If 2001 were being marketed today . . .

A friend just sent me the following pastiche of 2001:A Space Odyssey, re-cut as if it were being marketed as a summer blockbuster.  In its bone-dumb acceleration into a meaningless welter of thrills and scares, this "wild ride"of a trailer seemed to wittily reflect my comments on Prometheus, while offering a kind of testament to a style of contemplative speculative cinema that is now a thing of the past.  Enjoy.  And mourn!
