Film buffs please don't crucify, but I couldn't finish that shit it was so boring. My "Classics" are shit like The evil Dead and American werewolf in London.

Do you have to be like wired differently to enjoy that film?

    I took the course in college and it was in fact pretty mindblowing. Watch it back to back with The Shining and pay attention to the color palette - visually and thematically, The Shining is pretty much a perfect continuation of 2001.

      That makes me want to take a class on it. Was the class under film studies or what department?

        Film studies! It was a grad level course that I somehow talked my way into auditing. The professor was exactly the sort of alcoholic that you would want to teach a class on Kubrick, too - it was exactly what you'd imagine.

          Hell yeah sounds dope. Would I typically need prerequisites to take a course like that?

            Yes and no. It took some convincing but I got the requirement waived. Prereqs were more of a recommendation than a hard rule, in my experience - you just have to talk to the professor directly instead of going through your academic advisor.
