My mind is blanking on the others
When the young cosmonaut races to Roy Scheider's cabin and hugs him because she is terrified of dying alone.
Lithgow having a nervous breakdown on his first space walk, then helping the cosmonaut when he freaks out.
1000000000.
Number is far left. (Probably because it's md enumeration list.)
And on Voyager (on Android) the 9s and the
1.that becomes 1000000000 are clipped so that only the last 2.5 digits are visible.The fix is not obvious: you need to escape the

A lot of good moments in that movie. My fave is when that scientist has to tell Hal to stay behind, and Hal's like hol up, what'll happen to me? Then for a couple seconds the movie just pauses while Hal decides whether to go along with it or not.
So, when they were preparing for the first movie, the monolith was supposed to be a shiny diamond. Nothing the effects people could come up with looked right, so in the story boards they replaced the diamond with a black box. Then someone said that the black box looked cool, so they went with the monolith.
For years, fans speculated about what the monolith meant. Clarke and Kubrick kept mum. Finally, Clarke was at an event and some kid said he had the anwer.
The ratio of the monolith was 1 : 4 : 9, the squares of the first three numbers.
Clarke liked it so much he put it in the sequel.
And yes, that actor is very underrated.
I think 2010 is underrated bc to really get into that movie you had to: 1) have watched 2001, 2) have liked 2001, 3) be open to a sequel that was very different in tone.
I also really liked the way that scientist was having a dialogue with his computer back on Earth. AI seemed so open, so full of possibility, not so limited and corporate like it turned out to be.
I'd say that the difference in tone is the biggest hurdle.
If you get a chance, watch 'The French Connection II.' It was also poorly received. The best part is Gene Hackman's performance. I won't give away any spoilers, but it's more about his struggles than solving a crime.
I don't think I've even watched the first French Connection, I'll have to check it out sometime.
You really should see The French Connection.
One of the all time greats.
