Stanley Kubrick: Boring
Arthur C Clarke has always maintained that the Black Slab in 2001: A Space Odyssey is a witness to evolutionary events. I know he wrote the script and everything, but he's clearly (on this one thing) a fucking idiot, because it CAUSES the events, it's not just some passive witness. I have always, always thought this, and nothing anyone (even the guy who wrote it!) has ever said or done will change my mind. Incidentally, 2001 is one of the very few Stanley Kubrick movies I've ever formed any real attachment with, or found much enjoyment within. I know its heresy to say this, but I find his movies dehumanised and detached to the point of disinterest, and I always feel they're exactly the sort of movies I'd make if I were a film-maker: technically competent, but missing the spark of humanity.
