The theater owners didn't have to put them up, they wanted to put them up.

There isn't much dialogue. I mean the first part is basically monkeys running around. The difference btw the 2 movies IMO is the depth of ideas. I had to rewatch '2001' a few times before it really stuck to me. 'THX-1138' is really simplistic at its core, whereas '2001' is actually quite complex. But I can understand why it wouldn't appeal to everyone b/c it didn't appeal to me the first time I saw it either. msmariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15486729990673366769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-73750811663389807752014-03-26T06:58:15.574-04:002014-03-26T06:58:15.574-04:00Oddly enough, I felt the same about this that I di...Oddly enough, I felt the same about this that I did about 2001, super neat idea, great visuals, ultimately a bit slow to the point where my mind wandered. I don't think I'd rewatch either film, but I don't regret watching them.Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14323538213636795216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-29793441171422304142014-03-25T21:01:11.793-04:002014-03-25T21:01:11.793-04:00Perspective-- I agree.

It's like Lucas was aiming for '2001,' but didn't have the skill to pull it off. msmariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15486729990673366769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-21201566733371039242014-03-25T13:26:45.608-04:002014-03-25T13:26:45.608-04:00I liked the imagery, but it was as Alex stated dry...I liked the imagery, but it was as Alex stated dry.<br />I only saw it a few years ago, just because it was Lucas.
