Ok, I got the whole premise of this challenge wrong last year. This year I have thoroughly read Lise's rules and I think I understand what I'm supposed to do now. I think we have to do impressions of people and connect them to the film 2001: A Space Odyssey somehow. I have to say that I think this is pretty weird, Lise, but I'm willing to give it a try because the consequences of not participating are just too grave to imagine. Lise has recently been outed as a Liam Neeson style "Taken" hitwoman. She doesn't know who you are. She doesn't know what you want. If you are looking for Ransom, she can tell you that she doesn't own it on Blu-Ray. But what she does have is a very particular set of skills, skills she has acquired over a very long career. Skills that make her a nightmare for people like us. If we give our impressions of 2001 now, that'll be the end of it. She will not look for you, she will not pursue you. But if you don't, she will look for you, she will find you, and she will, um, kill you? Seems pretty excessive.

So without further Apu, I give you 21 impressions of 2001. Or something.

1) "If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal

And Betty when you call me
You can call me HAL"

9) "No, Mr. Bowman. I expect you to die!"
- Gert Frobe in Goldfinger 

10)  "HAL?...Darling. Light of my life. I'm not gonna hurt ya. You didn't let me finish my sentence. I said: 'I'm not gonna hurt ya.' I'm just gonna bash your brains in. I'm gonna bash 'em right the fuck in! Ha, ha."

Really sorry.
