You know, Quade, I never thought along those lines about AI before.
Dayum, now I'm off in my own little word, pondering the depths of life itself.
Actually, I never really realized the Pinocchio links until now.
Wow, deep.

Computer geek trivia from 2001.
How did HAL get his name?
It is one letter off. H->I, A->B, L->M
Coincidence? I think not.
It was tough admitting that I knew that.

QuoteDayum, now I'm off in my own little word, pondering the depths of life itself.
Actually, I think you get the right drift of the film itself, RevJim. It caused me to ponder life itself for days after seeing it.
Haven't we all longed deeply for something so precious in our own lives? An unanswered quest, a deep desire, a ache so broad and deep to almost cause us pain?

In all actuality, I'm willing to bet "yes". I know I have/do.
Enter skydiving. It may not be exactly what I was looking for, but it sure helps to fill a void!

QuoteTo get really anal, Chris... "my God, it's full of stars" is only in the book version of 2001, not the movie.
Correct. Read up on the production - you'll see that the book and the film were written at the same time, and story ideas / film ideas went back and forth between Kubrick and Clarke. An amazing collaboration!
QuoteFrom what i understand, Kubrick had the sets to 2001 destroyed so that a sequel could never be made....
Kubrick had all the sets and especially the miniatures (and all the tech drawings and specs) destroyed so that they couldn't be recycled and used by MGM (or whoever else bought them) in some other project wholly unrelated to 2001.
Don't forget, set and prop recycling was (and is!) rampant in show biz, but you don't really notice it so much with everyday things (contemporary or Western stuff, etc.), but it stands out like a sore thumb if it's retread SF - think of all the times you saw that cheapskate Irwin Allen re-use set dressings and props in his shows!
Kubrick didn't want that to happen to 2001.

QuoteI can only imagine that our Arthur is actually sitting in his underoos with nothing else on but that helmet setting the lights up 'just so' so that he can look supercoolio in his new icon.

QuoteMy only negative comment is that AI shows the continuing infatuation that Spielberg has for Pinocchio as so much of the story line was lifted right out of it. Which, I guess, only points out how much cross-over there can be between genres.
It also goes to show that from Ancient Greece onward, there really aren't that many stories to tell in theater, just different ways to tell them.

It was a coincidence, according to Clarke, but it doesn't look like it, considering the prominent placement of "IBM" throughout the picture.

More interesting was the prominent display of "ATM" and "COM" on the monitors. Now, this film was made in 1968, were the ATM machines at our banks and the internet .com thought of by this year (or at least their names here)?

When I see those even today I think of async transfer mode and communication port.

To be fair, much of the stuff in his older books has come to pass. He predicted a future that more or less arrived, and is writing the same sort of stuff - it's just that his setting has caught up with him.
"You know, I could write a book. And this book would
be thick enough to stun an ox. Cause I can see the
future and it's a place - about 70 miles east of
here. Where it's lighter. Linger on over here.
Got the time?."
