2001: A Space Odyssey - Original Trailer

Hard to believe this movie is 39 years old. It's still regarded as the daddy of SF movies, and though it was eclipsed in publicity terms by the likes of Star Wars, 2001 managed where all others failed. It was taken very seriously as a movie, and not dismissed as a comic book flight of fancy.
When people think of Arthur C Clark they will always think of 2001.

When thinking of Arthur C Clarke the first thing that comes into mind is Telstar - the worlds first telecommuniocations satelite. Great scientist and author.

@ulfanse And a whiz at spelling apparently... ;o)

@ChocolateFrogPrince I agree 100%, but there are those out there whose idea of humour is very clean and non-offensive. I for one can't think of any joke that is "un-offensive"

[ChocolateFrogPrince]

@EmmiB94 A Rabbi, a Vicar and a Priest go into a bar, and the barman says

"What is this? Some kind of joke?"

@esiosan Are you kidding? A remake would be nothing short of a disaster. Michael Bay would get hold of it, dumb it down and the point would be lost.

they should stop remaking everything and write something NEW

@GreatWall1973 I think humans need working economies and a whole heap of changed perspectives and imperatives to carry out such kind of odyssey.

@ChocolateFrogPrince I More think of this film with Kubrick then Clarke.

@EmmiB94 Well sure, but it's not possible to live through tragedy if you cannot find a funny side. Humour, even of the blackest kind, is the only refuge we had.

If I thought seriously about all that's wrong with the world I'd never get out of bed.

@ChocolateFrogPrince At this rate Japan's going to be sprouting Spider Men and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles :P I kid though, both Chernobyl and Japan's double exposure to radiation are tragedies not only scientific but personal.

@Mr007daviols At least we got something like this 01:10

@ChocolateFrogPrince Lumping the world's desires in with those of the three school friends you spend all your time in a dimly lit basement with drooling over pictures of a semi-clad Megan Fox is a bad idea. Most of us grew up.
