WWWWWHHHHHOOOOAAAAAAA there!  Don't call 2001: A Space Odyssey a bad
film: you just missed it, that's all.  Reading the novel by Arthur
Clarke should have been made a prerequisite to admission.  The novel
and the book were developed in parallel with each other and should
be appreciated as a matched set.  The novel carries detail that
would be impractical to put in the movie; the movie carries a visual
impact that cannot be put into words.  Neither the book nor the
movie tries to do the other job.  The final product was THE
masterwork of true art in science fiction.
