"2001: A Space Odyssey" - Great Moments in Cinema
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) is a science fiction novel by Arthur C. Clarke which was developed concurrently with Stanley Kubrick's film version. The story is based in part on various short stories by Clarke, most notably "The Sentinel" (1951). Kubrick collaborated with Clarke, and together they first concurrently produced the novel version that was released after the film.
The HAL 9000 computer symbolizes the progress of technology. It represents many apprehensions about technology. First, HAL is an artificial intelligence – it can mimic all of the thought processes of the human brain with greater speed and reliability. Second, its inner workings are not completely understood – even by the people who created it. HAL is an extraordinarily potent technology that cannot be fully controlled. When HAL begins to deviate from the way in which it has been programmed, this is an illustration of the apprehension many people held that our own technological development will someday come back to haunt us in surprising and unanticipated ways.
Obviously one of my favorite movies.
Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do
I'm half crazy all for the love of you
It won't be a stylish marriage
I can't afford a carriage
But you'll look sweet upon the seat
Of a bicycle built for two
Are you watching my on MySpace?? Saw III Trailer ...
I think this will suck enourmously, but there will be a SAW 4, just like there were a billion of Nightmare on Elm Streets, Jason and Halloween movies.
The first Saw was great because it was a new dynamic on the horror re-hash, while it was really good in terms of acting or pacing I felt it failed, enjoyable but not oscar worthy. Saw 2, just took a leap backwards, it used to make sense at least a bit before now it's just wonky M. Night type of clap trap.
All these new movies are garbage, either they rip off a concept from the East (Grudge, Ring and so many others) or just add tits and ridiculous scenes of violence - which was Hostel, which I believe was the worst movie I had ever sat through in the cinema. The actors looked like they just walked out of college frat party. Europe in American films never looks remotely realistic (REMOTELY), everyone in the states must think Amersterdam is like Guccione's Caligola 24/7. I can't believe Quetin Taratino, Robert Rodriguez and others jizzed over Eli Roth's slime on the screen, surely proof that being cool has an age limit too. I liked Cabin Fever, at least it was far more entertianing. Hostel was just shock and awe, which is what you rely on when you are technically incapable of creating fear in a grain of sand, or rather a frame of film.
My scariest movie ever? Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, I hate rewatching that movie, which almost always happens at one point or another at a friend's house. Kubrick created tension and fear using 3 cast members, 2 creepy looking girls and one flood scene. Yet I still remember everything from that movie.
Revisiting Media (Sift Talk Post)
One director that surpises me year after year with his classics and back catalogue is Stanley Kubrick. I watched 2001 when I was young and thought it was okay, I watched it when I was a teenager and I thought it was awesome, I watched it as an adult and it just blew my mind. The films he created are so timeless in their essence. Like Dr Strangelove. Like 2001. Like Paths of Glory.
The Shining - Original Theatrical Trailer (1:29)
This is the original theatrical teaser/trailer for Stanley Kubrick's 1980 film "The Shining." One of the great all-time trailers, they just don't get any better than this.
german punkrock Die Toten Hosen - "Hier kommt Alex" (1980s)
it's about Alex from "A Clockwork Orange" by Stanley Kubrick
2001 : A Space Odyssey ending, synchronized with Echoes by Pink Floyd
I looked for this video after seeing this one : http://www.videosift.com/story.php?id=6076
But instead of getting some random lyp synch from time to time like the first one, this one is really surprising. It seems like the editing really follows the music. The legend tales that the editor of the movie made the end by following both the orders of the director Stanley Kubrick and the Pink Floyd's music...
