Some people are grabbed by 2001 some aren't. Many great films are obscure and not necessarily "understood" by a large popular audience, yet these films don't "go away" or sink into oblivion. How many (what percentage of) people have read Joyce's "Ulysses"? IMO 2001 speaks for itself, as Kubrick intended it. A hard pill for some to swallow, but a fundamental building block of cinema nevertheless.
Let the ignorant lay down in their own ignorance.

Kristin: I agree that some people who watch 2001 and don't understand it, will never do, no matter what nudge you give them. I, however, watched it, felt like I had a decent grip on the gist of it, and then kubrick2001.com gave me that extra nudge to completely reveal the missing pieces. IMO its not a "you either get it by yourself, or you'll never get it" rule, there are ways to help those more-dense individuals like myself and yes, I tried to real Ulysses, Portait of An Artist was much...more enjoyable
