The reason I joined Movie Forum is because I recently watched 2001:A Space Odyssey when it was on TCM two days ago. I have seen this movie many times but not recently, till now.I am a movie buff,what i mean by buff is that I try to see ever new movie that comes out, no matter what it is.(Does not mean I like them all but I give them a chance)So anyways, has any ever googled the explanation or meaning of 2001? This how I came across this lovely website which cleared up any loose ends for me.There is some crazy stuff people have written tying this movie to Satan,Egyptians,Jews,IBM and so on and so on......What do you guys think? Thank you for taking the time to read this and I am excited to member of this website.
