I can’t remember for sure—it was a long time ago. But I think I read the book first (although the book had a bunch of photos from the movie).
Rehabilitating celebrities? Now there’s some sci-fi for you. :rolleyes:
He sings like a drunken Hutt…
In situations like that I have to resort to watching the DVD on the computer while frakkin. It’s inconvenient but it gets the job done.
This whole sequence is utterly heartbreaking. 
And now… more creepy music.
If I remember correctly the Discovery was suppossed to look like a DNA strand…
This part really made me uncomfortable as a child. I really felt for HAL, I started tearing up. I felt like Dave was killing HAL.
I didn’t understand when later I heard that HAL was the villain in this and how he terrified audiences, computer gone mad.
What’s that bluish moon near Jupiter? None of Jupiter’s moons are that big (comparatively speaking).
Coming up soon the famous CROSS scene.
Kinda funny if you think about it, cool imagary, but coming from a jewish director kindda ironic…
Why not tell them about the secret? Just dumb. You know, the brains behind every operation are not always the brightest.
And now… Bowman on LSD!!:eek:
I don’t think that was ever the intention. I think the reaction that you (and I, and probably most of GWC) had was what Clarke and Kubrik had in mind.
It’s V’Ger!!! :eek:
I saw this the first few times on VHS. I never saw the monolith floating around in space prior to Bowman flying into it. It wasn’t until I got the DVD that I realized it was floating around in orbit. I always thot the weird LSD moment just happened.
Another galaxy… New Worlds being born… A brief glimpse of the Starlords… The fabric of space and time…
Now we enter the metaphysical portion of our program. Please leave your intellect at the door.
I don’t know. It makes a certain amount of sense. The psychological strain of long-term space travel is bad enough without dwelling on the weird aliens you were going to meet when you reached your destination.
Yes, Bowman… and many, many others. 
Blue Diamonds!!! (in a lucky charms voice)
Why do I hear Pink Floyd ‘Dark Side of the Moon’?
Too many laser night shows for 'talos.
