I love shocking cult movies, but some darn reason, I can't bring myself
up to seeing 2010. I don't know, it was kind of freaky when in 2001 that stone started makin weird noises and the astronauts started falling to the ground. Also the computer (I forgot the name of it....) would turn against
the astronauts.....To me, the ending was ****ing freaky.....

2001 was a joint effort from Arthur C. Clark and Stanley Kubrick. The book and the movie are really closely tied. Although the Movie places the monolith orbiting Jupiter and the Book shows it orbiting one of Saturn's moons. Arthur C clark moves it to Jupiter in 2010.

I enjoyed reading the Books better then the movies. I think the 2001 Movie is a work of art like all Kubrick's movies. The books I find have a little more detail and character development. This is the one thing I don't like about movies, is the books usually tell you what the character is thinking or feeling. Movies just don't always portray this effectively.

ivd never reaqd the books before...but i do believe 2001 was finished writing after the movie came out...or came out after or something like that...

The idea of the movie was based on the story "The Sentinal" written by Arthur C. Clarke in 1952. Kubrick and Clarke worked together to develop the movie and a book based on the movie was released by Clarke.
