Confused Matthew vs 2001: A Space Odyssey vs Chase vs Confused Matthew
A few months back, the enigmatic Confused Matthew reviewed the classic 2001: A Space Odyssey. The 3 part video review involved a lot of "This ISN'T A FILM! It's an ART PROJECT!" and "Land scape......lands scape.....land scape....I heart HAL.......colours......space foetus."

People respond to his review and Confused Matthew responds in turn and it all goes quite well.

Until Chase posts a nine part video screed in which he takes the review personally and uses one massive tone argument.

Confused Matthew responds. After a two part video response, Confused Matthew posted a video saying he was halting the reviews in fear of indeed becoming too personal.

Until today, when he posted part 3.

Grab the popcorn, sit back, and watch.

	I've often said that the stargate sequence was intended (1) to give the "squares" an idea of what being on drugs was like; (2) to give the ones on drugs a real trip. As for the stuff in the hotel room, I understood it, but only with the novel for context. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The novel helped a lot with understanding what was going on. I'm told by friends that they understood it more after the sequel. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I understood the movie A LOT more after reading the book... but the last 20 minutes still gives me a headache unless I've had a shot or three. ^^; (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Indeed, I only really picked up on a lot of the movie because I'd also read the book. And, yep! about the end as well. :) (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I figured, from the perspective of some years, that it was the '60s equivalent of that fucking irritating slow-motion flying-through-the-air "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" thing: It was a new special effect and they were infatuated with it. (Reply to this)(Parent)
