Default 2001: A Space Odyssey revisited

Ok, I love Stanley Kubrick's work. He is a very meticulous movie maker who makes challenging, hard to understand flicks. I watched this movie again yesterday for the 3rd time. I watched the movie long ago, and I though it was stupid and a waste of film. After years, I thought there had to be something to all the great reviews and people claiming this as the "Best movie of all time". So, I tried again yesterday. I still had trouble wrapping my head around it, but went to several websites that kind of help unwind the meaning and the purposes of the points in the movie. I won't get into any spoilers or anything, because my head might explode. If nothing else, it sure got me thinking more about the movie and has me wanting to see it again. If you've not seen it, make sure you are EXTREMELY open minded and cast away your expectations of what you think it might be about until after it is over. what?
