#tag talk
#an hour into space odyssey and it finally gets good cause they introduce Hal
#ten minutes after the person I was watching with gave up and went to bed.
#Kubrick please this first hour was fucking boring as hell
#I heard so much about how the cut between the apes to modern times is so good but genuinely I paused it and rewound five times while laughin
#like... this? this is the scene transition I've heard people fan over?
#anyway. I muted the movie audio and put Nyan cat and ancient aliens and stayin alive over different scenes and it was great
#gonna hang on to the rest of the movie because Hal just murdered someone so maybe it's good enough to watch with someone
#ngl this is why I sometimes prefer watching movies alone. I can watch a bad movie with no fear of what my companion thinks
#I don't have to hold room for “oh no what if they're not enjoying it? what if they wish we were watching something else”
#it always comes down to that damn social anxiety doesn't it
#like. I'm not interested in watching cats 2019 really. though I've gotten part way through it with various people
#but I genuinely think I could watch the whole thing if I were alone. I don't care enough to. but I think I could
#because watching the cats movie with someone sparks that secondhand embarrassment and cringe
#anyway go watch that contrapoints video on cringe and shame and social behavior policing it's pretty good
#all this to say. 2001 a space odyssey is very very boring
#like. it's slow but not in the way Jaws is slow. that one actually succeeds with the anticipation and suspense. space odyssey doesn't
#maybe it's partly because I've read the book? (Arthur C Clarke sci-fi is mid that's my hot take) but I don't feel like that's it
#there's just no suspense where there obviously is supposed to be. the grand symphonic music in the background feels paper thin veneer
#it's a grandiose front to a hollow scene.
#also the flight stewardesses supposed to be walking in zero g with velcro shoes are doing such a bad job of it.
#literally the first scene we see the shoes they zoom in and we explicitly see her rebalance catch her weight
#CATCH HER WEIGHT - IN ZERO GRAVITY?????
#anyway. I'm mad about that
