I have done this several times. It's great, because it combines my favorite movie AND my favorite song (excluding classical pieces).

LOL Oh God... Chaltab, the worse part is, I'm not sure if you are serious or not!

While 2001 might be difficult to comprehend, and some might not like it at all, I don't see it as boring or slow-paced. It's not that long, and perhaps the only true slow parts are the landing on the moon and Dave changing the antenna equipament on space. I never sensed it as slow or boring, and it's not that hard to watch it - hell, I've seen it dozens of times... Also, be aware that Kubrick has cut a lot of footage after the premiere (about 20 minutes) which are now sadly lost, to make the film run faster - I'd sell my SOUL to see those lost trims again!
