take a stress pill and think things over

it's been two days and i'm still reeling from seeing a 70mm print of 2001: a space odyssey on sunday night. so much so that i sat through the flat out terrible sequel 2010 and read the synopses of 2061 and 3001, the third and fourth installments of arthur c. clarke's space odyssey series, last night to satisfy my craving for more. such attempts only served to further drive home how incredible kubrick's film it. i won't go into the how's and why's of the film's awesomeness. as i've learned in the last 48 hours through my own frenetic online research, there's more than enough analysis and written appreciation. i'd seen it once before on dvd (might even have been vhs it was so long ago) and i feel like i saw an entirely different film on the big screen. seek it out. it's worth it. because every frame of the film is meticulously composed and captivatingly deliberate i may be going overboard with these screen captures. who cares. i can not get enough.
