In theater viewings, I always find the StarChild shot tremendously moving. As I do Nicole Kidman's "Fuck" (his second-most optimistic ending).

the only good part is the opening credits set to randy newman's "burn on."

Any opinions on the discarded Alex North score that Kubrick dumped for the Strausses? I know it came out.

Yes! But, it's packed away along with 2000 other CDs (DYS?) awaiting this mythical house move.

That's kinda the point (or one of them) -- the characters are all caught up in being concerned with their phones and their zero-g toilets and their Hilton lounge meetings and their turkey sandwiches that they can't be bothered to spare a moment to be amazed by the fact that they LIVE IN OUTER SPACE. None of the 21st-century humans in the movie have learned yet to look beyond their mundane tools and machines to something transcendent, and when they do find something amazing -- the Tycho monolith -- they line up to take touristy pictures in front of it.

But not ethically, or metaphysically.
x-post I always liked that Tarkovsky moved the material w/Berton up front rather than revealing it in the middle.

xpost- yeah i've never really known the whole chronology, tho i think he explains it in the introduction. but the thing is, if the shooting was finished, he prolly would've written them as going to jupiter instead, but what do i know?
HAL is very well done. In the book it's mentioned that he's neural-net-based,which was a very radical thing to say in the late 60s, but dead-on.
well clarke was pretty hot on anticipating new technologies.

sergei eisenstein on 'paris, texas' and ingmar bergman on 'beverley hills cop' would have made '83-'84 a different time.
the reason why i used the two examples i did(even if i did overstate the "different time" bit) was not to grab two random examples out of the air, but that Jodorowsky and Lynch where the original directors of those two flicks. there was even plenty of design work that went into Dune with Jodorowsky at the helm(as mentioned upthread). And that both versions differently wildly from their initial planning(Ewoks were added, Dali was removed, etc).
Of course, Jodorowsky probably wouldn't have had the wizard of oz references or jack nance in the final version, etc
in terms of just grabbing wildly different directors and inappropiate film choices: i'd pay good money for-Roman Polanski's "Disorderlies" -John Woo's "Out of Africa"(or even "The Natural")
now, in regards to the current convo, what was the name of the phone company used in 2001? was it Bell?
