BlackGeekdom Science-Fiction from a Different Perspective

2001: A Space Odyssey

Old school trailer of the week. Possibly the greatest Sci-Fi movie of all time. And one of the creepiest conversations of all time.

Open the pod bay doors, HAL.

I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.

What’s the problem?

I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.

What are you talking about, HAL?

This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.

I don’t know what you’re talking about, HAL?

I know you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I’m afraid that’s something I cannot allow to happen.

Where the hell’d you get that idea, HAL?

Dave, although you took thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see your lips move.
