Another reason why Kubrick is top 5 all time.

and...

- considered culturally significant by the U.S. Library of Congres AND selected for preservation in the National Film Register AND used in textbooks by private and public university film courses across the country.

Kubrick will always be my hero.

how many decades have they been doing it wrong?

and the author said he would have corrected him if he had seen it. when david bowman is reentering the ship, he should be breathing out rather than holding his breath.

But I'm sure Kubrick coulda made a hell of a shot outta that if he tried.

where are you guys getting this "exploding" shit from?

according to NASA, the movie still remains technically accurate.

If you don't try to hold your breath, exposure to space for half a minute or so is unlikely to produce permanent injury. Holding your breath is likely to damage your lungs, something scuba divers have to watch out for when ascending, and you'll have eardrum trouble if your Eustachian tubes are badly plugged up, but theory predicts -- and animal experiments confirm -- that otherwise, exposure to vacuum causes no immediate injury. You do not explode. Your blood does not boil. You do not freeze. You do not instantly lose consciousness.

Various minor problems (sunburn, possibly "the bends", certainly some swelling of skin and underlying tissue) start after ten seconds or so. At some point you lose consciousness from lack of oxygen. Injuries accumulate. After perhaps one or two minutes, you're dying. The limits are not really known.

You do not explode and your blood does not boil because of the containing effect of your skin and circulatory system. You do not instantly freeze because, although the space environment is typically very cold, heat does not transfer away from a body quickly. Loss of consciousness occurs only after the body has depleted the supply of oxygen in the blood. If your skin is exposed to direct sunlight without any protection from its intense ultraviolet radiation, you can get a very bad sunburn.

i think there can be severe damage to your blood vessels pretty quickly too.

just imagine if kubrik were in his prime in this era of special fx technology!!! 2001 could easily be the GOAT movie all time.

all i know is, they better not EVER try to remake this masterpiece with keanu reeves on some shit. i would rip my eyebrows off.

Don't.

uh, yea i saw 2010.. it's meh. i'm speaking specifically about a remake of the ORIGINAL 2001.

That film becomes even more spectacular when you consider the sci-fi made BEFORE it came out. Plan 9 from outer space. I was a teenage werewolf etc etc etc.. That film is the visual definition of paradigm shift. There would be no Star wars, Alien without it.

You know, we could all be reading a book right now.

i think if he was able to do AI before he died, the GOAT argument could be made. kubrick would have made that a masterpiece.

I would argue he doesn't need A.I.

Look at this resume, it's ridiculous. And I'm only counting the ones i've seen.

Eyes Wide Shut (1999)
Full Metal Jacket (1987)
The Shining (1980)
Barry Lyndon (1975)
A Clockwork Orange (1971)
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
Dr. Strangelove (1964)
Lolita (1962)
Spartacus (1960)
Paths of Glory (1957)
The Killing (1956)
Killer's Kiss (1955)

I've heard people argue the Shining is a bad movie, but I would put that in my top 5 horror movies... Sorry.
The weakest movie is Eyes Wide Shut, which I even liked as sort of a stylized porno.

You know, we could all be reading a book right now.

He made masterpieces in more different styles/chambers/genres/whatever you want to call them than any other director, HANDS DOWN.

best sci fi film of all time? Check

best horror film of all time? Check

one of the best comedies of all time? Check

one of the best period pieces ever? Check.

Cmon.

Well, give Kubrick credit for *wanting* realism in the first place and *listening* to Clarke.

But also Clarke really can't be totally forgotten in that.
