Never did like that movie though, Space Odyssey, that is, not TWW. You have to be stoned to appreciate, e.g., the endless Blue Danube waltz. Kubrick must have been stoned when he filmed it.
I know that the film experts consider it impressive, with some ranking it among "the greatest movies of all time." It's just not a movie I enjoy watching, and I've watched it twice. Your riff on Hal is spot on, though.
You really are a geek, aren't you Chis? Oh wait- I followed all of that...
Cheers Garret. Takes one to know one eh?
Reminds me of The West Wing episode in which Debbie won't let Josh into a meeting in the Oval because he doesn't have his briefing memo.
And then when he retrieves the memo she won't let him in because the meeting has already started!

Not that I don't admire Kubrick's work in general. Dr. Strangelove is perpetually hilarious, and I've watched it countless times.
Yes, they reached for the stars with 2001 a Space Odyssey and fell perhaps a few yards short of the goal. Still it's an impressive creation.
