[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 9456618, member: 54629"] Yes, but I don't remember it as well as the second one that was set in Afghanistan and dedicated to the pre-Taliban "freedom fighters" fighting the good fight against those dirty commies. LOL. OK. See, I [I]did [/I]enjoy [I]2001: A Space Odyssey [/I]when I was younger. Enough so that I replaced many of my computer's default sounds with clips from HAL. You know, so like instead of the default error "bing", my computer would say, "I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that." These days, though, if I were to watch it again, I'd probably want to watch it slightly sped up. I'm also not suggesting you have to be high to enjoy it at all. I'm asking if it would be [I]more enjoyable [/I]that way. I'm certainly not going to try it myself to find out. EDIT: I also apologize for unintentionally implying that these films weren't enjoyable if you're not high. OK. Well, maybe I'll give it a try just so I can say I've seen it then.
