I've analyzed this movie backwards and forwards. I've read the book. I'm not the smartest guy in the world but I'm also not the dumbest. So try, just try to respond. Take enough responsibility to tell someone who you think is ignorant, and use a little non-ignorance to explain for an ignoramus.
are we talking about 2001 or ncfom?i will respond (...or WILL TRY, JUST TRY)...but not now. i have been up for a very long time. and i will take responsibility to explain to you, who i don't think is ignorant at all. on the contrary, anyone with a real opinion they can defend i respect. really, i do.

but then sometimes i realize... that this is futile. i really enjoy a debate over intellectual things... but then i feel like a fool for "bearing my naked feelings". like i am doing right here en masse.

i was offended by what you said about 2001. to me, it was one of the bravest artistic statements ever said by a filmmaker. i saw it when it first came out in 1968. it inspired my life. it changed my life.

it made me realize that sometimes you have to put everything on the line, and not take the easy way out, ... however much that would streamline your path as an artist. you have to make a stand, and believe that maybe someone will connect with that.

so, i am sorry if i personally attacked you. i am just so full of passion about art.
