2001: A Space Odyssey

September 9, 2008

I saw this film for the first time at the Arclight theatre down in Hollywood. Timmy and I went down to Hollywood so we could be part of the first hundred people there. They were giving out the movie in blue ray to the first hundred. We made it there and got a red, wrist paper to verify we were indeed part of the first hundred people.

After that, Timmy and I grabbed lunch at Jack in the box which leads to a story I’ll share in a different blog.

Now, for the movie.

The movie was WAY ahead of it’s time as far as cinematography is concerned. WOW! This movie was made the year before the Russians sent Sputneck in space, and 7 years before Star Wars was made. (I might be off a little but you get the picture)

Watching it on the big screen was a cool experience.

I will say this though; When it ended, I had no idea what the hell happened. I was so confused. Timmy explained a little of it to me but “oh man!”

Timmy and I walked out of that movie celebrating the free blue ray copy of the movie, despite the fact that neither of us have a blue ray player.
