Greeny, 2010 but no 2001? For shame...

A favourite film, for me, would be a film I can sit through without having to fast forward it (That goes for you too, Star Trek: The Motion Picture). And when the ENTIRE plot of 2001 can be summed up in detail in the first few minutes of 2010, it's doing something wrong.

I do think Kubrick is a good director, probably the best, but for me 2001 is way overrated. Plus 2010 focuses more on the characters and the story, something that 2001 did very little.

Plus I don't tend to look at 2001 as a film. A piece of Art, yes. But a film, No.

Oh and please don't tell me I need to go to art school to 'understand' it. I've been to art school and I do understand it, but I still don't enjoy it.

Well..... I like bits of it.
