And because of that - and the news about the Twilight Zone movie - October is going to be really good.

October 23rd -- 2001: A Space Odyssey Special Edition.

(I already submitted the pre-release info).

I sure hope there are really cool, neat, boss, hip, rad, groovy extras.

When did you submit it? I can't find it by Title to add it to my wishlist.

Neither have I. I think I rented it once but I never watched it...

Sad, I know.

20 seconds before I posted this topic. Hopefully if it meets with "The Glorificus Gerri" it will get approved and show up in tomorrow's update.

And btw, this will be my third disc of this film.

I am almost ashamed to admit this... but I have never seen 2001: A Space Odyssey 

You're serious?

Pete...you gotta see it! It's a true Sci-Fi masterpiece.

If he hasn't seen it after 40 years  he might as well stay away from it., Reason?
Most people who have never seen it and then do,, Don't get it, find the music a rip off of Car and Cellphone commercials, will find special effects dated to todays standards etc etc..

You have to put yourself in a frame of mind that there was no Apollo 11, or Star Wars in 1968 only movies like Barbarella, and Robinson Crusoe On Mars etc. existed..

I have probably seen 2001 over 50 times in 40 years and one week in 1968 I watched this Cinerama film 7 nights in row, but with a different person each night, which made the 'viewing' exciting for me each of those 7 nights.
It was the very first VHS title ( pan and scan/ mono sound and terrible transfer compared to all the other products of this I have also bought over the past 25 years.. Beta/LaserDisc/2 DVD's ), .. Price in 1980?  oh.. about $100 'Used' .    ( but that's another story for another time.)

I must admit... it has my curiosity peaked. I think I will put it in my wishlist... but probably won't buy it till I can find it rather cheap.

I am not too concerned that it will look dated and such as I am just recently getting into classics... and don't seem to have much problem putting myself in the frame of mind of "being in the past".  So hopefully I won't have too much trouble with this one.

I love this movie.
And yet, 45+ million years will pass in 1/24th of a second...

Actually it is 4 million years --but who's counting.., 

The other thing to remember as well is there is not a single word of English dialogue until well into the 25th minute..
