For Keir to chose (and remember) THAT line, just cracked me up and made my day. Hilarious! What's cooler than seeing your old hero is still going strong?
I had the privilege of meeting these Gentlemen here at Sci-Fi '10 here in Tulsa. True pros, very approachable. I was amazed how down-to-earth these legends were. Look forward to next years convention.
these are two top guys...i met them at a convention a couple of years ago,and they couldnt have been nicer,a great pleasure to meet them........and especially as gary lockwood knew elvis! lol
Dullea and Lockwood provide a refreshing perspective on making "2001," but Keir's comment about Kubrick, that, "you knew you were in the presence of genius" is telling. Arthur C. Clarke once said that Kubrick was, "...the most intelligent person I ever met." 2001 remains the best sci-fi, and possibly the best film of all time.
What concerns me is that what Mr. Dullea regarded as gobbledegook to be memorized by rote because he didn't understand it? I understood every word of it and what it meant. Even as a thirteen-year-old in 1968, I understood he was reporting a possible failure in a vital component at a distance too great for conversation due to light-speed limitation.
I used to be proud to have had that kind of knowledge at that age. Now it's seen as a symptom of ADHD or Asperger's, not as being intelligent.
When Keir's character in Starlost was pulling the memory modules from the computer, i was just itching for him to make some sort of déjà vu remark. The scene was a painfully obvious ripoff to begin with, but for him to be doing it, had me in stitches.
I think '2001' (or it's sequel) inspired me in astronomy, in that I felt a facination towards planet Jupiter.
It's one of the reasons I like both films; they're set in our own solar system, and portray them rather realistically (given what we knew at the respective times).
2001 is in my top favorite movies. It's fitting, really--no one else in my circle of friends has the patience to sit all the way through it. The pace is too slow for them.
Well if you are brave enough to read 3001 you will find out what happened to Frank.
It's a turd of a book to wade through but not as pointless as 2061and he does succeed in painting a future where mankind has finally banished the virus of religion.
I find it appropiate that one of the stars of the greatest sci-fi movie should star in the (aired) pilot of one of the greatest sci-fi television series.
I wonder if he eats in a Tuxedo often...

I can't believe, after 41 years, he still remembered that whole line. That's fantastic.
I'm so jealous of everyone who's met them. If I had the opportunity, I think I would just die.

It is great to see them both doing well. They played truly remarkable roles in 2001...the most epic sci-fi movie in film history, bar none.

This has been flagged as spam show
I have a suggestion for uTube to help prevent vote botting.
In order to rate a vid have one of those warpped password thingees popup, they are not readable by computer, so a human actually has to decifer it.
Regular users are inconvenced very little, but, vote botes are stopped dead in there tracks...
This doesn't help with false flagging etc., but, its a start...
I'm posting this to all accounts I sub to feel free to copy to your subs if you think its a good idea...

Don't go into the movie expecting a Star Wars type of movie. The Movie is very slow paced and the ending is very ambiguous.

Was referring to his role in Star Trek, but I did read that Frank's fate is discussed further in 3001.
For a better book about HUMAN transcendence by Arthur Clarke, maybe Childhood's End?
