I just resurfaced the beehive thread. Boxster and Cowgirl are prominent, and JP4CY is hilarious.
I saw it in 1968, I was all of 12 years old. My older brother was a huge sci-fi fan, he read Arthur C. Clarke, Bradbury, Heinlein, etc. so he dragged me along. I remember coming out of the theater thinking, "What the hell did I just see?" Man, I was weeks getting over that movie. I have probably watched it at least another dozen times since then, and I always see something new. (This is typical of Kubrick films, though.)
Considering it was made 50 years ago, it stands up very well today. Douglas Trumbull's special effects are truly awesome, for the time. The story line is as deep as you want to make it - but it's guaranteed to make you think.
Oh the irony of Nebraska Football players being on Jeopardy.
We watched it during Novel class in high school.
Novel may not have been my most educational class.
I am a cinematic blasphemer in that I do not care for that movie very much.
How did you guys determine what your major was going to be? After a year of college I still have no idea what I want to major in
In all seriousness, coming out of high school, I knew I had a pretty good aptitude for math and science so I decided to try out engineering. When I realized that I didn't have what it takes to be an engineer, I decided to choose a career that was still numbers-oriented.
You're still a freshman so don't feel to rushed to make a decision. If in doubt you can always start out in Finance, Marketing, or even certain types of Computer Science. These are majors that open up a lot of possibilities and don't put you in too much of a niche category.
I am too and I'm probably even more of a blasphemer when I state that I liked 2010 a lot more than 2001.
Unintentional or intentional, that's a Kaylee Firefly reference.

"Because I'm pretty?"
"Because you're pretty."
