I must have watched this move at least 100 times, but this time of year, I never tire of it! Watched it twice tonight on TBS.

A lot of this movie was very confusing. But I read the novelization of the story the night before seeing the film for the first time. Last line from the book, referring to astronaut Dave Bowman after his transformation to the "star child"...
"For though he was master of the world, he was not quite sure what to do next. But he would think of something."
"For though he was master of the world, he was not quite sure what to do next. But he would think of something."
In the next few years I read the original Clarke novel and the "explanation". The sheer spectacle of the movie sucked me in, and that and Star Trek brought about my love of science and scifi.

I loved 2001 years ago. It was on one of the channels last year which I DVR'ed.
I couldn't sit through it.
it was long, and dry. maybe i have adult onset ADD.
on my flight to Tuscon I watched The Christopher Robin Winnie the pooh remake.
not bad, rather predictable.

I recently watched a DVD from Netflix, You're Not You. Hillary Swank plays the lead with ALS. Wow, it was good but hard to watch. One of Ricky's relatives by marriage has it and went from being fine to not able to sit or breathe on her own, in the few years since I met her. Watching this makes me wonder how I would handle having ALS. I don't think I'm a fighter.

I went old school the other night and watched The Warriors which was from 1979. Haven’t seen it in over 20 years definitely different times back then !
