What's up: not much. Still getting started at work, am rereading my favorite book (Watership Down), just rewatched "The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" (which is not a comedy), and the latest TSAT just came out.

Okay, now the question. What is the best movie you've never seen? I know you can't answer for sure – especially since your "best movie" will be judged differently than anyone else's – but what's your best guess?

(My rules for 'never seen': may have seen trailers, overheard dialogue, but never sat down (or stood nearby) and watched for any period of time. So, I can't do "Pi", because I watched bits of it over my brother's shoulder.)

I think, in my case, the answer is probably 2001: A Space Odyssey. It's a total guess, but I value science fiction over almost all other genres, and have a natural preference for hard science fiction – Arthur C. Clarke's genre.

And, what little I've heard about it impress me. AIs are fascinating, and unlikely heroes, daring and unconventional stunts ... they're good, at least in potentia.

Oh, and please – no spoilers.
