Adams: Whatever you know in here, your other self knows out there.
Morbius: I'm not a monster, you...
Adams: We're all part monsters in our subconscious, so we have laws and religion!

I wonder what Shakespeare would make of it.

I hope he'd enjoy this interpretation of his Tempest. That being said, I still think it's one of the better SF movies ever made, filled with more of its concepts than most modern films, even Kubrick's.

I agree mostly (I think 2001 is probably the best SF film ever made).

I used to think so too, but, when I saw it on TV last year, it just didn't work for me anymore. But that's just my reaction. As far as other SF movies are concerned, I'd probably put The Day The Earth Stood Still at the top. What about you?

I watched 2001 last year with John, and I have to say that it still works for me on various levels, especially the efforts made to realistically portray everyday use of technology.


That might also be why I like Blade Runner, as it has a dystopian future that in many ways was believable.

What about 2010? I remember thinking how it looked and felt like a TV sequel to 2001.

One movie I liked in spite of its flaws was Silent Running. The premise was nutty, but it worked if one looked at it as a fable. At the same time, I think it was one of the first, if not the first, to show a lived-in clunky future. And the robots - Huey, Dewey and Louie - were really neat.
