Well last night was interesting. We went to see a film, neither of us had ever seen. We stopped to share a sub because we also wanted to get popcorn. All that went well.  We got to the theatre, got popcorn.. found  great seats.

Others came in maybe there were 10 of us in all. Oddly, a bunch of people took off their shoes and put their feet up. That's a first.

Michael plays the onscreen games and won a few Scene points.  Scene is a points program. You collect them and get free films etc.  Great .. finally the film starts  2001 a space odyssey.  I expected it to be a bit odd. So it starts.. we watch. The guy down one row and a few seats over grunts.. puts on his shoes and walks out.  Walks in about 5 minutes later. 

Screen goes blank.  Very cute, well spoken guy appears .. Hi i'm one of the managers here ... seems your film started 1/2 way through.. we are going to restart it for you.

Oh, okay.. weird.

Film restarts. .. and does the same thing.  They restart it.

Film restarts ... does the same thing.  Our new pal, William  says I'll be here till 1:30am ... not going home.. we are going to try again and please see me once the film is finished.

After another false start ... it finally plays.  An hour in, the lights come on in the theatre. A worker comes in walks over and writes something on a clip board and leaves. A few minutes later the lights go down.

This very weird movie finally ends.  The lights do not come back on ... William appears while the credits roll ... a few minutes later the emergency lights come on.

No one is upset or freaked out .. Michael and i were the youngest people in there soo everyone was cool.

We walk down... William greets us and hands us each a free pass for another film. Apologizes. We tell him it's all fine. I said.. i think this place is haunted. He said, funny you say that. I've been told that booth 3 (our theatre) is supposedly haunted.  LOL.. wow.

I want to go back there! 

And the weirdness did not end there. We decided to go shop at walmart... at least five guys... two stinking of weed, one seriously drunk and singing god bless canada and two sober ones stopped us to ask Michael how tall he is.  Months have gone by and no one has asked... they were all out last night. Michael's cop experience shows when dealing with high and drunk people. They love Him.

That was my night ... and while i was impressed with a lot of the special effects in the film ... i had NO idea what it was about. Fecking weird.   I wonder if the book is easier to understand.

Sounds like an interesting evening.   2001 is hard enough to understand if watching it from the beginning -- from the middle it would be impossible; and no, the book itself isn't that much easier to follow.

Even though I've read the book more times that I recall, and I've seen the movie a dozen times, I'm not sure if the movie is more confusing than the printed story. I thought the book was brilliant, but I'm a Clarke fan.

The movie I always thought was very '60s' and not only because of the attire. Kubrick's movies always confused me. A Clockwork Orange was as strange as the book and I walked out of Eyes Wide Shut halfway through. Although Tom Cruise may have been part of the reason for that.

Isn’t that the one with HAL? 🙈

Edit: And if it is, I’m not surprised the theatre is haunted. Just saying...

HAL wants to know if you'd like to play a game... Not sure why he keeps calling you Dave.

it is ... i came home and read about it.. and now sort of see what they were trying to say, but there was not enough structure in the film. Not enough info so we could see what was meant and happening.  It was a good night though and we are enjoying this Flashback series.. they are doing all of the LOTR films in December.  And a couple more we may want to go and see.

I don’t remember a lot of details about the film, because I saw it when I was really young, but creepy HAL is etched into my brain for ever.
