Offworlder1 07/05/19 9:15:09 PM #41:	I only watch a very small bit of 2001 A Space Odyssey and like Star Trek The Motion picture it is a very slow movie and very boring from what I saw. World building is important to a story but it can be done in interesting ways like LOTR where you get plenty of "setting the stage" but not boring as fuck bullshit that needs to "move faster". Even slow building movies like Alien knew how to "keep it moving" while establishing who is who and what the world is like before "shit goes wrong". --- "Always two there are, a master and an apprentice" 3DS FC: 1564 - 7512 - 1815 <cite>Offworlder1 posted [p:924298229] in Is the God...

I'm sorry that Stanley Kubrick thought getting to the shooty bangbang action that has no meaning or importance should take more than five seconds. I'll grant you the first scene had some plot point, but the second? Spoilers: First one was intended to show that apes that get near the black bar can jump start their thinking power by developing weapons. Second one built what...? That space travel is so mundane and normal that the passenger is sleeping, yet the flight attendant can't even freakin' walk normally? it's showing that even if we've advanced here on earth we're still infants in space, hence eating food likening baby food, having to learn to walk with zero gravity, etc. <cite>bobbaaay posted [p:924299550] in Is the God...
