Stanley Kubrick's science fiction epic, "2001: A Space Odyssey", was released 50 years ago this month. The film festival, Cannes Classic, will commemorate the occasion by showing an unrestored 70mm print of the 1968 masterpiece next month.

    Is the 50th anniversary more significant than 49? Will we be notified about the 51st?

    Maybe the 149'th year anniversary is significant since the ratios of the monoliths' dimensions are: 1 : 4 : 9
