This is my favorite movie ever! to qoute Gonzo1257, "People who complain about this film merely don't get it." Little known fact- the man who invested his millions is this movie didn't understand the movie and stood up and had a heart attack at the end. 5 Stars!

or was his name Moonwatcher, I can't remember.

Hmm, I don't remember that. I'll have to watch it again or see if I can find it in the book. Another thing I've noticed is that both Stargazer and Bowman have the same characteristics. They can be characterized as Nietzche's Ubermensche (or it's potential)...or even Timothy Leary's Futant...able to push the envelope through natural selections peak...discovering "the good trick" (Dennett) before the others. For example, using the bone as a tool.

"It's been years since I've seen this movie, but the only watering hole that I know of was with the apes." Hint: "would you like a drink, Doctor?" (Smyslov)

Yea, you won't find filler in any of Kubrick's films, especially this one. It's been years since I've seen this movie, but the only watering hole that I know of was with the apes. It may be that it's just another way they were trying to point out that "man" is still in it's infancy...like eating baby food through a straw or having to re-learn how to walk in space...man being like a fish out of water.

The viewer must watch EVERYTHING in this film. Dialogue, props, gestures, setting ... Watch the use of food/drink throughout the film. Keep in mind the 'watering hole' in the space station ... The film is a kind of litmus test.
