4. Is "about 2 hours" a metaphor for our uncertain yet finite destiny written
in our DNA, or is "about 2 hours" one of those static premature estimates that collapse under the weight of the dynamic quality of unexpected experience, discovery and knowledge?
that 2 hours was more of a, "I just started watching, and it's a little over 2 hours long." I noticed that it's after midnight and decided to hit stop and watch it later.
that the movie is based on? I remember I had it in an anthology... it was the final story, and the only other story I remember that was in the book was the original story for "The Thing."
He wrote the book "2001" concurrently with the making of the film - which took about 4 years. (The moon sequences were shot in 1964 - 5 years before Apollo 11.)
11. I stopped the movie before they found the monolith on the moon
I looked at the clock and realized that if I finished the movie, I'd only get 4 hours of sleep.
The ending has treated me fine in the past--although it has new meaning to me since I had a bad reaction to a prescription sleep aid about a year ago--It's one thing to see that ending on a screen, it's another to see it while walking down the hall to the bathroom.
