Cause when he's out in space carousinI never thought I would live to see the day that I could actually own, if I had a hundred and fifty thousand dollars, my very own HAL 9000 from the Movie 2001: a Space Odyssey:
Pick up my mic and start joustin
His name plate medallion
Says never trust a hal 9000!
- from "The Grasshopper Unit (Keep Movin')" by the Beastie Boys
Hal 9000 is actually a Cinerama 160 degree Fairchild-Curtis lens that was used to shoot scenes in 2001: a Space Odyssey from Hal's P.O.V. Included with this ridiculously expensive piece of movie memorabilia are four letters of Authenticity,(Two owners, Builder, and Techinal Animation Specialist for the movie), an original “2001” movie program, a copy of the original script, two issues of American Cinematographer Magazines on the production of “2001” published in1968, and the movie “2010” published in 1985. Also included is videotape showing how HAL 9000 originated and was used by Stanley Kubrick. Now all that definitely make it worth it. Now where's my checkbook, dammit?!
Sorry I didn't post anything yesterday, I was excruciatingly busy.
