And don't give me some deeper meaning ****. I don't care about some deeper meaning. I watch films for entertainment and it failed to do that.

Well there is a reason why he's called what he's called ....

Seriously: I watched 2001 again last night and I still have no clue what it's about. But for visuals (Jupiter and beyond the infinite) it's hard to beat for a late-sixties movie. I do love it though. Possibly ruined it by writing/releasing 2010. That's one movie that did not need a sequel.
