Never watched it before, going to give it a spin tonight.

Should probably have a toke first right?

Report back at a later date.

Might not hurt for the final act, but definitely not for everything before it. Savor it with a clear head.

Saw it via Netflix HD for the first time last year and promptly went out and purchased the Blu-ray. Film looks incredible in HD, especially given it's age. Don't know if that's due to amazing foresight on Kubrick's part or modern restoration technology (probably a bit of both), but having a 40+ year old film as a showcase film for modern HD tech is mindblowing.

So it was suddenly free again.
Just got home from a draining weekend, got an evil cold/flu - bright yellow snot, slight fever, aches...

Bunged it on with a cup of chamomile and some codeine and despite nearly zonking out a couple of times I thoroughly enjoyed that. Lots to think about, with plenty of time to think about it. The 'hyperspace' section put me in mind of the Acid Accident Incident - that's more or less where I was for a few hours.

The monkey-men were a bit silly, but once I'd got over that it was a smooth ride into infinity.
