Yeah, 2001 is pretty good but I was never was a huge fan like most people. I know many people didn't like A Clockwork Orange but it is one of my all time favorite movies.
I saw the first episode on a channel which was running a stars promotion, this show fucking rocks, and the titties/chicks/gore just kick so much ass I wanted to buy Starz right then, but forgot. Now, I am downloading the 10 episodes! Thanks for the reminder!!
I saw a clip from that show that was very very nice! Lucy Lawless was naked and being bathed by some other naked hotties and then some guy joined the party.
I will have to scour more newsgroups then ) as I only see 10 posted so far, but again, thanks for the heads-up, this series rocks. Is this the first season??
I am a huge fan of Clockwork Orange, and Kubrick in general. I mean, it is very hard to choose "best film" among the two mentioned and Full Metal Jacket and the Shining and Dr. Strangelove. Aside from being a sci fan, the appeal of 2001 is the writer (Arthur C. Clark), the realism (Clark's writing makes you feel like you're there, the film captured that extremely well), the plot (if you get it, if not read the book!), and how it plays well 50 years later because the (classical) music doesn't date it. All these things are genius, IMO.
Enjoy! The first 2 episodes establish the stylization of the series, the rest of the episodes develop some really interesting plot lines. My gf hated the first 2 episodes but then got into the rest of the series and is now a big fan.
I'm a huge Scifi/horror fan but never really cared for 2001 even though most people thought it to be one of the best scifi films of all time.
I've read every Arthur C. Clark book, short stories and novels. It's quite amazing how he describes what it'd be like to really be there. Clark also invented the telecommunications satellite.
The finale episode shown this past weekend was awesome! I certainly hope Whitfield recovers and they continue the series.
God dammit you guys, I am so addicted now, I powered through 6 episodes yesterday ) Trying to get my g/f into it, but she doesn't like it too much, something about the blood???? LOL /shrug!
+1 I just watched the entire season in 3 days, just watched the last one before I head off to work, love this show.
Dude, prequels, with more awesome hottie tits, and that crazy over the top blood spray = ownage. And how can you not love the first episode, you get a full on spread of illithya nude baby, damn shes hot!
The actor who plays Spartacus cancer has returned so he has decided to leave the show. Oddly enough he has the same cancer as PA.
