Me when 2001: A Space Odyssey
Oh. Oh, have I got a story.
When Star Wars came out, I was 11. It was making a lot of noise, and my mom kept trying to convince me to go see it, but we'd driven by the theater and I was convinced - convinced - that it would be boring, and refused. Of course I did end up going, and spent the summer in the theater; this was before they kicked you out and made you buy tickets for each showing. I ended up seeing it 16 times in the theater, that summer.
Anyway, fast forward a couple dozen years and I'm watching an 2001, and I notice that it was originally released and advertised as being in "stereophonic sound." Checked with mom, and she confirmed that they had taken me to see 2001 in the theater at some point, and I realized that I must have recognized the "In Stereophonic Sound!" on the Star Wars billboard and made the association that that meant "boring."
I fucking hate Kubrick. Every movie feels cold and soulless, and they move slower than a snail on lean.
They’re definitely slow burns that challenge you.
Glad to know I'm not the only one who walks away from a Kubrick movie feeling like they just had a conversation with the most boring person on the planet.
Me trying to explain why I found 2001: A Space Odyssey an excruciating an confusing snoozefest without a single interesting point... while also insisting that Barry Lindon is one of the greatest films ever made : I SWEAR MY OPINION MAKES SENSE
2001 was genuinely terrible, absolutely nothing was explained during the move. If I hadn't read the book beforehand, I'd have had no idea what was going on from roughly half way onwards.
The last 20 minutes were beyond stupid and poorly implemented making the whole thing just terrible.
Yup. Visually stunning, but definitely not entertaining
