Lost letter reveals details of Ryan O’Neal’s ‘wart-hog’ sex with Mick Jagger’s ex-wife

And K wouldn't tell his actors why he wanted another take. He would just say, "Go again." Over and over and over.

I'm not sure I understood. For clarification did you mean you both liked and didn't like it on 1st viewing?

 

I guess I'm just a philistine. Of course I know of Mr. Clarke, and I read science fiction (more fantasy these days). But his type of scifi was never to my taste. So I didn't read him. Of the others you mention, I'm only familiar with Umberto-and only because of his popular mystery book. But I never read it. While I've read books with witty events or dialog that I really enjoy. I don't think my mind has particularly ever been set afire by someone's writings. And I should note that I'm a big reader. I have also been known to frequently tear up and become choked up at a moving passage in a play or movie-occasionally an event in a book.

Yes, I both loved 2001 and disliked it on first (and second and third!) viewings. But, you know, that impenetrability at the same time as being perfectly clear was the thing about it.

 

Just like, another example, seeing the Whitney's Jasper Johns show in 1977. Maddeningly opaque works, but at the same time radiantly transparent and obvious. Again, showed a new way to think and perceive everything. The real point of all art, no?

Late reply is late, but I loved 2001: A Space Odyssey. I saw it as a second-run movie several years after its release in the company of friends who'd already seen it and helpfully whispered clarifications at important junctures.

Back in the day, I fantasized about Slater fuckin' Zack.

The other way around would have been hot too.

 

Back in the day? I'd pay to watch either way TODAY. Both of 'em grew up pretty.

Either? I call dibs on a 3-way!
