Re: So overrated...2001? Kael agreed!

You may recall her comments in "Trash, Art, and the Movies" (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, 1969) that there was more life and vitality, more sense of what death in space could really be like, in the opening ten minutes of "You Only Live Twice" than in all of "2001". She wrote that after being given all those toys up on the screen, Kubrick didn't know what to do with them.

I'll admit I disagree with her on this one, but back in the late 60s, critics were much more divided over "2001"'s merits than they seem to be today.
