: 2001. Marathon movie AIs could be something like HAL.
Yeah, but 2001 was made back in the 60s. Innovative films were still being made in Hollywood back then. Now, it seems like all Hollywood wants to do is crank out formulaic shlockbusters. I find it highly unlikely the studio bosses would want to "experiment" by using characters that are nothing but a voice and a coloured light.
I suspect you and Forrest are talking about the Marathon movie you'd like to see. I'm talking about the kind of Marathon movie I think Hollywood is most likley to upchuck.
