Science fiction visionary Arthur C. Clarke is dead at the age of 90. Clarke’s most well known for adapting 2001: A Space Odyssey for the big screen. [Guardian]
Um, don’t you guys fact check? Clarke actually wrote “2001.” It was Stanley Kubrick who adapted it for the screen. In any case, he was a brilliant man.

Kid A. “Skip the book and the sequel film!? WTF! Both 2001 and 2010 are excellent adaptations of Clarke’s work. While I think both films are very good, the books are much better.
Further, skipping the 2010 book means that you miss the homosexual relationship between two of the main characters which was edited out of the otherwise fine film.

I’m ashamed to say I’ve never seen the movie or the book of 2001: A Space Odyssey :(
Skip the book and sequel film, but the 2001 film is incredible.
