I disagree about the V for Vendetta GN, I actually really enjoyed it. In fact, I think I may have enjoyed the V GN more than the Watchmen GN, although I'd have to read them both again to make sure.
However I do agree with you about Hellboy, although I do rather like the artwork in the comics.
The films just seemed to be far superior to anything that Mike Mignola had in the comics. But then, it's Guillermo del Toro, and that guy is my gorram hero.

Thanks for that bit of info and film insight Kwicko.
I love to learn about how a film was put together, especially when it involves a classic piece like 2001. No wonder it is a masterpiece.
I will be looking for the book. BTW I did hear some things on Clarke collaborating with Kubrick, but your info was something new to me. I always had it in my mind that the monolith was the symbol for God or really more what connects us all throughout the universe.
It has existed through the ages and that we were fast approaching an understanding of our place. That despite all efforts to destroy ourselves that man will eventually transend their violent nature and flourish in the future. To me the Star Child was representative of the rebirth of man as a new creature, a reincarnation if you will, a gift from the monolith/God to repopulate the world, but with hope for a different outcome.
I also really like what you said about the monolith:
The monolith was somebody's messaging system to wake them up when we did something interesting, which would indicate that maybe we were ready to join the larger universe, or at least meet those who'd been out there for so long already...
