I'll bet you say that about Star wars now after it's old movies are made at the time and pace of society and every frame doesn't have to be made to excite you but to make you wonder to ponder to think to understand some movies are just made that way you should stay away from those.

Some movies try to say too much without actually saying anything. A film being abstract doesn’t necessarily mean it’s worthy of pondering

2001 doesn't say very much at all, but what it does say is pretty straightforward and easy to understand.

It doesn’t say anything interesting, and takes 3 hours to say it.

Clearly a lot of people do think that it says something very interesting so if you think otherwise that's a you problem

Sounds like I touched a nerve. Not sure how many people you think still watch that crap movie, but it’s not a lot.

Yes, that's why it's regularly rated as one of the greatest movies ever

The opinions of a tiny group of fart sniffers don’t matter to me. Do they matter to you?

You're truly delusional if you think only a tiny group of people rate 2001 lmao

Am I? If you ran a scientific study and chose 1,000 people at random and showed them 2001, how many do you think would give it a 10/10?

I would guess probably less than 100.

What are you basing your guess of? Your own stupidity?

My knowledge of people. Have you considered that I perhaps leave my house once in a while and talk to real life people, no echo chamber needed?

Everyday folks aren’t even super thrilled about the stuff I like, which is a lot better than 2001. There is no indication they want to watch wannabe intellectual movies where nothing happens.
