I have the old PC Fate of Atlantis still. I still remember some of the puzzles. Moving that totem pole with the old mayonnaise as grease and luring that snake with the use of a friendly forest rodent, finding that like one-pixel thing with the surveyor's equipment.
Also: I love Temple of Doom. Everyone pisses themselves over Connery and Nazis getting their faces melted but that bridge scene and the dude with his hand in Indi's chest are whoa!mazing.

The last 10 minutes of 2001 do make me hurt myself, in that I get a horrible headache and have to go lie down.

I think I remember from the Last Crusade game there was a one-pixel piece of tape behind a fallen bookshelf. Good times.

before we got married, my wife was in a film class at UA. She texted me "Man we are watching a sci fi movie it is weird and loooong"
I asked "What is it called"
"I forget it's got some computer?"
"Oh 2001: A Space Odyssey?"
"Yes it is so boring!"
"Honey 2001 is pretty much the most famous science fiction movie of all time, directed by one of the most lauded directors of all time. It's an important movie, not just science fiction."
hey langly, were you the guy I talked to a while back about you going to University of Florida to get some sort of schooling or degree that is related to like comic books

comic book archival or something
not archival, it was a Literature program focused on Graphic Novels. But it turned out to be only for doctoral students, which was no good for me.
I still have not seen kingdom of the crystal skull. I am told this is a blessing I should not squander.
I went to the cinema to see it against my better judgment. Jesus. Christ.
As each scene rolled around I was mentally labelling them.
Spielberg.
Lucas.
Well, this is just one of those things, isn't it?
I thought it was okay
but it's not in the cinemas now, there are a lot more movies more deserving of your time

"Well maybe it shouldn't be so lame"
I just held my head in my hands and sighed.
No, your wife was correct.
It is the most boring famous movie ever created.

Maybe I would have loved 2001 less if I hadn't grown up watching awesome stuff like that and planet of the apes

holy shit it was a doctoral program? that is awwwwwwwwesome. I want some comics written by doctors; no more by snake gods and fat dudes

I have honestly never been able to sit through the whole thing. And this is from someone who loved the book.
That is crazy naphtali, because the book was written concurrently with the production of the movie.
you so crazy

Pretty sure the author of the book stated that the movie was not his vision, and tried to 'correct' this in the sequel.

Haha, I'll say. I just found this on wikipedia
Clarke, on the other hand, wrote thorough explanations of "cause and effect" for the events in the novel. James Randi later recounted that upon seeing 2001 for the first time, Clarke left the movie theatre during the first break crying because he was so upset about how the movie had turned out

last summer I got in the habit of watching movies before going to sleep
so I would watch like, 30 minutes of a film then turn it off and go to bed
so I wound up watching them like I was reading a book or something, kinda slowly and in divisions
anyways 2001 was probably the best for this

"Go."
"No, you go."
"Well, if you love the Zone so much, you should go."
"I'm not going. I never go. One of you guys should go."
"No. Go."
No, you."
and on and on
it's absolutely not for everyone though
I'm good at this too, but sometimes I'll watch a summer blockbuster I know I'm gonna hate
Last movie I thought was absolutely awful was Terminator Salvation
comic book archival or something
I've seen all kinds of movies I know I'm going to hate
mostly because I have friends with not so good taste
I mean
I saw Dukes of Hazard in theaters
ugghhh

I found it to be terribly mediocre
I think what made that fact worse was that the director was pimping it so hard and trying his best to mention T2 in every interview he had
Uh-oh I accidentally deleted my signature. Uh-oh!!
Plus I'm pretty sure the end of movie is meant to be watched while stoned out of your mind.
I ain't care how good or bad it is, I will find enjoyment if it is to be had

who wouldn't have enjoyed that
or is george lucas allergic to coming up with anything that's not part of a 30 year old franchise
