of course their real intention is to smoke out your sexual orientation
As an eagle scout, I have to say this really offends me... The boy scouts of america does not root out homosexuality. It simply does not allow openly homosexual members - a decision curently upheld by the Supreme Court.

I totally agree that Kubrick has to added to the list... If you watch 2001:ASO, you see real (looking) space travel. Slow, silent, long - not the flashy, fast-pased, and (ack!) noisy ships of star wars, star trek, babylon 5, etc. Another person I'd like to see on is Heinlien... He was the first author that presented, to me anyway, what space travel will/could be like in the future. He was also a _very_ techincal author. If you read in Time Enough For Love the section about the twins that are a mated pair (I wish I had the book in front of me so I could be more descriptive), its one of the most easy to read techincal thing I have ever read. Its talking about rather advanced genetics, and the way he lays it out, I understood it. I also must mention Charles Babbage, for his work on the analytical engine. Cyathal P.S. Hate to be picky, buy Kubrick is not "flawless"... if you watch The Shining, in the very first sceen, you can see the shadow of the helicopter that the camera is on, off to the right of the screen.

If you remember, Johnny's parents were rather opposed to the whole thing.
I'm streching back into the receses of my mind, but doesn't Johnny's dad join the Marines in the book?? I seem to recall that.
T&A? OK... I don't dispute that there's nudity in the film (I'm not blind) but T&A sort of implies it's gratuitous.
The Problem with the "T&A" for me was the fact that the Dizzy wasn't in the book!!!
"...80% 'Bug Hunt', 20% book..." was what someone descibed the movie as...
