2001 (Sort Of)

Hello, friends and moviegoers, and welcome back to another week at the Comfy Chair Cinema.

We here at the Comfy Chair have been mulling over this week's feature, "2001 (Sort Of)," for quite a while. For a couple of reasons. First, we've been wanting to do a sort of movie parody, something not from our own minds, and second, because the film "2001: A Space Odyssey" has been a film that has perplexed the Comfy Chair for a long time. The Comfy Chair saw this film in the theater when it was released, when the Comfy Chair was just a small girl.

No offense meant, or maybe a little, but we here at the Cinema have never understood this film, never liked it, and never seen its greatness. But that's just us. If someone asked us to describe the movie, here's what we'd say:

"Well, it starts with some apes, a bone turns into a spaceship, a computer sings 'Bicycle Built for Two' and kills a man, there's a light show, and an old man turns into a baby."

If, many years from now, someone asks you what "2001 (Sort Of)" is about, you can answer the same way.

This week's movie features more stop-motion photography (our longest segment yet), and something completely new for us - location shooting. What the people in our little town must have thought of the Comfy Chair.

So sit back, get a nice snack in the lobby, and join us for "2001 (Sort Of)."
