Exactly! That's why people hated the movie when it first came out. They didn't have a book lying to them about the films meaning.

The movie tries to hard to tell have deep [insert big pretentious word] meaning, but ends up looking like a film that takes symbolism to its most horrible extreme.

So like, is hot wax up the butt a good thing or no?

I watch plenty of movies that some people would call pretentious, but I do have a problem with movies that seem downright postmodern in their refusal to speak to the rational mind. 2001 is the Jackson Pollock of sci-fi movies.

There's nothing wrong with watching pretentious films. Usually I love Kubrick. But i just can't stand 2001. Let's say I did read the book, and found a new appreciation for the film. It doesn't change the fact that it's boring and in a nearly three hour movie it's people just standing around talking. And even that would be fine, except almost all the talking is about incredibly boring ****! My rant is over. I'm not posting about the film.

What other pretentious films do you like?

Yeah but, what about that one scene in that one movie? Also where the **** did my quote of my post come from.

It's in my sig. Quote from qwertyy.

No I know that. It showed up in my post unannounced like a little bitch.

Oh.... it wants you to try it?

Well...Got nothing better to do with my night.

Tell me how it goes. I said I'd rather do that instead of listening to a Kanye West album. I might listen to life of pablo... or do the hot wax thing.
