A film I think about and quote a lot. “[Redacted] was told to lie — by people who find it easy to lie. [Redacted] didn’t know how. So he couldn’t function.” #2010TheYearWeMakeContact

On September 17, 1994, Mysterious Island, 2010: The Year We Make Contact, First Men in the Moon and The Three Stooges in Orbit were screened on TNT's MonsterVision. Here's some fan art!

I am surprised nobody has been able to get the 3rd and 4th books off the ground. Tom Hanks was attached once and SyFy wanted to do a miniseries, but neither came to anything.

Nice shot of the monolith standing watch on Jupiter's (RIP) moon Europa. It (IMO) maintains the mystery of the original film and still gives us a satisfying conclusion that stands on its own.

It's implied in the book 2OO1 that given the reasons for HAL's breakdown, Bowman doesn't hold a grudge.

As someone that has read 2O10 and its sequels 2061 and 3001, be aware that HAL doesn't "die" Bowman asks the alien intelligence to spare him as he (Bowman) needs something closer to himself to interact with. And "they" agree.

HAL: "Dr. Chandra, will I dream?"
A surprisingly emotional moment for me.

A nice touch by Peter Hyams in using Arthur C. Clark and Stanely Kubrick on the magazine cover.

One thing to note about #2010TheYearWeMakeContact is that it was released at the height of the Cold War (part 2!) so, a joint US-Russian mission may have seemed crazy. Yet, within 8 years, the US and Russia agreed to jointly build the International Space Station.

Mary Jo Deschanel (*) as Dave Bowman's widow. In the book, Bowman is unmarried.
*also played John Glenn's wife in the Right Stuff BTW.

Yes. #2010TheYearWeMakeContact has its own visual style. It's not 2OO1 (what could be?), but it works - and it works very well. I must have seen this film once a week in 1984/1985. 🤓

Great jobs by #2010 art directors and visual effects people, considering they were given little to work with #TCMParty

The model of "Discovery" used in #2010TheYearWeMakeContact was a recreation of the original since Kubrick had most (but not all) of the original models destroyed.
.. and yes, Jupiter's moon Io really does look like a pizza from all of the volcanic activity on its surface.

Note, that 2OO1 was released before any probes had been sent to the Jovian system. By the time of the release of #2010TheYearWeMakeContact, the voyager probes had given us our first real look. And Europa will have 2 visitors in the years to come.
