    Yeah, I also caught Most Xtreme Elimination Challenge last night, as well as part of a sci-fi channel production of Babylon 5. I think I'm going to hold out on Battlestar Galactica. . . looks to cheesy even for me.



    Don't get me wrong. . . I found 2001 to have some generally good concepts, it just didn't strike a chord with me.

    I pity the fool who doesn't enjoy a good dose of the A-Team every now and then. . . Just caught an episode earlier today. Gotta hand it to SpikeTV.



    Getting back, I actually appreciate both "art film" and action film. So don't put me in the gun-twirling civil libertarian boat just yet. (I don't own any guns yet). I do have to say, though, that given those links in Sorel's signature I don't think we would ever quite understand each other.







    edit:

    That has to be the only website I've ever seen that mixes video footage that I'd expect to see from the 70 year old cat-lady down the street and a lap around Laguna Seca. Sometime I want to go there with the 7, which should be modified past GT spec by then (working out logistics of renesis transplant). I think Mazda even owns the track. . . maybe they'd be down with it.

    You must not be a cat person.



    Dale, I love the cat videos.

    Bingo. Apparently, unrelated, I'm also not a 2001 person. I guess the stretch was too much. To clarify, there are "cat people" and then there are "dude, like, you are a weirdo cat people." I don't expect you to understand why I don't like 2001.



    So now it seems as though I've rubbed Sorel the wrong way. heh. It was meant to be.

    I love also cats, but i do not see a direct connection with 2001.



    Stanley Kubricks loved cats : see the number of cats in the house of the woman killed by a giant dick ...



    Weather people liked it or not , 2001 entered in the history of cinema, 2010 not. 2001 was a revolution, 2010 is not.That does not mean that 2010 is a bad movie, but he is very different. It's more an attempt to explain 2001 (why HAL sucked, what is the goal of the black monoliths ...) than anything else.

    .




    There is no connection. I thought I made that clear (now three times). Just two areas of differing tastes.

    My cat says that if they'd used a watermelon instead of the monolith, the whole thing would have made MUCH more sense.

    So did the left bank. One once mentioned that was the only thing the left bank directors had in common.



    Which leads us to wonder: can someone understand film and not be a cat person? Evidence indicates no.

    Holy shit. I had NO IDEA there was a SEQUEL of 2001 until just now.



    This is why I love this forum.

    My dad says that I can only watch it if they go on vacation, because he finds 2001 unbearably boring.



    The fact that he finds it boring automatically means that I'll find it fascinating, of course.
