Yes, because admitting you're wrong on the Internet is apparently a fate worse than death.
It's worse than that. It's a fate worse than a fate worse than death.

I think I've sufficiently shown that FrostCat is a idiot both on this thread and on the status thread.
If anybody wants to talk about 2001: A Space Odyssey welcome. Otherwise, I'm out of here.
So, book or film, which was better?

So, book or film, which was better?
Hm.
Film.
Book answers too many questions that the film happily leaves vague. The book is really just a film novelization anyway, Clarke wrote it basically solely to be turned into the film's screenplay later on, at Kubrick's urging, since the original short story ("The Sentinel", IIRC) didn't have enough detail.
However, I think the book 2010 is superior to the film 2010. If that helps.
Also considering the book 2010 is a sequel to the film 2001 (there are a lot of minor differences, and one major one: the planet the large monolith orbits), I think it's safe to say Clarke preferred the film as well.
-
Yup, that was my take on it as well actually, though I remember a teenage me reading the book for the first time and going 'so that's what the ending is supposed to represent' before it dawned on a more adult me that it's not supposed to be that clear cut and definitive.
2010 is something I have, sadly, not gotten around to, which is a shame since I really should sometime.
-
Come to think of it, I wonder if the choice of planet Kubrick made (specifically because he thought doing the sfx on Saturn's rings would be too difficult-- considering the level of detail he was after, he was no doubt correct) dictated the plot of 2010.
Jupiter has a heck of a lot more mass than Saturn, and a lot more potential "all the worlds are yours".

Are you trolling me, or did you borrow his shoulder aliens?
It's 2:25PM. Do you know where your shoulder aliens are?
-
To me, it having a new cut trailer, is newsworthy on its own.
This is true, but your lame analogies up-post were still lame. It was newsworthy, but your post was gave many the impression that it was a US release. As you missed it before and it's one of your favorites movies, I'd expect some show of disappointment that you wouldn't be catching it this time around.
It's not like you're known for hiding displeasure.

Ah. So you didn't assume the movie was in Belgium.
-
they are if the movie ticket is thousands of miles away
But then, all of the cars I've ever bought have been built thousands of miles away and I was still able to buy them down the street from where I live.

I think it's finally becoming clear to me that "blakeyrat" is an elaborate trolling personality
He's never hidden this fact.

Instead of treating that as an absolute codepoint, treat it as an offset into an existing range, or perhaps as a character in a different plane than the BMP.

Chrome.

Heh. What I was thinking of was that Chinese, Russian, etc., tend to occupy a range of codepoints, and you could treat the post number as an offset into that, i.e., what's the 62nd codepoint in the Chinese region or Korean or whatever.
Like this (e.g., "Seussian Latin Extensions, E630-E64F") but for natural languages.
-
And I was thinking (without bothering to check) that some of those blocks might start on 100016 boundaries. Not, at least, in the case of Hangul (Korean), but U+B039 is more interesting than start_of_block + 0x39 (U+AC39), so I think it worked out OK.

I think multiple people in this thread deserve badges. I'm not really sure what, but there needs to be something. Perhaps "Dropped On The Head As An Infant".

Touched in the head by an angel?

A completely generic You Did Rather Well badge, to be granted on a whim. Bestowed by the Exalted Ones because of whatever, it is the Like of Likes; the Ultimate Seal of Approval; the Employee of The Month; and if you're lucky: The Apple of Discord.
I don't think that's exactly what @mott555 had in mind.

I was suggesting it ironically.

No spoilers? Really? So should I assume I shouldn't tell you whether or not Beowulf slayed Grendel?
-
Yeah, uh, once the work can vote, or in this case has a nice house and family in the suburbs, there's gotta be some kind of statue of limitations on spoilers.

No spoilers please.
[spoiler]The movie was really nothing like the actual year.[/spoiler]

No spoilers please.
Vader is Luke's father. And Leia's his sister.
Also, "Rosebud" was a damn sled. And those two in Casablanca don't really work out.
And the train arrives at La Ciotat without any major issues.

Not a trailer, but probably could be:

@boomzilla I kinda want that whatever filter they used.

Welcome, @fboomzillac. Please don't necro threads. :p

They mean 'without flash' i assume, since this browser is made out of chrome. And yet the player, preview, and ui render, so...?

@FrostCat said in New 2001 Trailer:
"UK" would have been a typo
Easy mistake to make, what with K and S being so close on the keyboard.

@flabdablet U and K are pretty close though so it could be done.

I saw them lying on a blanket next to a broken toaster oven
Some guy was selling them
I had to buy them off him
He wanted 22 bucks but I talked him down to 17
I took them home, washed them off
And put them back onI was happy again, complete

@flabdablet quux/10, would be confused again.

If a new tesla car is physically capable of taking me to UK to see a movie that is big news.

@flabdablet Oh no you don't. Not this time.[1]

@flabdablet Is that the link you wanted? I'm asking for a friend who's misplaced his

Ever wonder how he knew it was his? Maybe it had identifying markings.

Didn't you hear? they're capable of acting as a submersible for a short time.
Better bring a lot of solar panels, though, to cross the Atlantic.

This post is deleted!

@fbmac said in New 2001 Trailer:
@FrostCat I think a short time won't do. Imagine if one of these solar panels malfunction in the middle of the way. Any other malfunction would mean death anyway.
Just in case.

Doubtful. They disappear almost immediately, it just seems like I'm getting some convenient chances to preserve them.

@Magus I deleted them after you taunted me
