2001: A Space Absurdity

[Mister Dilsby]

"Something wonderful", indeed. Much better and more satisfying explanation (A hotel! Of course! And a new version of the universe!) than the end of that Kubrick movie with a similar name. *****

I did think that maybe I would make a video when I was part way through this. But then sanity kicked in and I realised how long that would take (getting some of the screenshots took long enough).

[Old_Gaming_Geezer]

That was excellent, great work!

Nice

It was a bit of a surprise when I saw the thread at the top of the Fan Works listing.

Lord, I just stopped laughing long enough to be able to hit the keys, that was fantastic!

This needs a sequel like they mentioned: 2010 Absurdity Two.  Heywood Kerman meets Valentina Kerman, commander of the Alexi Leonov on the way to Jool !!!

 

Edit:

Check that, Alexi Kerman ?? The Kalexi Keonov ???? Just Keonov??   ideas ideas ideas .... LoL!!

Absolutely brilliant. You sir are a master in your field (as narrow and strange as that field may be).

At some point I plan to write a behind the scenes "the making of" 2001:ASA as I already have a few fun pics I grabbed in the sets I built, although I'm also starting to think about a 2010 story now

The "Keonov" sounds good to me

Yes! 2010: Absurdity Two, pls!

[selfish_meme]

Brilliant job!

[lodger]

Brilliant! I enjoyed your story very much!!

 

p.s. referring to ARL/HAL as "jumped up Speak and Spell" got me laughing for quite a while.

Also on making a plot that seems to both make more and less sense than the movie's.

Yep. That's about right. 

[vosechu]

Thanks.

Some will be making a reappearance, in sometimes unexpected ways in the "making of" story that I hope to post in the next couple of weeks (work load permitting).

[WolfCoAerospace]

This is quite interesting.

You know something's wrong when the station docking port is missing in image 3

I just reread this after seeing it in your sig.  I've already posted on the previous page - but that a memory trip.  Thanks again for the absurdity!

Peace.

Only if this was a movie...
