GTR: something wonderful is about to happen

GTR joke thread drifts into Kubrick and movie debate

A joke post parodying 2001: A Space Odyssey dialogue about installing GTR prompted more HAL 9000 quotes. The thread then drifted entirely into film talk, debating whether Kubrick was the greatest director, comparing him with Frankenheimer (director of Grand Prix), and later discussing Tarantino and Rodriguez.

Yeah, It's an oldie but a goody! Admittedly not for everybody. I like it ;) A couple of years ago I got to see it at a Film festival that is held in Champagin IL.every year and was hosted by Roger Ebert. http://www.ebertfest.com/ He and a few actors from the movie sat up on the stage and had a little discussion about the movie when it was over. It was kind cool! ...Oops I'm rambling again ;) > Doh! wow, I didn't realize HAL 9000 was so popular...<g> Would youbelieve

No. By definition, that means that I'll like another director better. Hell, I even like Frankenheimer better(Grand Prix, Ronin, Reindeer Games).

I don't think there has ever been another director who delved into the psyche more deeply than Kubrick. This guy was so far ahead of everyone else that he still impresses us with 2001 today. (made in 1968) No phony rocket ship blasts in space...yet the silence was deafening. Oh, and that AI? I'm sure Stanley had a much darker image in mind than a teddybear (no offence Steven). He was not one for Hollywood commercialism....which is why he sometimes took years to complete projects. Like a perfectionist, a true master, it wasn't about the money. I can't help but have great admiration for the guy. *..guess i'm getting off topic here...oops* "Jan Verschueren" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Y%yoc.105167$[email hidden]...

The book is a must-read, altho I'd probably recommend seeing the movie first since the underlying theme of the story is a bit more subtle in the film (the book sort of thwaps you in the head with it, especially towards the end).

True, but I must say I didn't understand the visual language at the end of the film until I read the book. Jan. =---

I quite liked "Dune" and "1984" too, BTW, and I do enjoy movies on levels other than it being one of the artforms. Trouble is, maybe, there's little "pure" science fiction movies beying made. Sci-fi adventures, sci-fi thrillers and sci-fi horror(*) a plenty, but fairly little of the, often slow-paced, social commentary/philosofical stuff.

Does it really matter *why* I like and remember Grand Prix? I'm sure some people only like the movie because they like Eva Marie Saint. So what - it still gets them to watch the movie... 2001 may be a great film. I'm interested in seeing it, but it's more curiousity of what all the fuss is about. It's been out for more than 35 years.

It's still an opinion(on both sides). You think Kubrick is a god, I don't. There are still other directors I like more. The fact that I picked Frankenheimer(to sort of keep on topic) rather than Spielberg, Peter Jackson, or someone else doesn't matter. And I don't know who James Horner *or* Bernard Herrmann are, so I can't comment on them... Besides - I'm an atheist, so Kubrick *can't* be a god.

Rodriquez has done two series of films...The Spy Kids movies, and the Mexican 'El Mariachi' movies.(El Mariachi, Desperado, and Once Upon a Time in Mexico) <the last two of these movies with Antonia Banderas> If you watch the Mariachi films, you can see where Tarantino got his Kill Bill comic book movie style.

Yea, but "Once Upon a Time in Mexico" is a POS and "KillBill" isn't.

Robert Rodriguez... From Dusk Till Dawn, and just about any Mexican action movie starring Antonio Bandaras. He and Tarantino work very closely together and their styles are very similar. -Larry "EldredP" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I'm sure you're familiar with George Clooney. I assure you, you have NEVER seen George Clooney like he is in "From Dusk Til' Dawn" :) -Larry "EldredP" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
