I do think Kubrick is a good director, probably the best, but for me 2001 is way overrated.

Quiet Greenie, Kubrick is the best DIRECTOR. I mean, The imagery in the film is fantastic.

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.

I told you to shut up greenie, we do enjoy it!

 

Sort of.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh and I like Blade Runner, Scott pilgrim vs the World and Monty Python and the holy grail  as well... I forgot to add that to my list

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.

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

I don't quite remember, but once I discovered the site, I was hooked. I starting lurking in November of 2010. So technically, I was around for all the kenkraly2007 shenanigans.

Pretty much what ziggy said, but I think I found it when looking up Ady's Empire Revisited. Although I joined because I wanted to be a part of Frinks Ridiculous edit.

HOLY CARP!

It's Ric Olie!!!


Can I have your autograph Ric????? I'm your biggest fan!

What's funny to me is that gp is so new around here that he probably doesn't know The History of Ric.
Is Ric an alternate account for someone?
No! Obviously its his own account.

 

So when you look at his account, you'll be looking at his account??
