lukef — 2020-05-05 23:06:10 UTC

"Good afternoon, gentleman. I am a HAL 9000 computer".

lukef — 2020-05-05 23:59:34 UTC

Anybody here?

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:00:51 UTC

OK, right off the bat I should tell you...the black screen intro is intentional. The creepy music is intentional.

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:01:50 UTC

There is a prob with the padlet. Hang on.

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:02:29 UTC

Can you guys post now?

rebecca324 — 2020-05-06 00:02:37 UTC

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 00:02:40 UTC

Yes I can

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 00:02:44 UTC

yup

rebecca324 — 2020-05-06 00:02:45 UTC

Just need to refresh

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 00:02:55 UTC

I thought there was just something wrong with mine lol

jensechl000 — 2020-05-06 00:02:58 UTC

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:03:08 UTC

Sorry everyone.

kkpaige3202 — 2020-05-06 00:03:08 UTC

same here, thanks!

jensechl000 — 2020-05-06 00:03:15 UTC

no worries

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 00:03:16 UTC

yo bellascope commentary LIVE

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 00:03:20 UTC

Yay success!

rebecca324 — 2020-05-06 00:03:24 UTC

Beeelllllaaaaa

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:03:32 UTC

Movie is about space so our first characters we are introduced to are...

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:03:42 UTC

BBBBBBBBAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLZZZZZZZZEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRR

jensechl000 — 2020-05-06 00:03:47 UTC

this is already so freaky

rebecca324 — 2020-05-06 00:04:01 UTC

Mr. Balzer, Zack McDonald says hi and that he loves and misses u

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:04:08 UTC

Note the alignment of the sun, earth and moon...

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 00:04:08 UTC

Wow that mgm lion 😍

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:04:52 UTC

The music, "Thus Spake Zarathustra" is from Strauss. So is the "Blue Danube" coming later.

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:05:43 UTC

Full disclosure: there is no dialogue for the first 25 minutes.

2020-05-06 00:06:08 UTC

Hi this is ryan i managed to join but i can’t find this app on the app store

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 00:06:09 UTC

My father did mention a slow beginning

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:06:17 UTC

And there are other portions of the film with no dialogue as well.

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:06:42 UTC

Ryan, are you able to watch?

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:07:42 UTC

It is slow by our standards of 2020. The idea in this movie is that the images are the dialogue.

kkpaige3202 — 2020-05-06 00:07:57 UTC

oh no

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 00:08:01 UTC

i’m pretty sure mine had a “get the app” option the first time i used the app,ryan

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:08:02 UTC

HE GOT GOTTEN

kkpaige3202 — 2020-05-06 00:08:08 UTC

rip monkey

rebecca324 — 2020-05-06 00:08:09 UTC

Just being the bio nerd I am, I feel like pointing out that these are APES not monkeys, because I don't want to hear people get it wrong lol

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 00:08:25 UTC

Planet of the Apes vibes

kkpaige3202 — 2020-05-06 00:08:29 UTC

oops rip ape

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:08:43 UTC

LOL, I'm clearly out of my field here.

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:08:54 UTC

The pacing is deliberate.

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 00:08:57 UTC

I got it all working now. Peacefully watching on my back porch

rebecca324 — 2020-05-06 00:09:00 UTC

tail= monkey, no tail= ape

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:09:06 UTC

It's the commons area on Friday

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:09:25 UTC

It's INDY vs SUMMIT

jensechl000 — 2020-05-06 00:09:27 UTC

this is us when we get out of quarantine and have forgotten how to talk

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:10:01 UTC

I’m pretty sure my beard has me looking like I could be in this scene.

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:10:30 UTC

Me too Balzer!

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 00:10:58 UTC

we we see both of you at the teacher parade thursday????

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:11:09 UTC

At the initial screening, 241 people walked out of the theater including Rock Hudson who asked Arthur C. Clarke "Will someone tell me what the hell is going on?"

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:11:15 UTC

There is a teacher parade?

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 00:11:17 UTC

What teacher parade😳

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 00:11:27 UTC

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:11:32 UTC

If there is a parade, I'm only there is someone is throwing candy at me

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 00:11:42 UTC

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:11:56 UTC

These are legit costumes for 1968

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:12:22 UTC

OH, snap, here we go

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:12:29 UTC

this film is way before its time.

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 00:12:41 UTC

They are really good for 68

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:12:44 UTC

THE APPEARANCE OF THE BLACK MONOLITH

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 00:12:49 UTC

Oh to be an ape, waking my fellow apes up by screaming

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:12:59 UTC

What does it all mean?

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:13:09 UTC

The dude in the front is doing a tic tock dance

rebecca324 — 2020-05-06 00:13:24 UTC

Tik Tok

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 00:13:27 UTC

lol they look like me trying to learn tiktok dances

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 00:13:51 UTC

Ryan you don’t have to be an ape to wake up your fellow humans screaming

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 00:14:05 UTC

I argue it would be even more fun now

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:14:12 UTC

LOL. Notice the human instinct. Scared as #$%^...then everyone is like "okay"

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 00:14:16 UTC

has anyone else not seen this before

jensechl000 — 2020-05-06 00:14:25 UTC

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 00:14:30 UTC

I haven’t

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 00:14:34 UTC

I haven’t

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:14:39 UTC

Stonehenge!

kkpaige3202 — 2020-05-06 00:14:50 UTC

i haven't

rebecca324 — 2020-05-06 00:14:51 UTC

I think I'm the only student who has seen it

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:14:54 UTC

We're getting to space, just hang on :)

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 00:15:00 UTC

okay so i’m not the only one who has no idea what’s happening 😂

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:15:27 UTC

Oh, if you haven't seen this, you will be clueless for the night :)

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 00:15:49 UTC

thank you that’s much better🙃

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:15:55 UTC

Hmm...note our friend here...after having encountered the BLACK MONOLITH.

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:16:26 UTC

I’ve seen it!

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 00:16:28 UTC

Is the ape playing the music for us

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:16:52 UTC

So what did the monolith teach us...how to make tools? or how to be violent?

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 00:16:55 UTC

this is fin in class

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:16:56 UTC

He is learning destruction.

rebecca324 — 2020-05-06 00:17:10 UTC

If anyone is interested, I think the animal with the long nose is a tapir

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:17:13 UTC

He was making it rain bones

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:17:18 UTC

Giving the species the upper hand.

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:17:29 UTC

This is Fin in the cafeteria

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 00:17:31 UTC

Yummy tapir

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:17:33 UTC

Beck. You are correct.

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 00:17:36 UTC

Do bones break that easily when hit with other bones

jensechl000 — 2020-05-06 00:17:52 UTC

ryan hit your bones and find out

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:18:06 UTC

Chloe! bahahaha

rebecca324 — 2020-05-06 00:18:10 UTC

They totally can! Dried bones are way more fragile than living ones

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 00:18:29 UTC

Sorry chloë i dont have dry bones

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:18:32 UTC

Indy vs.Summit, playoffs edition

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 00:18:35 UTC

and that’s on marrow

kkpaige3202 — 2020-05-06 00:18:59 UTC

beck im loving your bio insights

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 00:19:03 UTC

we can’t hear you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:19:20 UTC

Oh man...he just taught that dude the importance of social distancing.

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 00:19:21 UTC

Survival of the fittest

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 00:19:30 UTC

i wish we never learned destruction

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:19:40 UTC

I have read this book as well.

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 00:19:41 UTC

BONK

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 00:19:49 UTC

:((( i do be feelin bad for simp ape

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:20:08 UTC

Anddddddd Space

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:20:16 UTC

The transition from bone to spaceship is so good

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 00:20:36 UTC

the blue danube!!

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:20:56 UTC

Remember, this is TEN YEARS before the first star wars film

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:21:05 UTC

And also the year that we first circled the moon.

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:21:11 UTC

So Finley, scientifically could these ships work?

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:21:24 UTC

This is also before the moon landing.

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:21:25 UTC

This space station is basically EXACTLY what Von Braun drew up for a rotating space station

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:21:43 UTC

The "airplane" spaceship cracks me up

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 00:21:48 UTC

before his time, a genius

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:21:53 UTC

Zero need for wings :)

jensechl000 — 2020-05-06 00:21:54 UTC

A HUMAN

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:22:02 UTC

You sure Chloe?

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:22:09 UTC

This effect with a pen was created by having a piece of glass with it stuck on it.

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 00:22:18 UTC

okay but 2020 we are making space “planes” soooo

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 00:22:32 UTC

This reminds me of little Einsteins

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:22:32 UTC

Watch how she pulls it off.

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:22:39 UTC

Gots to get me some grip shoes

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:23:15 UTC

Screens on the backs of seats.....one of many things that are reality.

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 00:23:18 UTC

Oh shoot I feel like I’m a bit behind

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:23:25 UTC

In fact, the crew of Apollo 8 (Lovell/Anders/Borman) saw this movie not long before they left for the moon

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:24:09 UTC

All of the electronics and cockpit displays looks SO MUCH like what Star Wars would like ten years later

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 00:24:18 UTC

Very much reminds me of Star Wars

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:24:27 UTC

This totally had to influence George Lucas

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 00:24:48 UTC

I like that the station looks like it’s just rollin through space

kkpaige3202 — 2020-05-06 00:25:04 UTC

more similar to star wars than star trek tos which came out at a similar time

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 00:25:05 UTC

I love the space-y industrial look

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:25:09 UTC

Size and rate of rotation very realistic for 1 G gravity.

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 00:25:10 UTC

Does that make sense

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 00:25:39 UTC

Yes

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:25:40 UTC

Ready for human speech?

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 00:26:02 UTC

elle woods: space

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 00:26:05 UTC

my short attention span has been waiting

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:26:15 UTC

Oh, Ainsley :)

jensechl000 — 2020-05-06 00:26:18 UTC

i love the all white

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 00:26:45 UTC

Did my space-y industrial comment not make sense

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 00:26:45 UTC

They give me a Jackie Kennedy clone vibe

kkpaige3202 — 2020-05-06 00:26:50 UTC

me too, the contrast!

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 00:27:04 UTC

It did @ryan

kkpaige3202 — 2020-05-06 00:27:05 UTC

i got u ryan lol

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:27:05 UTC

I want these chairs at Indy

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 00:27:35 UTC

do you wanna kick those chairs too and scare the freshies

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 00:27:46 UTC

The chairs scare me

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:27:55 UTC

And Balzer can tell you...that Chris Nolan is obsessed with this movie.

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 00:27:58 UTC

Squirt!

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 00:27:58 UTC

They look like they’d be hard to sit on

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:28:16 UTC

My mom called me squirt

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 00:28:23 UTC

we miss chris nolan!

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:28:46 UTC

I’m Going to call you squirt now

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:28:53 UTC

Dad is going to send a very nice present through 1968 Amazon drone shipping

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:29:05 UTC

Only you Balzer

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:29:15 UTC

She ain't going to remember that.

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 00:29:22 UTC

okay fin squirt

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 00:29:27 UTC

Was this sponsored by Howard johnsons by any chance i find it funny that its a space howard johnsons

rebecca324 — 2020-05-06 00:29:33 UTC

By bush baby do they mean the animal or is it an old timey thing?

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:30:07 UTC

I always assumed it was a type of toy.

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:30:25 UTC

Ok...remember in 1968 we and the USSR were fierce rivals. So this is what Kubrick "projected" for 2001

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:30:55 UTC

Speaking of the USSR. There is a companion film made there called Solaris.

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 00:30:57 UTC

What’s the exact time y’all are on ?

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 00:30:57 UTC

Guys it’s weird to think half of us were born in the year this movie takes place

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:31:07 UTC

I've heard of Solaris.

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:31:20 UTC

It was remade in the 2000s

rebecca324 — 2020-05-06 00:31:21 UTC

Johannah, we started it exactly at 7

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:31:22 UTC

Amy, that's crazy.

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:31:34 UTC

We are 31 min+ in

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 00:31:57 UTC

i was born after this movie takes place

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:32:26 UTC

Ainsley is an alien.

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 00:32:40 UTC

It’s the only explanation

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 00:32:40 UTC

DUDE

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 00:32:45 UTC

don’t blow my cover

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:32:47 UTC

The original Solaris is amazing. Not as technically as amazing. But really good.

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:32:56 UTC

"I'M NOT AT LIBERTY TO DISCUSS THIS" - my new answer for students

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 00:33:13 UTC

Did they just say something about an epidemic

rebecca324 — 2020-05-06 00:33:21 UTC

yep

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:33:29 UTC

The moon base Clavius has the Rona full scale

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 00:33:33 UTC

bruh lol

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:34:18 UTC

Interesting take on a much bigger "Apollo" module

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 00:34:19 UTC

blue danube again uhhh

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:34:20 UTC

I’ll say the hats are sweet

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:34:34 UTC

Their heads are really big or they have a lot of hair

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 00:34:43 UTC

Not my typa hat

rebecca324 — 2020-05-06 00:34:55 UTC

One of the best scenes/shots in the movie is coming up I think

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 00:34:58 UTC

If only airplanes were as comfy as the way they’re traveling rn

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 00:35:00 UTC

But I would add it to my collection

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:35:10 UTC

I know what you are talking about Beck

rebecca324 — 2020-05-06 00:35:27 UTC

there she goooeeesssss

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 00:35:47 UTC

the SHOES

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:35:53 UTC

Kubrick spent some cash on this rig I think...

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 00:35:53 UTC

i NEED

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 00:35:59 UTC

That’s kubrick for ya

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 00:36:19 UTC

They HAD to have rotated that thing while filming

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:36:27 UTC

I've seen that they shot 200x more footage than the length of the movie

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 00:36:34 UTC

balzer what do you think

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:36:34 UTC

The effect is so simple, but amazing.

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:36:54 UTC

Think about?

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:36:55 UTC

That liquid corn/carrots/peas lunch pack makes me want to yak

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:37:12 UTC

Baby pouches.

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 00:37:17 UTC

the shot filming.. just rotating camera?

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:37:22 UTC

Did you see the mile long list of instructions for the toilet???

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 00:37:29 UTC

Imagine not reading the instructions before using the zero gravity toilet 💀💀💀

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 00:37:32 UTC

Imagine reading directions before pooping

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 00:37:35 UTC

They rotated the room the camera was in but the lady stayed on the floor

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:37:46 UTC

Camera is attached to the set piece. And moves with it.

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:38:06 UTC

Amy, I'm still dying from 3 weeks ago when you said "what kind of person puts salad back in the bowl from the floor?"

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 00:38:16 UTC

my mom wants to join the chat lol i told her NO

rebecca324 — 2020-05-06 00:38:27 UTC

Let Alisha join!

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:38:35 UTC

C'mon, Mrs. Gordon

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:38:44 UTC

OR we can just call Bella "Ava"

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 00:38:44 UTC

beck i wish i could dislike a chat

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 00:38:52 UTC

My parents told me my movies are too weird for them to watch with me

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:39:08 UTC

The red interior lights in the cockpit...why

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 00:39:27 UTC

I appreciate that fin. I have thought back to it so many times lol!

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:39:27 UTC

What amazes me is that we still haven’t met the lead characters yet.

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 00:39:28 UTC

i asked my family if anyone wanted to watch this with me and no one answered so my dogs watching w me

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 00:39:37 UTC

I have red lights in my room and it makes everything look green when you step out

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 00:39:45 UTC

Some of this feels very trip to the moon-ish

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:40:07 UTC

I like the elegance of the base protected simply from radiation / micrometeorites

jensechl000 — 2020-05-06 00:40:08 UTC

i was thinking that earlier ryan

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:40:25 UTC

I like the hydraulics on the landing legs, too

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 00:40:28 UTC

we should watch zathura

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:40:37 UTC

SO STAR WARS

jensechl000 — 2020-05-06 00:40:53 UTC

omg can we watch star wars

kkpaige3202 — 2020-05-06 00:41:02 UTC

Zathura!!

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 00:41:09 UTC

Ok but we HAVE to start with episode four.

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:41:10 UTC

That was yesterday Chloe :)

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:41:13 UTC

I do feel like some of this film is like. We built it so we gotta show it.

rebecca324 — 2020-05-06 00:41:37 UTC

How do they have 1 g on the moon?

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:41:58 UTC

My Q EXACTLY, Beck. We ain't spinning no mo

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 00:42:04 UTC

They have a very interesting idea of what they think cameras are gonna look like

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:42:23 UTC

That's interesting, too Johannah

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:43:06 UTC

Not spoiling anything, but the movie nearly flopped in 1968 until people started coming to the movie and taking LSD in the last 30 minutes of the film. True story

jensechl000 — 2020-05-06 00:43:18 UTC

AHAHA

jensechl000 — 2020-05-06 00:43:23 UTC

my new favorite fact

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 00:43:25 UTC

Finley don’t encourage anything

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 00:43:30 UTC

Ah, the age of Aquarius

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 00:43:44 UTC

so we should take lsd to get the full effect?

jensechl000 — 2020-05-06 00:43:52 UTC

yes

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 00:43:53 UTC

Yes.

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 00:44:17 UTC

But nutmeg is more accessible

rebecca324 — 2020-05-06 00:44:27 UTC

you guys didn't pregame with some acid?

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:44:29 UTC

According to Rolling Stone magazine, during one screening a young man rose as if in a trance near the end and ran down the theatre's aisle shouting "It's God! It's God!" Before the theatre's management could stop him, he had crashed through the screen.

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 00:44:48 UTC

Woah

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 00:44:54 UTC

As a former movie theater worker, I can confirm weird stuff like that happens

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 00:45:06 UTC

and that young man grew up to be Lucas Finley

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:45:32 UTC

I Kool-Aid manned straight through the screen. OOHH YEEAAHH

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:45:53 UTC

Meetings were still boring in 1968 and 2001

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 00:46:30 UTC

The fact that I can read that in the voice of Fin’s Kool-Aid man means you’ve succeeded as a teacher

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 00:46:47 UTC

I’m surprised with their advanced technology they still couldn’t terraform the moon

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:46:48 UTC

Funny how weird their earth art looks. This is before the earth rise photo and you can tell it.

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 00:46:54 UTC

Balzer can you speak to any inspiration from a trip to the moon? Some shots and especially the opening parts remind me of it

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 00:47:05 UTC

the moon has me geeking i’m sorry

cnpnx3kgpa — 2020-05-06 00:47:08 UTC

How did they make these sets in 1968?

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 00:47:17 UTC

i literally pictured fins little koolaid man

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 00:47:17 UTC

MOM NO

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:47:25 UTC

Ryan. Are you talking Melies?

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 00:47:31 UTC

Looks like everything still tastes like chicken in the future

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 00:47:31 UTC

Yep

rebecca324 — 2020-05-06 00:47:32 UTC

YES

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:47:37 UTC

HELLO MOMMA A!

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:48:27 UTC

Not spoiling too much..but Haywood is not a key character moving forward

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:48:30 UTC

I am sure of it’s influence. I don’t know the specifics of it. One thing that seems purposeful is how the beginning is almost shot line a silent film. Attic wide shots showing all of the action.

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:49:00 UTC

There is not a single sci-fi film that isn’t borrowing from TTTM

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 00:49:09 UTC

only film kids will understand 😤😤

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:49:17 UTC

Coffee from a thermos that doesn't float. okay.

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:49:34 UTC

Static shots. Not attic shots.

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:49:55 UTC

Lol, that makes more sense

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:50:17 UTC

Why do you need beacons on your landing platform on the moon. There's no other traffic...

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 00:50:49 UTC

for the aesthetic duh

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:50:54 UTC

We are just observers to the action now. We are visually told not to care about these characters. Hence no closeups.

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:51:01 UTC

Dude, all the tie fighters / X wings stuff from A New Hope looks and sounds li

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:51:22 UTC

Okay, SECOND APPEARANCE OF THIS MUSIC

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 00:51:26 UTC

i’ve never thought of it like that balzer

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:51:35 UTC

Do you remember when we heard it before?

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 00:51:48 UTC

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 00:51:49 UTC

This is like the music in the midsommar credits lol

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 00:52:06 UTC

MIDSOMMAR

jensechl000 — 2020-05-06 00:52:08 UTC

dont bring up midsommar im having a good day

kkpaige3202 — 2020-05-06 00:52:11 UTC

i watched midsommer two days ago and oml

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:52:12 UTC

This is the official soundtrack of the monolith

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:52:17 UTC

That sound represents the uneasiness of being with the monolith. It is very intense.

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:52:32 UTC

MONOLITH II: THE BLACK ROCK RETURNS

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 00:52:33 UTC

I never saw midsomer should I watch it ?

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 00:52:35 UTC

will it eventually explain what that is

cnpnx3kgpa — 2020-05-06 00:52:43 UTC

Zarathustra.

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:52:45 UTC

Ainsley...not directly

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 00:52:56 UTC

i bet this sound isn’t on the free music cloud 😖😖

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:53:13 UTC

This is my college choir

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 00:53:24 UTC

Johannah if you want to spend a lot of time looking at theories about the movie after you watch it, go for it. If not, just think of it as the wizard of oz but A LOT weirder

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:53:31 UTC

DONT TOUCH IT HAYWORTH!

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 00:53:58 UTC

I could get into some theories, I’mma watch it after this

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:53:58 UTC

Keep that man away from bones!

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:54:22 UTC

Just like before....let's gather round it and it's cool.

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 00:54:34 UTC

Is that TARS

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:54:43 UTC

That camera sort of looks like a Red camera in a way.

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:54:46 UTC

OH MY LORD I HAVE EARPHONES ON. askl;jasdfjk

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 00:54:47 UTC

i’m gonna check it’s vibe...BAD VIBES

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 00:55:14 UTC

When the group pic gets ruined by a weird noise

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:55:23 UTC

My ears might be bleeding

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 00:55:30 UTC

VOLUME ON 65 in the living room we are not okay

rebecca324 — 2020-05-06 00:55:32 UTC

rip

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:55:36 UTC

Ladies and gents, the Discovery-1 spaceship

kkpaige3202 — 2020-05-06 00:55:43 UTC

photo they were about to take reminded me of the mercury crew

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 00:55:49 UTC

fin were making more borwines

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:56:07 UTC

BORWINES.....nnnooooo!!! :)

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:56:36 UTC

Makayla, these suits bear some resemblance to Mercury...especially with the silver

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 00:56:36 UTC

the time before treadmills

kkpaige3202 — 2020-05-06 00:56:45 UTC

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 00:56:49 UTC

i want to live in a time like that

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:56:55 UTC

This is totally a foreshadow to SKylab!

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 00:57:31 UTC

Hal looks like Auto from WALL-E

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:57:33 UTC

HAL!

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 00:57:37 UTC

This shot is making me dizzy rip

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:57:42 UTC

Note that both times we saw the monolith...we jumped to a later time.

kkpaige3202 — 2020-05-06 00:57:46 UTC

its like a Rocky workout...in space

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:58:00 UTC

Wall e borrowed from this.

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:58:10 UTC

And the Martian.

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 00:58:19 UTC

We all know how much balzer loves wall e

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 00:58:24 UTC

would running like that feel like running uphill or just like running straight

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 00:58:38 UTC

i have ptsd from walle sound project

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:58:51 UTC

like you are running on a treadmill, ainsley :)

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 00:58:54 UTC

I think it depends on the direction you start in

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 00:58:55 UTC

Wall e. Best Pixar film.

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:58:58 UTC

Food upgrade

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:59:23 UTC

Actually, Johannah, that's interesting..if you run "spinward" it is a little different than if you run "antispinward"

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 00:59:24 UTC

1000% agree mr Balzer

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:59:42 UTC

I agree Matt

lukef — 2020-05-06 00:59:54 UTC

Space hibernation in 1968!

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:00:03 UTC

They went down for the long nap

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 01:00:11 UTC

I love how clean all the shots are i love the sterile space environment

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 01:00:13 UTC

Here is the let’s watch something to give us a clue with what’s going on.

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 01:00:22 UTC

they need electroshock!!

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 01:00:31 UTC

keep those muscles alive!

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 01:00:38 UTC

Ryan I agree. Set design is perfect.

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:01:09 UTC

Matt it reminds me of the 6 million dollar man too

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:01:37 UTC

HAL

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 01:01:49 UTC

HAL= alexa

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:01:51 UTC

Do y'all see my icon is the eye of HAL?

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 01:02:11 UTC

Oh yes. Very much so.

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 01:02:17 UTC

1968 AI nice

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 01:02:18 UTC

Hal=Alexa=Tars

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:02:33 UTC

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 01:02:35 UTC

I think the monolith is TARS

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 01:02:37 UTC

Hal’s voice actor is someone Kubrick heard narrating a documentary.

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 01:03:04 UTC

who’s better HAL or TARS

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:03:06 UTC

HAL vs. TARS death match

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 01:03:09 UTC

He sounds like he narrates sleepy time meditation

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 01:03:11 UTC

Perfect casting on the voice which I think is the make or break role in this film.

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 01:03:27 UTC

That’s kubrick for you johannah

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 01:03:34 UTC

ehhh judson would be better

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:03:35 UTC

HAL's voice is immortal

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:03:54 UTC

By the way, this space ship design is absurd.

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 01:04:15 UTC

Judson did an AMAZING job reading Macbeth

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 01:04:40 UTC

he never fails

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:04:48 UTC

I wish Jim Lovell's mother was here insteaad

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 01:05:24 UTC

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 01:05:41 UTC

I believe that was the film.

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:06:15 UTC

Note that the computer seems to be more emotionally involved in the birthday than the human with his own parents

kkpaige3202 — 2020-05-06 01:06:50 UTC

3D chess > HAL chess

jensechl000 — 2020-05-06 01:07:03 UTC

i wanna play chess with hal

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:07:26 UTC

That's like me playing one-on-one with Michael Jordan

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:08:02 UTC

Notice that HAL is immobile, but basically omnipresent

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 01:08:02 UTC

squirt> MJ

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 01:08:07 UTC

See how we are changing angles now. And HAL is give. POV shots.

jensechl000 — 2020-05-06 01:08:23 UTC

it's official i love hal

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:08:29 UTC

But with the fish eye camera

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 01:08:33 UTC

hal is very polite

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 01:08:39 UTC

We are now being told that the computer is more important than the humans in the first few scenes I. Space.

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 01:08:47 UTC

I feel like Hal is gonna turn...

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 01:09:18 UTC

He’s givin me some weird vibes

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:09:24 UTC

There are no protaganists or antagonists so far

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 01:09:33 UTC

CUs of Dave.

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 01:09:38 UTC

Like why would he need to ask personal questions unless he were to use them against them

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 01:09:58 UTC

At some angles this actor almost looks like Sebastian Stan, the Bucky from Captain America

kkpaige3202 — 2020-05-06 01:10:12 UTC

maybe hal is just a gentleman, i hope

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 01:11:01 UTC

Kier Duella. Under used actor. I haven’t seen him in too much. He is perfect for this role. He looks like a stereotypical astronaut.

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:11:05 UTC

Pink Floyd were approached to do music for the film, but they turned it down as they had other commitments

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 01:11:15 UTC

Butttttt

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:11:46 UTC

Special Effects were the only award the movie won...

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 01:12:02 UTC

If you play side 2 of the PF album Meddle (the song echoes) to the last 27 minutes of this film it syncs better than dark side and Oz.

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 01:12:29 UTC

I’m enamored with the set design lol could have won an award for that

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 01:12:36 UTC

Hallway shot = best shot in this film.

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 01:13:48 UTC

The way the sound works in this scene is great

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 01:13:48 UTC

I love the reflections.

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:13:51 UTC

EVA pods. Weird take. Remember, we'd done plenty of tethered EVA by now and no one had done a pod

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:14:03 UTC

The breathing is actually Kubrick.

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:15:11 UTC

Are the oorwines ready yet?

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 01:15:18 UTC

Have they not done pods like that because it’d be too expensive to make/send into space ?

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:15:25 UTC

Oh my Lord, I misspelled borwines.

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 01:15:49 UTC

fin i’m disappointed

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 01:15:57 UTC

but no, they aren’t ready

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:15:58 UTC

Pods not needed because tethers have been cheap and simple

cnpnx3kgpa — 2020-05-06 01:16:12 UTC

How do the claws on the EVA robot work

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:16:18 UTC

When they are, send me one as an attachment

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 01:16:29 UTC

When the pod faced forward it looked like a koala

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 01:16:32 UTC

That looks like a long way to float to in space

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:16:33 UTC

That's a good question on the robot. HAL has full control it would appear.

rebecca324 — 2020-05-06 01:16:37 UTC

Borwines?

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:17:01 UTC

Borwines are how I spelled brownies last week.

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 01:17:21 UTC

Ainsley you have inspired me to also bake some borwines

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 01:17:30 UTC

now i want brownies

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 01:17:40 UTC

mom will u make me brownies

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:17:46 UTC

Strange to go with red EVA suits. Red was synonymous with USSR at this point.

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:18:04 UTC

Can you imagine being in the theater with 5 minutes of just heavy breathing...

cnpnx3kgpa — 2020-05-06 01:18:10 UTC

No. Borwines, yes.

rebecca324 — 2020-05-06 01:18:37 UTC

Momma A I live real close, can I get some borwines too?

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:19:09 UTC

Trivia: originally HAL was going to be a female voice and named Athena

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 01:19:28 UTC

why’d they change it?

cnpnx3kgpa — 2020-05-06 01:19:33 UTC

Yes.... special ones just for you.

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 01:20:00 UTC

MOM NO

rebecca324 — 2020-05-06 01:20:16 UTC

Bella just let me have ine nice thing in my life

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:20:29 UTC

I think they liked Rain's voice best.

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 01:20:30 UTC

Their suits make them look like power rangers

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 01:20:40 UTC

go go power rangers

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 01:20:53 UTC

she said “if there weren’t teachers i’d say ‘i’ll put lsd in them’”

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 01:21:05 UTC

HAL is I letter off Of IBM

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:21:38 UTC

Teachers? There are teachers here?

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 01:22:06 UTC

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 01:22:09 UTC

Yo Hal is SHADY

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:22:18 UTC

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 01:22:46 UTC

i’m kinda starting to get shady vibes from my boy hal

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 01:23:02 UTC

He reminds me of the wolf from little red riding hood when he was playing the granny

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:23:24 UTC

Yo Frank, I'm fittin to go to the store. C'mon bro

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:23:49 UTC

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:24:01 UTC

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 01:24:14 UTC

wardrobe team went off

rebecca324 — 2020-05-06 01:24:17 UTC

Maybe HAL is a lil offended because they keep telling him to do stuff but aren't saying please and thank you

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 01:24:22 UTC

i love how it’s like hal is just staring

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 01:24:32 UTC

Their power ranger suits fin

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 01:24:40 UTC

*they’re omg

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 01:24:59 UTC

Ok but Hal can totally read lips

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 01:25:07 UTC

i love you bc you corrected yourself ry

rebecca324 — 2020-05-06 01:25:10 UTC

omg

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 01:25:21 UTC

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:25:45 UTC

HAL, set your attitude to 100%

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 01:25:47 UTC

anyone else find it funny that hal’s red eye thing is inside a black rectangle like the monolith

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 01:25:57 UTC

Tbh i’m probably reading into that too much lol

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 01:26:11 UTC

Still bad vibes tho

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:26:18 UTC

Ryan, you can't read too much in. Clarke said so much himself

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:26:47 UTC

Remember the first two minutes of the movie were total blackness???

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:27:02 UTC

blackness=monolith

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 01:27:18 UTC

1:27 in and i’m still confusedddd

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:27:36 UTC

INTERMISSION FOR BORWINES

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 01:27:47 UTC

THEY ARENT READY

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:27:57 UTC

It hasn't gotten weird yet

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 01:28:06 UTC

borwine time momma a says come over

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 01:28:13 UTC

HAL WAS TOTALLY READING THEIR LIPS OOO

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 01:28:27 UTC

I am making extra chocolate chip walnut borwines mwa ha ha

rebecca324 — 2020-05-06 01:28:42 UTC

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 01:28:52 UTC

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:28:53 UTC

You called it, Johannah

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 01:29:08 UTC

BECK i made these chip things and they taste like churros

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:29:16 UTC

Amy, that's just unkind to mention.

rebecca324 — 2020-05-06 01:29:30 UTC

ooooooo

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 01:29:42 UTC

I really wish movies still had intermissions.

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 01:29:58 UTC

you take a tortilla and put olive oil on it and then cinnamon sugar and cut it up and bake it

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:30:05 UTC

Floyd would have changed this film.

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 01:30:08 UTC

Me too about the intermissions

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 01:30:22 UTC

rebecca324 — 2020-05-06 01:30:36 UTC

YYUM

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 01:30:49 UTC

Honestly the stuff they would of done in this time period would be Similar.

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:30:57 UTC

Bella wins the movie, mic drop

cnpnx3kgpa — 2020-05-06 01:31:23 UTC

We’re open all night!

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 01:31:33 UTC

I couldve used an intermission during endgame that movie was so long

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:31:52 UTC

True. Astronomy Domine.

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:32:07 UTC

MY FAVORITE SCENE

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 01:32:10 UTC

momma a thinks she deserves to win the movie

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:32:18 UTC

GORDONS for the win

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 01:32:27 UTC

more heavy breathing

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:32:38 UTC

GOOOOTTTT EM

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 01:33:01 UTC

😱

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 01:33:08 UTC

It wants a hug

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:33:25 UTC

HAL WENT HAM

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:33:57 UTC

The yellow

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 01:34:05 UTC

This is a perfect example of why you don’t program emotions into robots.

rebecca324 — 2020-05-06 01:34:11 UTC

so creepy when it zoomed in on HAL

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:34:16 UTC

The yellow suit was the wrong choice

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 01:34:20 UTC

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 01:34:41 UTC

Did they animate shots like this?

kkpaige3202 — 2020-05-06 01:34:43 UTC

ya beck thats nightmare material

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 01:34:45 UTC

The floating ones?

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 01:35:11 UTC

*the person floating away wayyy into the distance ones

rebecca324 — 2020-05-06 01:35:25 UTC

his name is frank :(

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:35:29 UTC

FRANK IS INSANELY COMPOSED in this entire film.

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 01:35:39 UTC

New band name nightmare material called it

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 01:36:13 UTC

do you ever feel like a plastic bag...

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:36:39 UTC

By the way, in the movie we are at Jupiter. In the book, this is at Iapetus around Saturn.

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:36:58 UTC

TURN IT OFF , FRANK

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:37:22 UTC

Back it up, Terry! Put it in reverse, Terry!

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 01:38:26 UTC

HEY IM IAPETUS

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 01:38:36 UTC

Ainsley. No more American beauty references.

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 01:38:40 UTC

THIS IS MY MOON ALIAS MOMENT

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 01:38:52 UTC

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 01:38:54 UTC

Aye can we all say our moon/star names now that we don’t have any more quizzes ?

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:38:58 UTC

Pardon, I mean Dave is insanely composed. Frank is dead.

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 01:39:15 UTC

Dave

rebecca324 — 2020-05-06 01:39:36 UTC

HAL sux

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:39:36 UTC

Oh man...the long nap is brought to you by HAL

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 01:39:57 UTC

THEY DIDNT JUST FAIL THEY WERE TERMINATED

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:39:59 UTC

Three crew members who have a composite number of this many lines: 0

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 01:40:42 UTC

Oh Hal reads him, he just isn’t doin anything about it

rebecca324 — 2020-05-06 01:40:54 UTC

iconic line right here

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:40:54 UTC

We want our robots to have faces. Mouths to emote with. The image of the eye after that is just brutal.

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 01:41:17 UTC

Hal is so passive aggressive

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 01:41:30 UTC

is it just save v hal now

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 01:41:39 UTC

dave*

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:41:39 UTC

Poor EVA pod looks so sad

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:41:53 UTC

SAVE vs HAL

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:42:42 UTC

DAVE DIDN'T BRING BORWINES

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 01:43:07 UTC

see if he had brought borwines he could share them and then all would be well

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 01:43:08 UTC

AI do be freaky doe

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:43:54 UTC

Best line of the film.

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 01:44:18 UTC

He should’ve grabbed yellow dudes helmet

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:44:33 UTC

Dave is about to go Apollo 13 on this thing

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:44:45 UTC

Bye Frank.

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:45:04 UTC

Where the heck is Dave's emotion?!?!

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 01:45:16 UTC

Hal was not being HALpful at all...

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:45:31 UTC

Matt, is this intentional for Dave to be so cold?

kkpaige3202 — 2020-05-06 01:45:33 UTC

AMY

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 01:45:41 UTC

dave’s emotion is with the helmet he doesn’t have

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 01:45:46 UTC

MAKAYLA

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:45:54 UTC

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 01:46:09 UTC

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:46:39 UTC

Imperfect Contact. OVERRIDE!

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 01:47:28 UTC

Oh he’s gonna die

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:47:40 UTC

It's definitely a high stakes risk here

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:47:49 UTC

He got one shot at this

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 01:48:08 UTC

Yeah. I think so. (Being cold). I think he has to have to control emotion to be able to be I space that long.

jensechl000 — 2020-05-06 01:48:10 UTC

The way silence is used is so good

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:48:10 UTC

Dave is the 1968 Mark Watney

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 01:48:22 UTC

Idk, Hal did beat him at chess. I feel like he might have the upper hand.

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 01:49:06 UTC

I just came up with another Interstellar pun

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 01:49:11 UTC

What’s interesting is the reaction from Apollo 13. When things went down. They kept calm.

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 01:49:23 UTC

Matt Damon?
More like Matt DEMON

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:49:59 UTC

HAL has his worried face on

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 01:50:07 UTC

Here we go.

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 01:50:13 UTC

Hal is entitled

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 01:50:36 UTC

Hal is talking like a little kid who wants to go to his friends birthday party after staying home sick

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 01:50:38 UTC

HAL saying “just what do you think you’re doing dave” reminds me of snape from hp for some reason

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:50:43 UTC

More silence, Chloe. Dave's turn.

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 01:50:51 UTC

“I feel a lot better now”

kkpaige3202 — 2020-05-06 01:51:31 UTC

hal sounds like an asmr narrator

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:51:34 UTC

TAKE A STRESS PILL

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 01:51:52 UTC

“i know i’ve made some poor decisions lately”

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 01:52:04 UTC

HAL is manipulative smh

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 01:52:15 UTC

toxic robot check

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:52:26 UTC

Matt this set is amazing

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 01:52:28 UTC

Ooohh the reflection shot!! Woohoo

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:53:15 UTC

This dialogue is straight up haunting

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 01:53:25 UTC

You forgot number 6!

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 01:53:55 UTC

Is this when people would take LSD

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 01:54:02 UTC

“My mind is going” lol

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:54:12 UTC

Here comes "Daisy"

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:54:27 UTC

LSD is coming at monolith #3.

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 01:54:29 UTC

So freaky.

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:54:49 UTC

Langely ...as in the CIA base?

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 01:55:13 UTC

imagine AI coming for you and trying to manipulate you

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 01:55:40 UTC

is hal singing

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:55:41 UTC

Please sing Daisy like this at graduation

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 01:55:41 UTC

I think this movie is a reason I don’t have an Alexa.

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 01:56:05 UTC

help my mom is singing daisy

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:56:13 UTC

This is what HAL has been hiding.

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:56:55 UTC

Tycho...Brahe

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 01:57:12 UTC

MOOSE OR ELK

kkpaige3202 — 2020-05-06 01:57:18 UTC

melk!

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:57:30 UTC

So Moonolith #2 was pointing to this location in space: which reveals...monolith #3

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 01:57:36 UTC

I hear voices!

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 01:57:39 UTC

MELK

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 01:57:55 UTC

lsd time bois

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:58:00 UTC

From here out...it's straight LSD sequence. I think the dialogue is done for the film

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 01:58:00 UTC

so there are multiple monoliths?

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:58:19 UTC

This is the 3rd monolith appearance

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 01:58:43 UTC

okay i originally thought the 2nd one was just the 1st one and they moved it or something

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:58:49 UTC

It is either the same one moving around or multiple monoliths. Placed by "them".

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 01:59:06 UTC

It’s always Them isn’t it

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:59:34 UTC

Dave needs to put his seatbelt on.

lukef — 2020-05-06 01:59:41 UTC

Did we lose Bella and Momma Bella?

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 02:00:01 UTC

Just remember. What you are about to see is before computer fx

lukef — 2020-05-06 02:00:04 UTC

And the alignment...again

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 02:00:08 UTC

They must be enjoying their borwines

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 02:00:11 UTC

So is Dave with NASA ? Also is them referring to the same them as in interstellar ?

lukef — 2020-05-06 02:00:29 UTC

There is no NASA insignia in 2001...

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 02:00:43 UTC

we’re here!

lukef — 2020-05-06 02:00:58 UTC

Clarke is referencing a higher intelligence here. Not human.

lukef — 2020-05-06 02:01:37 UTC

Last chance, Dave.

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 02:01:50 UTC

HOW IS HE SO CALM

cnpnx3kgpa — 2020-05-06 02:02:15 UTC

Just soaking in the soundtrack...

kkpaige3202 — 2020-05-06 02:02:22 UTC

stress pills i dunno

lukef — 2020-05-06 02:02:44 UTC

"It's God! It's God" *runs through the movie screen

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 02:02:50 UTC

It’s like guitar hero on lsd

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 02:03:17 UTC

AMY-GUITAR HERO AHAHA

lukef — 2020-05-06 02:03:53 UTC

This had to influence Sagan's "Contact"

cnpnx3kgpa — 2020-05-06 02:04:17 UTC

Space mountain....

lukef — 2020-05-06 02:04:19 UTC

Makayla and Amy, I'm literally laughing out loud over here.

csakiamy000 — 2020-05-06 02:04:44 UTC

I’m always glad to entertain hahaha

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 02:05:14 UTC

This film was made in 1968

lukef — 2020-05-06 02:05:31 UTC

If it is 1968, I'm clutching the person next to me and holding on for dear life

kkpaige3202 — 2020-05-06 02:05:34 UTC

how did they manage that without fx?

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 02:05:56 UTC

The last shot reminded me of a grease puddle in a parking lot

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 02:06:02 UTC

the very fact that so much of it is actually plausible now blows my mind

lukef — 2020-05-06 02:06:11 UTC

A lot of drawing, Kayla :)

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 02:06:19 UTC

I’ve read stuff on it. It’s been a while. It was created by using strands of light on the film.

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 02:06:22 UTC

Yeah idk what’s happening here lsd might make it make more sense

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 02:06:33 UTC

Some of it is ink in water.

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 02:06:54 UTC

That last shot reminded me of those grease puddles in parking lots

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 02:07:26 UTC

You may ask yourself. Does this get more weird?

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 02:07:33 UTC

Yes. It will.

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 02:07:41 UTC

Space snowball

gordoisa000 — 2020-05-06 02:07:45 UTC

same question you ask when you meet me

pizzaji — 2020-05-06 02:07:49 UTC

Sorry my phone is glitching on this app

lukef — 2020-05-06 02:07:53 UTC

Remember, the monolith has lead us three times now to something we weren't ready for yet.

ainsleycwatt — 2020-05-06 02:07:56 UTC

what is even happening

kkpaige3202 — 2020-05-06 02:07:57 UTC

the ink i can see, but the neon zoom sequence was amazing for the time

ryanannebeatty — 2020-05-06 02:08:19 UTC

Illuminati

kkpaige3202 — 2020-05-06 02:08:31 UTC

those cubes looked like mario kart power ups

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 02:08:32 UTC

It is leading us somewhere. Like it lead the Apes in the first scene.

mattbalzer — 2020-05-06 02:09:00 UTC

“They” are pushing the human race.

lukef — 2020-05-06 02:09:01 UTC

What is always interesting to me is that the most confusing films or books usually have a very simple explanation.
