When I first watched 2001 it was with my dad, it was on my list and he really just wanted to watch me watch the movie. We started late at night it’s like 1 am by the time we finish, absolutely was a trip to go through. I sit there gobsmacked for a solid 10 minutes before “what the fuck was that?”

He spends another hour going through those clickbaity “ending explained” type articles because we’re both exhausted and lost. I’m asking a endless amount of questions and theories- he knows no more than I did. It’s going on two in the morning. It is at this point I find out about the book series and

“Hal is later revived in the following books and saved by Dave Where they later merge”

Me: T H E Y W H A T

Im pretty sure it gave us both brain worms.

It is the year 40,000AD. When evil scientist Durand Durand (Milo O’Shea) creates a deadly weapon with the potential to cause mass devastation, the President of Earth dispatches Barbarella (Jane Fonda) to hunt him down. Crash-landing in an icy wilderness somewhere within the Tau Ceti planetary system, Barbarella is rescued by Mark Hand (Ugo Tognazzi) and guided by the blind angel Pygar (John Phillip Law) to Durand’s lair in Sogo, a city of corruption and debauchery, where an encounter with the Great Tyrant Black Queen (Anita Pallenberg) and her minions throws her mission into jeopardy.

Pre-order Barbarella.

please take possibly the dumbest thing ive ever made

The Creation of the Humanoids (1962)

Oh great, another incredibly science fiction movie that uses robots as a ham-fisted alagory for racism. Is the sort of thing I probably would have said about his movie 10 years ago. But the inclusion of elements like a citizens brigade who go around harassing robots, celebrate a single act of robot-on-human violence as the justification they need to push through anti-robot legislation, and make the suggestion of physical exams of anyone suspected to be a robot, make it into one of those thing where it seems people took "This is what fear and ignorance of hose different form you can lead to" as a challenge rather than a warning. Unfortunately, despite its accidental relevancy to a situation 60 years in the future, after the halfway point the themes really start to drift away and the message that they're trying to deliver gets incredibly messy.

6/10

Quote in his cubical and some influences on his overall character

No Sci fi for Lora? :(

There’s no major reference or tie from what I can see/remember.

For many people, "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" is one of the boring episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series. I don't judge anyone who think like that, but for me, the performances of both Frank Gorshin and Lou Antonio as Bele and Lokai are a masterpiece!

Just watch their overall, face expressions, body movements and their dialogues.

Need to rescue Space odyssey from film bros*. As it’s sort of left the film with a reputation of having a bunch of guys “you have to have a high IQ to understand Rick and Morty” levels of BS around it where they 1. Are absolutely surface level analyzing 2. Got the surface level stuff wrong too

Like I cannot stress enough that yes 2001 is a bit of a artsy drag to get through sometimes but it absolutely is not what these people are trying to make it out to be. There’s so much more to the series and it takes a watch or too but once you get it - you get it.

Maybe we can shoo them away by revealing it’s always been “woke”? Idk something about having an optimistic view of the future where everyone gets a long for scientific discovery, evolution and stopping nuclear risk forever. Something about the fact the computer is explicitly not evil just mentally ill. They even spell this out there’s no excuse to keep saying this.

Something about the second book/film having a bisexual couple as main characters. Russians are good guys, Racism bad, Women smart, and that he sort of accidentally just makes a lot of character closeted gay (or bi) from trying WAY to hard to make them seem straight (between Dave’s situationship and crazzyyyy women divorcing characters for noooo reason they really wanted to stay together see it’s not their fault or anything…)

*I don’t know if film bro is the right term, or what would be the right term in this instance but it’s a good stand in
