[QUOTE]Originally posted by Woodside Kid: [QB] As for 2001 being tired and boring, well, all I can say is "you had to be there." I had the good fortune to see the film on its initial theatrical run in 68 (do the math; depressing, huh?), and it truly was like nothing I'd ever seen before. It also set the special effects bar way beyond the reach of most filmmakers, at least till George Lucas came along. If you want a comparison, watch 2001, and then watch "Marooned", the film that won the Oscar for best visual effects the [i]next[/i] year. Yes, I know the film is long and ambiguous, and Hal is more human than anyone else in the film, but back in those days (the days of Godzilla movies and bad Roger Corman films), a science fiction film with [i]any[/i] intelligent content was a rare treat.
