2001: A Space Odyssey

[wave rider]

Watched 2001 this evening since I goes off Netflix' streaming rotation tomorrow.

What a movie! It still stands up over time, 48 years later. And the Netflix HD stream was delicious, clearest I have seen the movie in a home setting ever.

Thanks to those folks who gave the warning, very enjoyable evening!

This is one of those movies that you've got to see in a movie theater.

I saw it when it first came out, back in the day before the multiplex cinema, at a restored vintage cinema in Washington D.C. that only had one huge screen, and a killer sound system.

Definitely enjoyed it in the theater too!

Driving around LA a few weeks ago, and saw a shiny new black Tesla w/ the new retro black and yellow CA personalized license plate "2001 ODC", and wondered if it was one of Stan's relatives...

35mm or better yet, 70mm on a true wide screen.

amazing what they did with so little technology.

Which theater? MacArthur Blvd or Connecticut Ave?

Yeah, the movie that Kubrick couldn't figure out how to end.

The first movie I ever went to as a kid. Cinerama Theatre, downtown (5th Avenue?) Seattle.

.....might be due to reduced dialogue in film.....first 25 minutes has none.......scenes with music......or scenes with silence..........
