Nope. Been all over it. Nothing looks the same

No comment. But nope on that one too.

Uh... Haven't been there... Could be!

Stanley Kubrik, the famous director of 2001, has often been referred to as the genius who has (allegedly!) faked the moon landings on a remote spot in the London suburbs.
And here's my challenge: if he was so apt and so good in faking the moon landing and if it's so easy to fake low gravity by slow-motion pictures then why doesn't the scene where Dr. Heywood Floyd walks down the trench to the monolith looks more convincing?
Perhaps 2001 was the government-funded test run to gain audience reaction around the globe, just to see if it was believable, if they could pull it off.

Good grief! What am I saying? (In Jar-Jar talk, "Wassa me is saying?") Next thing you know, you'll be reading the above gunk from some woo-woo site...

By the way - I like the movie, too. It's a little slow at times... I preferred 2010.
