I've been considering doing a mild edit of 2010 that brings it a bit more in line with 2001 - that is, get rid of any sound in space, slow down the pacing a little bit, maybe remove some of the political bullshit (which wasn't in the novel, IIRC), and get rid of a lot of shots that just scream "EIGHTIES!"

That would be cool. I thought about making a version that at least fixed the awful compositing. Kind of a shame that 2001, a movie 16 years older looks better. Of course it's reputation gave it the better transfer and restoration. I just can't do something like that with my computer. If you do, make an edit, I would love to see it.
