It ain't a fast food movie so of course it's "boring"

I enjoyed films like "The Man from Earth" (A movie where the entire film takes place in one room, on one couch and is all dialogue for 2 hours straight... for the most part)



and yes I thought this movie was boring.


35 minutes with absolutely zero dialogue bruh :camby:



But I understand how to watch it now so it's all good




Movie is essentially a tech demo

:manny:

I HAD to watch it to see how close they stuck to the book (like The Shining.....:snoop:).

I was not disappointed.

Both flicks are dope, but you can't watch 2001 in a 'normal' (modern) state of mind because you HAVE to pay attention to the dialogue more than the visuals.

2010 is a much easier ride and ties-up all the loose ends of 2001.​

Should I force it or give up? Bought it a few years ago because it was supposed to be one of the best looking blu-rays out there. Thoughts and feelings are welcomed.

I feel this way about a lot of "classics". I think it's because the hype deludes you into thinking it's gonna be poppin' from the first frame. You have to go in with a open mind and be ready to not be blown away within five minutes. Sometimes it may even take multiple viewings to see what everyone is seeing. And sometimes, you just won't, and that's OK too.

The prerequisite is to get faded out of your mind then watch it. But I don't do drugs breh so I'm shyt out of luck. Maybe I can get drunk and watch it instead.
you don't do drugs......but you drink alcohol.

I'm just fukkin witchu, alcohol never made me find movies more enjoyable, especially something as cognitive and hypnotic as 2001. Cannabis puts me in a different mindstate when I watch movies, I had tried to watch 2001 sober before and fell asleep like many others, I got high, got some coffee, and my mind was fukking blown. Cannabis increases my experience and enjoyment of films, it's the same thing of listening to music when you're high, it's like the best shyt ever. I was amazed at what Kubrick was able to accomplish with that film, technically and subject matter wise. the shot at the base of the monolith on earth looking up to the moon, then kubrick has a shot later from the monolith on the moon looking up at the earth

the transition of the bone flying through the air into space is incredible. I'm not saying you can't appreciate the same things sober, but it makes it more "mindblowing" to me when I'm stoned.

Didn't even know there was a sequel :dwillhuh:
It's a real deep movie that even until recently I never grasped a hold of the entire meaning.

This is probably the best explanation of the movie I've seen (more so how it ends)


Pretty good. I like Rob Ager's analysis on the film. It looks like he took them off his youtube channel, though.

This is exactly how I experienced the movie for the first time, and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. I almost had a panic attack though because of how profound the movie was to me while i was blazed. I just thought it was insane how Kubrick captured the beginning of mankind and then took it to the utmost future, and the cinematography bruhs...the cinematography...:mjcry:
What about it made you panic?
