  5. Try the Dune trilogy for odd, first one kinda makes sense, after that you probably require heavy chemical engineering to get it.

  11. It’s long winded but the ships sinister computer HAL is worth watching as it (spoiler alert) tries to kill the crew, something our iPads and iphones will eventually do to us...

  14. It’s fine IMO. It just has a total non-ending.

  16. Considering there was absolutely no realistic spacey stuff around at the time, it was ground-breaking.

    Just a pity Stanley couldn’t think of a decent ending...

    You have to read the book to get the meaning, Bowman has transcended his human form and is now something greater.

  20. Who has the time ;)?

    Your 2001 geek question of the evening: what fluff did they make filming that showed it was made in Hertfordshire, not space? Hint: it was on the Pan-Am shuttle thing.
