TOYNBEE IDEA / IN KubricK's 2001 / RESURRECT DEAD / ON PLANET JUPiTER.

"Well done lads, you've spent an inordinate amount of time looking into these tiles and you've found an old recluse with mental issues who doesn't want to talk to you. Well done indeed." - my housemate after watching the doc with me.

Although realistically, once you ruled out the j3wi$h media conspirators, it was always gonna be a lonely guy with mental issues.

It's like how knowing how the magic trick is done makes the trick way less interesting.

your housemate sounds like a jerk

The one thing the filmmakers didn't account for was that the Toynbee guy might be a just-out-of-reach paranoid schizophrenic and how dare he screw up their big Sundance plans. I wish they had made a shorter film using just the animation style they had - not everything has to be feature length.

On the other hand, I did find a video on how to make the tiles...

the certainly accounted for this. they mention the possibility (and even extreme likelihood) quite often. not showing the dude doesn't "screw up" anything - the movie isn't about that.

i've looked at every known location in baltimore and every trace of them is gone, predictably. they're probably all gone at this point. maybe some in philly?

Saw one at 20th and Chestnut in Philly tonight

<3 i had hope 4 philly

Damn, I was in Philly last summer, but I'd forgotten about this whole thing... Would've loved to seen one of those tiles in real life.

How have I never heard of these things until now?!
