‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ With Bill Simmons, Steven Spielberg, and Sean Fennessey

No, you wouldn't.

The Rewatchables
‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ With Bill Simmons, Steven Spielberg, and Sean Fennessey

There's a lot of virtue in analog.

‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ With Bill Simmons, Steven Spielberg, and Sean Fennessey

When you look at TCM as much as I watch it, you see a lot of virtue in, like in, for instance, San Francisco.

The Rewatchables
‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ With Bill Simmons, Steven Spielberg, and Sean Fennessey

You see the San Francisco earthquake, the great quake.

And you see it being done in analog, meaning they actually had to build big models, probably an inch and a half to the foot, and have them collapse.

But I appreciate them as much as watching effects in a modern day, in Avatar, let's say today.

The Rewatchables
‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ With Bill Simmons, Steven Spielberg, and Sean Fennessey

I appreciate those handmade effects as much as I appreciate the genius digital motion capture work that Jim Cameron's done consistently with his Avatar films.

The Rewatchables
‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ With Bill Simmons, Steven Spielberg, and Sean Fennessey

‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ With Bill Simmons, Steven Spielberg, and Sean Fennessey

A little Kubrick joke.

The Rewatchables
‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ With Bill Simmons, Steven Spielberg, and Sean Fennessey

Kubrick joke basically saying that England would surpass America with the number of channels in the future.
