Thank you, one of my favourite films, went with my Dad to see it when it was first released and seen it maybe 20 times since.

The book is excellent, adds a lot more to the story.

Perpetuating the myth that Kubrick created 2001: A Space Odyssey in a studio when it was really filmed by NASA during lunar space missions.

I have that on my phone as an e-mail alert. I'm called Dave, so I find it hilarious when my phone pretends to be HAL. Most people who hear it don't appreciate the connection and are just plain wierded out. Which I also find hilarious.

I also have it on my phone and put it on when my team leader who's name is Dave asks me to do something that I dont like working on.
