Question for "2001: A Space Odyssey" buffs

[bif]

I watched the dvd last night. Haven't seen it in several years, but as I recall, the Pan Am and Howard Johnsons logos were featured in the movie. I didn't see them on the dvd. Did I miss it or did they drop the scenes with the logos for some reason?

1. i haven't seen the DVD, so they could have been edited out...

3. Here's what I think

That neither company exists anymore, so their prediction is way off.

4. The meeting between Heywood R. Floyd and the Soviets?

It's not there?

[bif]

7. Yep, that's the scene that had the HoJo's logo

And I didn't recall seeing it

9. Well I guess it's gone then

If it were so ashamed of being inaccurate, I would have to believe it would never have been released on DVD at all.

8. My original, 1st issue DVD has the logos.

At least the Pan Am & AT&T- I'don't recall the Hojo logo...

10. Whomever fucked around with Kubrick's print is cursed for eternity

Kubrick was that kind of guy

11. I agree!

This is messing with a work of art simply for the sake of whatever corporate bozo doesn't want antiquated logos showing up.

Why is it an issue at all?

12. The way AT&T pretty much went away and came back...

I don't think they should worry about Pan Am or HoJo's. 5 years from now some other company could raise them from the grave.

13. Guess what...

Kubrick had total control over his films and I'm sure his estate protects them with equal ferocity from tampering.
