I'll probably watch it a little later. It would be interesting if they got Gary Lockwood to come back for 3001: The Final Odyssey. I enjoyed the book a lot, but I thought the ending was a tad of a disappointment,

Sure thing Rachael!

It's 2010, the Year We Make Contact! I was curious if there was an actual date mentioned in the film 2010 that the film does take place in 2010. I guess the only mention is Dr. Floyd saying that 9 years ago, the Monolith showed up and everything went wacko! I was just curious if the film...

Look forward to hearing what they come back to you with!

You're welcome! I like the movie too as you can probably tell!

James- I checked out my blu ray of that sequence to which you refer. All I see is a slight jump in the image at the moment he says, "yes". It sort of looks like either a jump cut and some frames are missing, or the video tape it was sourced from had a slight glitch. I say video tape because the...

Mark, you bring up a very good point that I had not realized. As Curnow and Max pass that pod and shine a light in, I always thought how bad the scratches are on the glass window looked when it looked so pristine in 2001. (Bad set construction or the pod got dirty after 9 years!) I had not...

That's great Bill, thanks for the link. It's how I imagined it would be.

Opps! I slipped again! Speaking of the rotating portion of the Discovery set, I imagine Hyams didn't have the budget or time to build that! I re-watched a large portion of 2001 on BD last night. The thing that strikes me about the sphere portion of the Discovery is the scale and how did...

Ah, yes the Apple IIc as a laptop Roy is using on the beach. Quite a advanced computer for 1984. Today he'd be using a Macbook Pro or Air! I never noticed the beer packet until I saw it on the BD, some really fun product placements in the movie. The Omni magazine gag with Clarke and Kubrick...

I watched my BD copy last night. I also took a moment to compare a few scenes from the non anamorphic DVD version. I've seen this film more times then I can count on that DVD and laserdisc before it. I was surprised by how awful the Diamond Jubilee MGM logo looked at the start of the film on...

Count me in too as a fan of this film. Sure, it's unfair to compare it against Kubrick's 2001, I always enjoy it for what it is. I like the dialogue in some places and Syd Mead is one of my favorite designers who was involved in the production design of the ships. Can't wait to see the BD.
