I watched 2001: A Space Odyssey last night.
I'm quite glad they got their predictions wrong. 5 minutes of no sound or vision, 10 minutes of swirly colours and 45 minutes of model spaceships spinning to Blue Danube isn't how I spent my time in 2001. It'd be better described as 1965: A Spinning Camera Trip featuring Women With Bags on their Swedes'

What do you hope for in Futureworld? Or Future/Talk, if you're not going to leave the house.

What about the other 14 hours of the film?

Oh yeah, he spent it arguing with a computer that nobody had thought to put a manual override switch on.
Fuckwits.

I liked that bit. I also liked the way
it portayed space during the spacewalk. I liked Hal too.

That was a really good concept and well acted story, culminating in a deliberately
unclear and unexplained ending (as it apparently misses out a lot from the book, just to confuse you) and more spinning ships.

It was all a bit shit, really.
Let's be honest.
I've never been able to watch it all in one go because it's just so bloody tedious.

Put it this way. With an old video of it and a pair of scissors, you could
make a really good 45 minute film.

I think it's brilliant.

You're really dull though.

You're just not clever enough.

That's a lie.
I just have taste.

The film smells strongly of the Emperor's New Clothes in parts.

This is the least surprising post I'll see here all week.

(I helped save b3ta! Druid, Tue 2 Jun 2009, 19:55, archived)
the film wasn't of the book,
in fact both the book and the film were made in parallel, so neither one is more "correct". But the book obviously does have more detail in it.

I see what you did there.
I actually would like to see hair growth pills. It'd be cracking to be able to change your hair length quickly both ways.

BABIES.
Actually I am hoping for a nice new house with a large garden, big kitchen and plenty of lovely space for friends to stay in.

Then babies.

A nice part time job, to escape Northampton, and to have a place where we can have pets.
