Funny how people say if you have to read the book a movie is based on in order to understand it, the moviemaker has failed. Yet Kubrick gets a free pass.

Yeah - I wouldn't say I'd give Kubrick deserves a free pass on that one. The concepts at the end he was trying to portray were possibly beyond what was possible or practical in film at that time, but surely a little more explanation could have been subtly provided.
Pity the series went downhill from there.

The film and book were based on the short story "The Sentinel" by Clarke written in 1948. Read that first.

I saw a TV program on this a few weeks ago and was astonished at what can be done with genetic engineering.
When they say things like "the virus has been reprogrammed to attack cancer cells", I hear only "magic magic magic..." like Roger mentioned.
I hope this becomes a reality, and may be they should reprogram that virus to kill other baddies including its own kind (HIV) too.

Just elephanting wow. Had a tear in my eye at the end of that.

Damn printers. Real men draw everything using pen and paper. It took me a while to learn, but now I can redraw a screenshot on paper for 30 seconds. In color. Even if it’s from a pr0n site.

Pen and paper - drawing in yellow snow takes a lot longer!

Only a trolley - all my red buckets disappeared under mysterious circumstances a few weeks ago...
