Live-tweeting “2001: A Space Odyssey”

This Sunday evening, I’ll be live-tweeting while watching 2001: A Space Odyssey with Elisa Gabbert, Sommer Browning, Dan Boehl, and Dan Magers. The details:

For reasons I find difficult to articulate, even to myself, Sommer Browning (fellow Denverite, Birds LLC poet, and comrade in comedy) and I are planning to “live-tweet” Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey this Sunday night at 7 p.m. Mountain Time (9 p.m. Eastern). It’s not going to be on TV or anything; we’re just going to rent it and watch it and tweet about it. (It’s no coincidence that “MST” stands for both Mountain Standard Time and Mystery Science Theater! Unfortunately, we’re currently on Daylight Saving Time.) If you have this movie in your arsenal or can get access to it, you should join us! We’ll be using the hashtag #2001 #2k1. My Twitter handle is @egabbert and Sommer’s is (wait for it) @vagtalk. Also joining us will be Dan Boehl, Dan Magers and ________?

My Twitter handle is @adjameson. I’ll also be happy to chat about the film (and movies in general) on Facebook then. Hope you can join us!

      Thanks Adam! Quick update to the hashtag though: We’ll be using #2k1 instead because apparently all-number hashtags don’t work. See you there!

      Twitter won’t let us do that, eh?

      Edited!

      This is a great idea, Mr. A D Jameson. Just read the book and watched the film again, back to back. Always magical.

      Thanks! It was not my idea, though.

      I’ll try to say something interesting about the film. I haven’t seen it in a while, so it’ll be good to revisit it.

      Cool. I’ll be there. I may have to borrow a device though. Will you have some handy?
