    Oh, I just had a flashback to when 2001 was broadcast on television when I was a kid!

    I said the next day that I liked it, and damn I was cross examined in the school yard for it. Every detail that made anybody confused was enough to crucify twelve year old me for liking an awesome space thriller with trippy effects and ambiguous ending. I mean, I didn’t get all of it, but I got enough of the vibe. The ending was confusing, but I mean it arguably still is and intentionally so. Especially for the protagonist that goes through a portal and wakes up dead and… yeah, well, you decide for yourself and I’ll stick to mine.

    Anyway, the judge was the popular kid that also claimed that in western movies, people that wanted to die were shot for real, so there.
