Yes, it’s sacralige, but has anyone ever done and edit of 2001?

It would be interesting to some re-editing, cut down the “long” scenes and maybe play with the sound to make the film tighter and more straighforward (perhaps giving it a feel more in line with 2010).

Don’t get me wrong, 2001 is a masterpiece and whomever fan edits it may end up going straight to movie hell, but it IS a prime candidate; almost anyone who discusses the film, no matter how much they love it, admits it’s almost impossible to sit through more than once since it’s so long and drawn at at times.

Sounds like a fan edit project to me!
