Drop some acid/mushrooms/hash-cake, and then watch it again...
Trust me, it'll all then start to make much more sense...

BladeRunner is one of the Greatest movies ever made! But I didn't like it when I originally saw it.TheAussieReaper wrote:
Alot of ppl say the same thing about the movie Bladerunner. I like it, but have plenty of friends who hate it or don't get it.
2001 is a good movie, but very layered.
But you obviously wouldnt know a good movie if it kicked you in the balls. So if your not an Armageddon fan, maybe its the '3 Ninjas' franchise?Ninja_Kid2002 wrote:
Oh, and for those who say I don't like it because I don't understand it. True, I don't, but then I don't understand Revolver and I love that film. It just keeps you thinking about it ages after it's finished.
P.S. Armageddon and Depp Impact are big piles of shit too, Don't try and sully my good name by pretending I like those just because I don't like 2001.
You didn't like Revolver?Bertster7 wrote:
You quite clearly didn't understand the film or Blade Runner. I'd recommend you don't watch any other Kubrick stuff, or any of David Lynch's stuff or any other films that are intellectually stimulating.Ninja_Kid2002 wrote:
Well it's 78th on IMDB, lower than Aliens and Alien. Discuss.Braddock wrote:
'2001 A Space Odyssey' is one of the best films ever made, perhaps you should have watched 'Armageddon' or 'Deep Impact' instead.
2001 is rated directly above Terminator 2 on IMDB, other films it is above include Die Hard, Gone with the Wind (most profitable film of all time at the cinema), 8 1/2 and Full Metal Jacket - trying to use those listings to claim it's not one of the best films ever is pretty stupid.You loved Revolver?Ninja_Kid2002 wrote:

The fact that so much of the film has been used again is testament to how far ahead of its time the film was.Dersmikner wrote:
Dude, did you seriously think about that movie in terms of when it was made? Think about the book when it was written. That book was so fucking far ahead of its time it's not funny. NOTHING made today is nearly so prescient.
Did you know that Arthur C. Clark was the FIRST person to suggest SATELLITES? Your life would SUCK balls without that guy, and that book. It was HIS IDEA to bounce signals off dishes in geosynchronous orbit.
How about the space shuttle they flew to the space station?
How about the space station itself?
How about the tiny little thing of the guy putting the CREDIT CARD into the VIDEO PHONE and talking to his daughter?
Come on. The book was genius, the guy was genius, and the movie was genius. I'm sorry you have all gotten used to World of Warcraft and Battlefield II and mobile phones that play Myspace, but my God, the guy was basically the Oracle at Delphi.

I understood Eyes Wide Shut, and still thought it was utter shite. But 2001 is awesome.doctastrangelove1964 wrote:

That doesn't count and was shite, you're quite right. It wasn't really a Kubrik film though.KingCheese wrote:

I think the fail is you, too much mtv crap and emo must have affected you.Ninja_Kid2002 wrote:

I just wasted 2.5 hours of my life watching that cack! I haven't been so dissapointed since my parents bought me an Atari 1024 with a B&W monitor for Christmas when I asked for a SEGA Megadrive!
Film in short:
Monkeys born
Monkeys kill Tapirs
Monkeys kill monkeys
Monkeys find big black block (Monolith)
----
Man finds Monolith on Moon Titan around Jupiuter
Monolith deafens men
----
Computer (HAL) kills 5 astronauts
1 astronaut kills HAL
Astronaut then trips out for the next 15 minutes
Trip ends with astronaut seeing himself age in a Georgian mansion, before being confronted by a screaming Monolith!
THE END

The movie is too advance for you. 2001 is one of the best EVER movies that have been made.
Think of the movie as a whole, and you will understand the meaning of all.
