i’ve been a fan of his for 25 years plus – 2001 was such a great story. heard on the news yesterday that his book “childhoods end” was even better. going to have to pick that up now.

sad to lose someone i admired, but at 90 it sounds like he lived a rich, full life. i hope i’m so lucky!

The first movie I was ever allowed to watch alone at the movie
theater was 2001 A Space Odessey. Phoenix AZ in 1972. Had
to go alone because no one I was friends with at the time nor
my parents thought it was worth seeing.

I came from a disfuctional family. 😆

If You ever get a chance to see it on a big screen….do so.

We just watched “2010” again last week. I liked that a lot more than “2001”. Roy Scheider, John Lithgow… great cast. Highly recommended! I was pleasantly surprised at how well the movie aged.

Amen! Poor HAL… 😯 I remember studying the film in film class as an English major in ’73 or so… Kubrick, what a director! 2001 and Dr. Strangelove! Yeeeeeha!
