    I watched this in the theater when I was 6 or 7 years old. Freaked me the freak out, especially that baby at the end. That baby, man.

        Yeah I’m not sure what the adults were thinking in that situation. My guess is they weren’t thinking at all. They knew I was into sci-fi and space so maybe they thought it was just going to be a cool sci-fi space movie.

        Who knew there would be monkey murders, creepy voyeuristic killer computers, and giant space babies?

      Unrelated, did you ever watch the sequel? It’s sort of great

        I did, and I enjoyed it, and in fact the original movie became a bit of an obsession for me. I watched a video that explained the meaning as related to tools and man’s use and relationship with them.

        I can’t find it now, but this article gives a good overview of the concept with quotes from Kubrick backing the idea up. I’m still a pretty faithful Kubrick fan, with exceptions.
