If Numfie wants to jump in this question can be passed over:
Lance Henriksen was originally cast as the villain and Arnold Schwarzenegger as the hero. What was the movie?

That's the one Jamie. Schwarzenegger thought he'd make a better villain, thus was born the Gubenator.
You're up.

Never saw 2001, so I don't know. However, the letters "HAL" are the letters just before "IBM" which stand for International Business Machine

That's another little bit of trivia. Clarke claims that was coincedence and not his intent when using the acronym.  Jamie

One view is Human- Artificial- Lifeform, certainly when the film first came out this was what the popular press said, but Clarke himself said it was Heuristic ALgorithmic. No idea what Heyristic is though  Come to think of it Algorthms are a mystery to me too
