I know! It's terrible, isn't it? Such a crying shame that's it's mostly unknown. Are there ghosts or is the governess mentally unstable?

(In no order)
Indy Movies (kinda obvious)
The Rocketeer
Hellboy
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
King Kong 1933
King Kong 2005 (But I hate the 70s one)
Star Wars movies
Batman Begins
The 5th Element
Casino Royale

There's more but I can't think of any right now...

Oh hush, the mentally handicapped child inside of me loves it. The directors cut actually isn't that bad. And besides, it's not like I own the special edtion DVD, both the sountracks and movie poster. That would be crrrazy.

2001's one of those movies I watched as a kid, didn't understand and therefore did not like. I have to give it another go one of these days.

Little bit of both, I always thought. The Turn of the Screw is one of my favortie stories, and this was the best adaptation of it I've ever seen. Kerr's great.

Yes, and YES. I can't believe I forgot those two.

Make 2001 priority. It's all kinds of love.





And John Waters is a god among men. The Apostle of Filth; the first cumming of our savior.


My professor works for him. I once got kicked out of a bar hoping to meet John. My professor snuck me in... damn being 19. Fortunately John wasn't there anyway so no great loss.

Blatantly untrue. Stretch your mind every once and awhile. All films aren't like Transformers.

...and thank god for that.

The final scene and the meaning of the monolith are left to the viewer's interpretation and I've decided to leave it at that. Oh and I haven't seen Transformers. About your opinion, am I deaf or were you trying to develop a sense of humor?

The novel certainly makes it explicitly clear what the meaning of the monolith is.


That said, there's not too many interpretations left open to the viewer. A little deductive reasoning makes its purpose clear enough, I think.
