Nice pickup bro! Didn't notice that at all
What?
What's that from, OP?
What is this? The deathstar and mass effects citidel?

ever heard of autism?
>>144561758>hurr hur i 'deserve' thisWhat's the bottom imge? James Bond film?
The imagery is common enough that this is not any sort of realization/discovery but more of a "look what I found" type of thing. I highly doubt they are making allusions to anything with that shot from a particular scene.

>they never saw 2001
I haven't even seen 2001 A Space Odyssey and I knew that's where the bottom image is from.
>>144562312>/v/ is the place for those who doesn't touched the monolithApparently you "doesn't touched the monolith" as well. If you are going to call someone stupid, Don't look like a bigger dumbass.
wow so mass effect has similarities with star wars OH NO MY WORLD IS ENDING !!!

That's nice OP.Welcome to the universe, where everythig is just a repetition of the same thing over and over.If you're an avid 2001: A Space Odyssey enthusiast and done some acid, you probably perceived that already.
> My God, it' full of stars...
....duuuunduuuunDuuuuuun
Yes, there are fucking 2001 references in Mass Effect. Congratulations. Why you would go with this rather than, I dunno, the fucking Prothean Beacons, I don't know.
>they haven't seen 2001
>>144562509Only read 2001, 2010, 2100 and 3001.
>>144561758Am I the only one to find this punchline terrible?
>>144562694This. The movie went on and on forever with boring shots of nothing happening. The movie was a chore to watch.Book > movie
>>144562829To be fair, the movie was amazing in it's time. But that was then. There's nothing breathtaking about it anymore
the structure was entierly differentevery science fiction film since 1968 has made some sort of reference to a space odysseymass effect 2 even had a direct one: "If you start singing 'Daisy Bell' I'm done!"
>>144562729>>144562715>>144562663http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukeHdiszZmE
>>144562729Daaaaahhhh..sseeeeee... gggggeeeeevvvvvveeee mmmmmm... .. .
>>144562829The book was commissioned by Kubrick to go along with the film. If you actually read into the background of 2001, it's hilarious. You have a guy on Youtube with videos hypothesizing all sorts of wacky shit based on the symbolism and why certain things are how they are. I think the real mindfuck is hearing how Kubrick played everyone and put in his hidden narratives.
>>144562880This is how I felt at the movie theater. Sure some of the effects were fancy but nothing happened in the movie.
>>144563003>Guy is sent out on a mission into spess>Shit happens>Guy realizes he's a character in a narrative>Guy achieves CHIM
>>144562829>>144562880> They didn't think living in a future with a second sun warming an alien world in our own solar system was cool.> Addendum: pet dolphins.Anime fans.
So? It would actually be more weird if they made a space game and DIDN'T reference one of the biggest space movies ever.
>>144563186that could have been done in 30mins. It didn't need two hours to do that.
>>144562829>my favorite movies are The Avengers and The Dark Knight
I'm glad I'm not the only one.2001 was the first movie to literally bore me to the point of agony. Sure it had its moments but for every "I can't let you do that dave" there were just to many scenes where absolutely nothing happened for minutes.Still, I'm glad I did watch it, afterwards you get the feeling you've achieved something even if your mind is full of rage and fuck.
>implying 2001 isn't overhyped hipster shitIt's just like with weeaboos and Evangelion.
>people complaining about the length of the movietruly the worst generation of people.
>>144563341I'm sorry if I don't like a boring movie based on a book.I like how you >imply I like those movies. I didn't.
I was 9 years old when I saw a rerun of 2001 in a cinema.I walked out dazed with my brain dripping out the side of my ears.Kids will never know that feel.
>>144563604FIY: the screenplay came first.But stay edgy, dOOd!
>>144563731Doesn't stop it from being boring. Stay mad, Bro.
>>1445633722/10Apply yourself.
>>144563604Book was based on the movie
>>144563782Come the fuck at me, broggot. You think being randum ecksdee is what qualifies as deep?
>/v/ discussing 2001
>>144563839>anything in 2001>randumb xdit's 2 deep 4 u
i've never been more immersed in a movie than 2001, and to think that this guy was right about most technological advances we would make, but didn't think we'd ever figure out cordless phones.
>>144563889Here's the part where you try to convince everyone otherwise.Let's hear it, kid.
>>144563950What's there to convince you about? It's not like you'd listen anyways. The movie was over your head and you've already founded your opinion about it.
>>144564007As I expected, you have nothing. Run along now, kid. The adults are talking.
>>144564056>adults are talking>the movie is randumb ecksdeesure thing bub.
>>144563889Nah the film doesnt make any sense at all.Kubrick just snorted a shitload of cocaine and decided to film random things.Its the same with Warhol's Sleep, its just a guy sleeping, dont pretend its deep or has some kind of message.
>>144564092Bedtime, kiddo. Go to your room.
>>144563839> Watch me plant my face in this pile of stupid.YuO gO, Grrrl!
>>144564154>lost the argument>resorts to shitpostingNow there's no doubt that you are 12 years old.
>>144564007I know what happened in the movie. It was just slow as fuck with presenting what happened.
>Hating on 2001WHY
>>144563950>everyoneYeah nah. I realise as a pampered poodle still attached to your mum's teats you think the universe revolves around you, but trust me, it doesn't.Frankly, over the last several decades literally millions of words have been expended explaining, or more correctly,trying to correctly explain this movie.You want it all in a single post on /v/.You sir, are a complete and utter moron with the intelligence of a retarded sea cucumber. Now crawl along little man, your generic insults are boring.
>>144564421Did you read the thread?
>>144564582>I'm going to pretend I know what happened in the movie and refuse to explain myself in an effort to look smart
>>144564227> Implying that was an argument.Oh look, copypasta.
>>144564591That was more my reaction to the recent posts.
Everything makes 2001 references. It's cuz that movie is god-tier and you should suck both Arthur C Clark and Stanley Kubrick's dicks for creating such an unmatched masterpiece
>>144564623I wasn't the person you asked. I just pointed out the flaw in your planBut stay dark 'n edgy, mate.
>>144563731screenplay and book were actually written simultaneously
>thinking 2001 is boringSure is summer as fuck ITTWhy don't you go play some CoD you goddamn ADD kiddies?
>>144564818I watched the movie when it came out.Nice try.
>>144564818Hey your neckbeard is showing bro
>>144564807Kubrick asked Clarke for a screenplay first. Then when he read it, he mentioned it would make a great book.The more you know.
>>144564582>over the last several decades literally millions of words have been expended explaining, or more correctly,trying to correctly explain this movie.So noone can explain it.It must be because its too deep, it has nothing to do with being just random stuff.
>>144564883>a guy wearing sunglasses and smokingThat is so vague it hurts
>>144565004
>>144564876>I watched the movie when it came out.> 1968
>>144564582>Frankly, over the last several decades literally millions of words have been expended explaining, or more correctly,trying to correctly explain this movie.Translation: It's so deep no one knows what's going on, even the author.How is this not exactly like Evangelion?
>>144564876Just because you're old as fuck doesn't mean you don't have the patience of a child. Anyone that thinks 2001 is "boring" isn't paying attention.
>>144565082/v/ isn't just 12-20 year old you know.Please just leave.
>>144564986> Because a concept cannot be as complicated as r&dumb.
>Make shitty movie with random acts that don't tie together and random imagery without any meaning. Also no plot whatsoever>Play classical music in space.>Posers praise it as best movie of all time.Seriously, there's even a scene (the wormhole scene) that's 15 minutes of visual dierrhea that has ABSOLUTELY no purpose other than annoying the viewer with retarded techno sound in the background.
>>144565115>even the author.Citation needed.
>>144561790This shit got worst than naruto.
>>144565156I don't know about you but I find watching something that could be done in 20 seconds but being done in 3 minuets is boring. The movie is filled shots that are dragged on for ever for no real reason.
>>144565162No shit. But I can smell your bullshit all the way across the Pacific.Your language betrays you.
This thread is fucking hilarious.
>>144563731Kubrick asked Clarke to help him make a science fiction movie. Clarke said his short story "The Sentinel" would make a good set up. Kubrick suggested Clarke to write a novel first before they deal with the hell that is writing the script. At least that's what it said in the foreword to the Millennial Edition, which was written by Arthur C. Clarke himself
>>144562571back to le reddit
All I'm asking is for a concise explanation of what 2001 is about.And you guys can't give it to me. What the fuck am I supposed to think when all you spout is lol 2deep4u?I'm not going to take your fucking word for it. Man up, you children.
>implying 2010 wasn't better in every way conceivable by human beings>2010 + 2
>>144565527>concise>an explanation of 2001's Plotpick one
>>144565527It's about some dudes who go on a mission to Saturn, but HAL fucks everything up.There.
>>144565423You're cute. Keep it up kiddo.
>>144565635>2deep4u>>144565662That's it. That's all there is to this fucking movie, thank you.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ou6JNQwPWE0Tell me 10 Minutes of this shit is 2deep4me.I dare you.
>>144565717if you are unintelligent i suppose...
>>144565772>2deep4u
2001 is about the evolution of mankind; from beast to man, from man to the next step. If there's something you don't understand about the process, it's because we can think of squares and cubes, but can't picture 4D objects.
The summer is strong in this thread.
>>144565868Nice
>>144565868best explanation, but of course there is much more going on in that movie and book than just that. Let's not forget the moral complications involving HAL, for example
This is why you don't post about actually good stuff on /v/, OP.Let's go back to ponies and that feel when no gf threads, the kind of thing /v/ appreciates.
>>144565868>3deep5u
>>144562725Why haven't you seen the movie yet? Go watch it. It is a very important film!I didn't notice the bottom image in the OP was from the movie either, I was thinking something Star Wars too
>>144565717I feel very sorry for you that don't have the patience to look past "lol this is a movie about a guy going to space with an evil AI". You could simplify every movie like this. It's all about presentation. I can imagine 2001 being hard to watch for younger generations. After all, the industry wasn't assuming that their entire audience had ADHD back in 1968.
>>144566016Or the fact that essentially it isn't even about man at all, but a whole new ecosystem on Europa, and at best mankind is groomed as it's caretaker.It's a very deep rabbit hole.
>there are people out there who don't think 2001 is one of the best movies of all time
>>144562818No.No, you most certainly are not.You are never the "only one".Never.Not. Ever.You fucking CLOWN.
ITT buttmad neckbeards who can't defend a movie they liked without simply resorting to either >'2deep4u' or >'sure is summer hurr durr'This is why no one likes you /v/, who gives a rat's ass if someone else dislikes a movie/game/book/etc you enjoyed? Like things for the sake of liking them, holy fuck son.Especially if you can't even give a valid reason why its good, then stfu and keep your opinions to yourself
>>144566387What's the matter?2deep4u?
>>144566329I wouldn't be wrong in assuming the 99% of /v/ right now actually never saw it.Most of the people trolling in this threads are probably kids who made a quick check on Wikipedia and started giving their underage opinion on a movie without Marvel superheroes and gags every 30 seconds.
>>144566329probably because 2001 is boring as shit and only got a good rating because of the filming quality.
mfw reading this thread while listening to The Blue Danube Waltz
I never got why a movie made before the fucking moonlanding has a more accurate depiction of space than every single scifi movie in the past 50
>>144566387
>>144566387You can't defend a movie against nothing.Most people who are bashing it haven't seen it, most probably.This is 4chan, nothing can be taken seriously.OP should be ashamed of having made a thread about 2001 and try to defend it against trolls.And I feel sorry if there really is anyone here who actually saw the movie, analized it, and honestly didn't like it, because his opinion won't be taken seriously between so many trolls.
>>144566456That chop... is full of stars.

>>144566486This.It is also what probably makes the movie unwatchable for the ADD kids. Not enough pew pew for them.

>>144566583No, 3deep5him.becuz it wnt way ovr his hed.
>people seriously saying 2001 is boringI watched 2001 only a few months ago for the first fucking time. Seeing how people years ago thought how living in space might be like astonished me, but then the story arc about HAL blew me away, or some of the pictures, like the shot of the monolith on the moon.Would recommend to anyone who still gets emotional at well done shots in movies. Fuck, one of the movies I nearly cried because of its beauty.
>>144566558I liked what the movie was about and the things it implied. But it was just very slow and boring with the way it was presented.I don't hate the movie, I'm just never going to watch it again.
A generation that spends most of its time sitting in front of a computer arguing about the most pointless shit ever considers 2001 boring? Hypocricy in a nutshell.
>>144566662well they did manage to generate an artificial gravitomagnetic field on earthabout 100 nanonewton in strenght but hey
>>144566747attention spaneverything is so fast nowadays, present those people something slow-paced and they will immediately go "boooooring" like six year old kids
>>144566602you will never experience micro gravity
The Citidel only has 5 arms.When the Crucible docks it has 8 for some reason.
LOL SHITTY BORING MOVIE, seriously who can stand 3 hours of fucking NOTHING.[spoilers]am I underage yet? For those of you who enjoyed 2001, I seriously reccommend Enter The Void. It's 3 hours of DMT-induced after-life experience, and it has clear 2001 influences, check it out and try to got for the uncensored version (avoid the USA release)[/spoiler]
>>144566698you know everything in that movie would have been possible with enough funding (up to the ending)save for the engine but the only reason the ship didn't use an orion drive (which would work perfectly) is cause kubrick didn't want to make another movie featuring nukes
Glad I saw this thread.Ima firin' up my 2 disc letterbox Laserdisc copy.Still the longest version outside a print.
>>144566832Bingo.There's probably atleast one cross-board browser of /a/ here, and they'll realize the exact same shit is why everyone rags on Hyouka. It's slow as fuck, but damn its good.
So no one has told me what 2001 is about.You guys are just pretending you know what happened, right?
>>144566870>Enter The VoidMah niggah.
You shut the fuck up, OP! BioWare is a respectable company that has artistic integrity. They'd never plagiarise anything.
>2001>Have to read the book and the story behind the film to enjoy itWhy fucking bother?
>>144565662see>>144566974
>>144566870>Enter the VoidFucking A, yes. Enjoyed this. Felt like you saw the soul being sucked out of him.

>>144567015
> Saturn10/10 Would rage again.
>>144566974Why don't you check out by watching the movie yourself?People nowdays want everything served.... soon enough, people won't want to do anything anymore.... I bet an accurrate picture of the future would be people just lying in bed, with some sort of virtual reality thing inserted in their brains, with disposable, fastfood-like information being thrown at their poor neurones (stuff like jokes, memes... the kind of stuff most people do in 4chan, but without actually having to use your body to sit in a computer and stay physically in front of the PC interacting with it).Anything that would remotely suggest them to actually think for themselves would be catalogued as "boring" and they will move on onto the next disposable information bit.It's sad but this is what I'm seeing in most people nowdays. Facebook, 4chan, Reddit.... and nobody cares about learning or getting better at anything, they just want fast mental satisfaction... something that just makes them laugh, but will forget the next second, only to find the next funny thing and keep going.Please tell me I'm wrong, because it's depressing as fuck.

>>144566558I dunno, maybe its just that by this point I saw/read quite a bit of similar AI logic and precursor evolution shenanigan plots, but I honestly can't agree with all the 4deep6u praise it gets.Granted, it might have been something for its time, but it really doesn't hold up today to the whole hype people still keep peddling around.
>>144567339That's why everyone is just saying "lol it's a boring movie about a man going to space with an AI".Fucking enjoy the movie. There's more to movies than just a fucking synopsis.
But the book explains everything... It's a great story. Don't hate on 2001 for being so randumb, its just a more symbolic representation of the book plot.>implying /v/ reads
>>144567339Go watch idiocracy, it depicts the future pretty accurately and also a couple of reasons why it's going to be so shitty.It's also a very, very funny movie.
>>144567583If we go by that, there's a lot of Clarke books that touch the subjects in 2001.... hell, 2001 is not my favorite book by him, Childhood's End is a lot better and much more significative.In fact, 2001 is epic, but very simple in it's core.And that's why people get mad, they can't understand how something so simple could still have a deep meaning (and no, I don't mean "deep" as in meme-bullshit sprouting, but in the actual meaning of the word), and a complex story can still be about very mundane things.I can write a haiku about the deepest essense of existence and be deep as fuck, or I could write the most complex encylopedia about it.You need to stop taking "deep" as if it was a word only hipsters or pretentious people use, remember it is a word and can be used in many different ways and contexts.Anyway, if you thought the plot in 2001 is not good, that's fine. I have also read a lot of sci-fi, both hard science fiction and fantasy science fiction (and all the subgenres in between), and I can say 2001 (the book) is one of my favorites (but not amongst my top 5).The movie, however, is in my top 5 of movies of all time, because of the combination of everything in it.There, I defended 2001 in a seemingly coherent way.
>>144567752One of my favorite dystopian futuristic movies is Brazil (another movie that probably a lot of people here would find boring as hell). I will check out Idiocracy, sounds fun.
