2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

I have to admit, I’m a bit of a weirdo. I actually slept through my first viewing of 2001: A Space Odyssey. The second time, I only made it halfway. It took three tries before I finally sat through the whole thing.
I have this feeling that I’m mostly drawn to the movies I fall asleep during on the first watch. 😁

1/4 FINALE:
Battle of the Blockbusters: The Godfather(1972)
The Big Lebowski(1998) vs Schindler's List(1993)
Goodfellas(1990) vs One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest(1975)
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly(1966) vs The Shawshank Redemption(1994)

The Shawshank Redemption (1994) Battle of the Blockbusters vs. The Usual Suspects.

The Godfather (1972) vs. Goodfellas. Tough call. Taxi Driver (1976)
Goodfellas (1990) vs. Leon (1994)
The Big Lebowski (1998) Battle of the Blockbusters vs. Psycho

Trainspotting (1996) Battle of the Blockbusters vs. The Usual Suspects

The Shawshank Redemption. A classic.Terminator 2 / Leon vs. Terminator 2: Judgment Day
Léon: The Professional (1994) A showdown against Vertigo.
The Silence of the Lambs. A classic. Taxi Driver vs. Taxi Driver. Not much to say there.

Battle of the Blockbusters: Braveheart (1995) vs... One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)
The Deer Hunter (1978) Battle of the Blockbusters vs. Once Upon a Time in America.
Blade Runner (1982) vs. The Empire Strikes Back The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966)

The Godfather Part II. Still holds up. Unforgiven vs. Battle of the Blockbusters.
The Dark Knight. Still holds up. Battle of the Blockbusters: Psycho (1960)
Scarface (1983) vs. Schindler's List (1993)
The Matrix vs. The Empire Strikes Back. Hard to call it a fair fight. The Shining. A classic.

Honestly, picking just one is tough. I’ve loved pretty much everything on that list.
Blade Runner. Honestly, I think I slept through it twice. I finally sat down for a third viewing recently just to refresh my memory before the new one comes out. It hit me completely differently this time.
Maybe my fourth review will actually be worth something.🤣

Dennis Hall41 said:@Rachel Price6 No, compilations, soundtracks, and live albums don't count.
So, we're talking about The Wall.
And wait, how is Exodus a double album?

Got it. I think I messed up regarding Exodus, my bad. I can't get to my room right now to check anything.
Once I can, I'll let you know exactly which double LPs I have.

I have some, but I'm not sure if we're even talking about the same thing.
Are you thinking of albums like Pink Floyd's The Wall, or maybe Bob Marley & The Wailers - Exodus?
I've got Leonard Cohen: The Collection, or maybe a Dylan Collector set.
I need to check what I actually have; most of my stuff is pretty old.
I also have the original Grease, Saturday Night Fever, and a whole bunch of other things.🤣

R. I. P. I’m feeling pretty numb lately. Not sure if I can even feel anything anymore.

I didn't know them all that well.

Casino Royale - Chris Cornell - you know my Name

Look, if I called you out, my bad. I promise I’ll chill out. Seriously—I’ll get you a bottle of the finest bourbon, just name your brand. Don't walk away yet; I won't make a scene if you leave. But honestly, what am I even doing here without you?
For real though, take a break if you're exhausted, but please don't go looking for a new crew, Tudume.

Politicians in this world don't deserve our respect, and honestly, nobody listens to them anymore. We all know they've sold their souls to serve special interests. It feels like everyone is corrupt, just clawing for their own positions.
They contribute absolutely nothing to the public. Because of that, I don't really see why I should bother respecting the average person who just found a way to chase their own ambitions through this online space.
Demanding respect when you haven't earned it is just foolish. To me, politicians are basically parasites we keep feeding while they tear apart our lives and society.

🤔 Are there actually hieroglyphics somewhere that say who built them? I'm dying to know.

In my opinion, this is the best song ever sung in English.
