That's okay. We took some young folks to see "2001" during it's "star-child poster" re-release in the early 70s---- and, despite the "colorful" goodies we ingested at the time, they were bored to death! About three years later "Star Wars" was born. Joe B in NOLA

It's too bad my buddy (Sean) can't see how intellectually stimulating 2001 is (as are the rest of Kubrick's films - each one is a gem). But to each his own, so I'm not going to mention my buddy's name (it's Sean), but I just wanted you folks to know there actually is someone in our group that doesn't get this film. Hey Sean.. I mean, Hey Buddy, should I get you a copy of the Last Airbender for Christmas??
