Hip Glossary – 2001 – A Space Odyssey

2001 – A Space Odyssey: Written by Arthur C Clarke. The movie was directed by Stanley Kubrick. It was touted as “the ultimate trip” in this poster. And many people took those words to heart as this was indeed a great trip. Man’s evolution is directed to the stars by strange black obelisks. Hal, the irrepressible silicon concierge is up to his tricks in interplanetary hijinks. The special effects are now classics.
