Greetings!
It's incredible to think that Stanley Kubrick's
'2001: A Space Odyssey' was filmed in
1967/8 but as remarkable of an achievement
that this film was, I have always found
"Space Odyssey" to be quite unwatchable.
Regardless of the conspiracy theories swirling
around Kubrick's alleged involvement in "producing"
the films of NASA's later Lunar Landings - and
the fact that the year 2001 came and went -
and as far as is officially known, humans did not
physically travel into the far fringes of the Galaxy
and instead, all we got was this lousy 9/11 T-Shirt...
One more beef: Commercial airplanes still fly with
virtually the same technology, with the same
LONG flight times as they did, back in 1968...
Putting all of that aside, I find that the incredible
futuristic sets and photography of Kubrick's
groundbreaking film are made much more entertaining
(and oddly humorous) for me, when cut to German
synthpop musician, Peter Schilling's 1983 hit single,
"Major Tom."
Enjoy!
