I was fortunate enough to view this film at the Slamdance (not Sundance) festival in Park City, UT. In spite of hard wood chairs and a stuffy packed room environment, one could not think of anything else but the events in the movie. Randy Quaid is wonderful as a slimy con artist and Troy is brilliant as always in his idiom. The direction and feel is cruelly realistic to the bite. If you see this film, don't forget your stocking caps, because its COLD out there!

2001: A Space Odyssey
(1968)
The greatest science fiction film (on planet earth)
15 July 2003
Kubrick's allusions to zarathustrianism (zoroastrianism) in 2001: a space odyssey are apocraphic and obsessive, the special effects are decades beyond its time (they even got the surface of the moon right in 1968!), and the implications are haunting. Kubrick's 2001 asks every question about mankind's relationship to machines, and even mankind's relationship to his predecessors. It is as pure as the bodily fluids that fill our American bodies: free from flouridation!
