In part 2 of my four-part series on 2001, I am going through the TMA-1 (Tycho Magnetic Anomaly One) sequence in which Dr. Haywood Floyd of "The Council" visits the International Space Station, diverts some Russian scientist attentions, presents a specious, US Governmental coverup of the Clavius discovery to a group of cowed committee members, and then embarks to Clavius base on the Moon to visit the Monolith.
This sequence famously uses Johann Strauss' 'The Blue Danube' as well as additional modern pieces by Ligeti.
Here's the hilarious video making fun of the exposition scenes in the latest Mission Impossible movie. Tom, we kid because we love!
