I always suspected listening to to much Boris did something in your brain.

Watched this for the first time while I was home sick today:


2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

A hell of a lot more abstract and trippy than I was expecting, but I ended up enjoying it. Though the first hour or so was a bit too slow (IMO), it ended up leaving a very positive first impression. I sense that this one needs to be watched a few more times before I can formulate a definite opinion. For now it's a 4/5.

I have to ask, did you understand the ending at all?

I also watched some Kubrick lately with A Clockwork Orange.  It was the second time I've seen it.

Kinda... I think. The fact that the protagonist is showed at four or five different (increasingly older) ages sort of implies that he ends up living in the room for years and years until his death. It seems like the monolith (which appears a few other times throughout the film) takes him away, and he's changed into an embryonic state, thus re-beginning his life?

I could be terribly wrong here... the ending is quite confusing. The HAL part of the story is the only part I fully understood.

I've seen it a couple of times and read the novel (I even wrote a paper on it back when I was a student), too, and, yeah, it's very very veeeeeeeeery slow. It deals with some very interesting themes, to be sure, but it never impressed me to the same degree that it seems to have impressed most people.

Whenever the monolith appears, a new era or phase or whatever in the human evolution is sparked off. The first time it appears, the apes start using tools, and when it appears on the moon, it sparks off human intergalactic traveling (embodied in the expedition to find the source of the monoliths [as far as I remember]) and when it appears floating in space, and everything gets trippy, and Archer appears in the embryonic state this really represents another stage in human evolution and embryonic Archer, or the Star Child, is the next step in the human evolution (so from apes to humans to the Star Child).

Maybe now would be a good time for me to mention the sample from 2001: A Space Odyssey here in "Dark 1.2" by Darkspace and how it's totally fitting to the concept.

Watched There Will Be Blood last night.  Possibly the best movie ending ever.

Basically.  He's just noted for doing a bunch of over-the-top things on stage and getting arrested mid-show.  His mission was to offend everybody, and he pretty much succeeded.

Much better than I expected it to be, to be honest.

Watched this tonight:


Horrible Bosses (2011)

Really solid movie IMO. While fairly predictable, it had an enjoyable plot and plenty of hilarious scenes. 3.5/5
