I find that parts of 2001 are brilliant. I also agree with you that it deals with some very complex issues. I just don't think it's a good movie.
I have friends that love LotR, but don't feel that it's the best novel ever written. I think they're wrong, so I see your point. (Well, not the best novel, but it's up there).
We simply have to agree to disagree. Is that allowed, or should I flame you now?

Actually it's more like the Metaverse in Snowcrash.
The thing about virtual real estate: you can totally manipulate the "market" by having total control over the "physical" reality of the world. In Snowcrash the main way to get around was the monorail. Real estate close to it was prime, because of advestising potential and safety.
SL is much the same, though obviously somewhat less technically advanced.
Indeed.. I believe the Telegraph article has a quote by some big-or-little-wig at BBC1 stating that the Dr. will not be gay.
Of course, he certainly couldn;t be any more gay than the third doctor. I mean, lace cravats and velvet jackets? He did have a great little car, though.

Any poll that puts 2001 in the top 10 is suspect.
