Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

Tell us something.: From the land beyond beyond. From the time past hope and fear. I bid you, Genie, now appear! Well, the Genie did not appear but the notification to type at least 100 characters did so I am back and typing some more as you, if anyone actually sees this, can probably tell.
The cool thing about 2001 when it came out was that it was about outerspace stuff treated seriously by a serious director. We were so used to anything to do with scifi being treated like cheap Saturday matinée stuff for kids that it was a real eye-opener to see it treated as serious drama.
2001 paved the way for more realistic treatment of scifi topics in film. It is very much a visual experience. If you came to it looking for action per second, or if you need to receive information in nothing greater than 20 second sound-bites, you will be disappointed. If you have the capacity to just sit back and enjoy the vistas, you will start to appreciate what Kubrick has created.
