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?

And they make a biiIIIIIiiggggg deal about moving the portable airport tunnel thingy over to the airplane, to show that THIS is the future! No more having to climb stairs, people!
There's a lot of that in the movie, including that one extended bit about what a fax machine is.

I realized the key in your last post though as to why you would like Steve McQueen; I mean he barely says anything in the vast majority of his movies. Everyone wins.
