machine taking over from man.
The film is 40years old, it was made when man hadn't stepped on the moon( or movie set in the nevada desert). there was no dialogue for about thirty minutes. the special effects used no cgi, just some blokes called Reg & Bert.
The best bit is when Reginald Perrin is shown in zero gravity sitting, eating his dinner on the ceiling when his crewmate walks below. this was achieved by simply tying him to the ceiling & giving him a plate of gooey mashed potato.
The monolith is a metaphor for kubricks idea that there really was some sort of Great Creator that appeared every time the next evolutionary step took place.
Aliens is much better
Oh, & I got 'Dude where's my car?' for ?4 at tesco, a vastly superior film, I think you'll agree.
