RIP Hal 9000

I feel as though a cloud has risen above my day. His voice performance in 2001 is without a doubt one of the greatest, and by all accounts it seemed like he was a kind and respectable person. He will definitely be missed. Rest in peace, Mr. Rain. You will dream.

and for those of you like me who want more of Douglas Rain's soothingly damaged voice, here is the Pre-2001 documentary he narrated that is excellent and very influential in the look, feel, and tone of 2001.  Aside from Hal 9000's Douglas Rain narrating this early space age journey through the galaxy, the then state of the art special effects artist for this short film worked on 2001 and Star Trek The Motion Picture.

 

 

I love retro sci-fi and this stuff is the pinnacle of it.
