1. Why didn't he just say "*Please* open the pod bay doors HAL"?
2. Potato quality with artifacts - well done!
3. Seems. Alright! elderly juvenile What's your opinion about it !!!
4. There is only ONE thing stopping this film from being no.1 on all the "best of all time" lists. The people that love this film worship it (including me) & the people that hate it only hate it because they are naive & impatient. If everyone had patience in this world & people ACTUALLY paid attention to the whole film without falling asleep? It would be EVERYONES Greatest film ever made. The true monilith of cinema.
   
   No words can describe how masterful this film is. It's more than just a film, it's somthing else entirely. To me, the TRUE meaning of the words "masterpiece" & "experience" is - "2001: A Space Odyssey".
   
   There's more deep meaning and hidden messages in this film than all of Chris Nolan's films combined.
   
   To explain to the Naive and impatient folk. there IS a reason for the 5 minite scenes of (so-called) "nothing".
   We spend 10 minutes looking at apes in plain desert, showing us how we developed human behavour for the first time.
   THEN....all of a sudden, we're seeing a spaceship & spacestation. Without the 5 minute scenes, The film wouldn't be able to make us appreciate the technology we've managed to create since the "dawn of man". Think of those scenes as a 'celebration' of tenchnology & space travel.
   All those 5 minute scenes of "nothing" are one of the most important aspects of the film.
   
   There is even a reason as to why the film plays 5 minutes of music before the film starts.
   The song 'requiem' plays whenever a monolith appears on-screen. Stanley uses 'Requiem' to not only create a chilling mood but also give the monolith a voice. 'Requiem' is the monolith's voice speaking to whoever it is facing. By having the music play over the black screen at the beginning of the film Kubrick is actually showing us the first monolith. Doesn’t the black screen go on for a little too long? That was done intentionally by Kubrick. This is the monolith speaking to the audience themselves which suggest that we're about to witness a film so grand and so magnificent that it will open up our eyes to things we've never even thought possible.
5. This is how I pictured Ultron, but as a mobile robot
6. Open the damn door Hal!  Love this scene.
7. This was parodied in Dexter's Lab
8. This scene wall always be scarier than any slasher with a knife or monster bearing his claws.
9. Never leave your ship without your goddamn space helmet!
10. To me, Hal's voice sounds so chill.
11. stop, Dave.
12. 0:58 Open the Pod Bay Doors, Hal
13. HAL is a fucking boss
14. when man replaces a doorknob with a computer, he deserves extinction at the hands of the robot apocalypse
15. And yet today's auto manufacturers give the compute control over the door locks. Have we learned NOTHING?!
16. This part frightened me more than any horror film ever has.
17. Hal has the voice cadence of Mr Rogers from the old 70s to 90s kids show. If you just gave Hal a bit of a southern twang you'd have Mr Rogers to a t.
18. sounds like Brainiac from Superman
19. Do you all even get who HAL is? HAL is the name taken AFTER IBM or the corporation known as International Business Machines. Think I am bullshitting?....Take the name HAL and take the letter after it in the alphabet. AFTER "H" you have the letter "I"! AFTER "A" you have the letter "B"! AFTER "L" you have the letter "M". HAL=IBM! Damn people this is Stanley Kubrick! Most of you probably don't get the entire film! So many people have eyes, but don't see! All of his films is a MASTERPIECE and you have to look at the Metaphysics at play! Especially Clockwork Orange, Full Metal Jacket, and Eyes Wide Shut.   
20. 'Without your space helmet Dave, you're going to find that rather difficult'. David Bowman please apply water to the burned area.
