Let me just tell you, I can now check mark another movie from my cinematic bucket list as I went and watched Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey in the theater Wednesday night. It was exhilarating to say the least. It really was a movie that must be seen in the theater to totally understand how amazing an experience it can be. I plan to set up a top ten of my favorite moments in the theater from the film tomorrow. The scenes on the moon and the alignment of the planets once Dave reaches Jupiter as the monolith travels in place, both just blew me away. Oh, and the Stargate; oh my goodness how rewarding it was. It was a good time to be had. I hadn't realized until the viewing just how much was shot (particularly when Hal "started to malfunction") without music; because the film gained a rep for its use of music, I was equally impressed with how beneficial certain scenes were in quiet with just the sound of breathing. Just awesome.
