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..

Oops. 


And longer yet in the first, unedited version...

And no dialog during the last part.

That's right as well,, When Mission Control gives the last video message.., those words were the last spoken.. How many minuteswould that be to the end??  here's a clue :

Music Pink Floyd meddle ( Echoes ) start CD with first ping as you open on chapter 28 Jupiter & Beyond..

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

Did you search for "Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey"? 

Link to cover art.

Smartass      .

You know I sure would like to know more about this so called TWO disc set..
Digitalbits didn't have anything on this except for the fact that WB is releasing a whole whack of catalogue titles with new NON-snapper cases., As well 2001 is coming up to a 40 year anniversary, next April 12th.., So I'm wondering if this release is to tie in to an HD blue ray release,and  as well as that 2 disc has me bugged. It can't be any thing further than that 11 minutes Arthur C Clark interview featurette that was on the first MGM release,( he never did anything else except for some TV appearances)  but first disc release had a lousy print with tears in the frames and dirt on the film.
( remember the large tear that appeared in the upperleft corner between frames of the Bone falling and the spaceship continuing...) 
The Kubrick release in June of '01 (Warner Bros. now) featuretted a 16 x 9 enhanced anamorphic widescreen as well as much improved video transfer and restoration.,
This second disc must contain the original 139 min version in original 1968 Surround sound .( wow!!), as well the further 20 minutes of cut materials mostly of the Mind Trip thru space that was cut for audience time. might be added as bonus feature but not included in film irself.
But what about the print?
apart from HDDTV and BRay what will the 40th anniversary print look like???????

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

Saw it in the theater back when, while taking a ride on a zeppelin doobie.  Me and my girlfriend were trippin' for days afterwards!

HAL stands for "Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer," "heuristic" and "algorithmic" being the two primary processes of learning.

According to Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke, the IBM connection (where the three letters in HAL happen to be exactly 1 letter before each letter in IBM in the alphabet) was strictly a coincidence.

I don't believe in coincidence.
