I don't know whether to out this in movie thread or what, but hey that's what the mods are for, right? Anyway...you ever hear about certain movies that are deemed by the critics and general population as classics, but you've never actually gotten around to seeing them; however when upon seeing the flick, you're like, "This sh*t is a$$, straight garbage, and I wasted time out of my life that I will never get back." Well, your boy had this experience the other day when he saw 2001: A Space Odyssey
I thought this sh*t was going to be about HAL malfunctioning or be coming sentient, taking over the space station and the astronauts having to figure out a way of beating HAL or not beating HAL and dying. Was I ever wrong. First the screen is black as for like two minutes. I knew nothing was wrong with the DVD because I could see the time elapsing with that annoying a$$ hum. Finally, the movie comes on (epic as f*ck,) with that shot of moon, the earth, and the sun while of course that all familiar hella tight theme music is playing.
The sh*t goes to the days of prehistoric man and shows some pre-ass "Fred Flintstone," cats doing some pre "Fred Flintstone," sh*t. They get into some beef with another group of man-ape dudes over a watering hole. One of the pre-ass "Fred Flintstone," man-apes discovers that with a bone he can smash sh*t and puts the rest of his potnas up on game, now pre-ass "Fred Flintstone" primals are eating meat and when they get into with the other of primal muthaf*ckas again, (I'm assuming it's the alpha male of the group,) kills one of the other group with the bone. Then there was that weird a$$ black monolith and it appears throughout the film.
I'm all for realism for in films, but Kubrick took this sh*t in a literally sense. Taking FIVE F*CKING MINUTES TO SHOW THE SPACE SHIP DOCK WITH THE SPACE STATION! WITH NO F*CKING DIALOGUE! REALLY? And this happens several times in the film where there's no f*cking dialogue. I can understand if the something interesting was going on, (like in Silence of the Lambs where Claresse was in dude's house in the dark, that was interesting,) but there would be no dialogue and the astronauts were doing some hella mundane sh*t, especially concerning the deactivation of HAL, that was tedious, anti-climatic sh*t.
And what what up with that sh*t at the end when potna was at his older self's crib on Jupiter? Where the f*ck did that sh*t come from? Dude is progressively getting older, then he ends up as "The Star Child."
What the f*k? Clearly, this movie was made for muthaf*ckas who are into the art of film making and the Kubrick stans who hyped this sh*t to death. Rex is first to admit that he's not into abstract, avant garde, or surreal sh*t; however, to proclaim 2001: A Space Odyssey the greatest sci-fi movie of all time, FOH. Hell, 2001 isn't Rex's opinion that 2001 isn't even Kubrick best film, Full Metal Jacket, and Eyes Wide Shut are better.
