But his cutting is analogous to cutting 2001's last image. It is, after all, the Phase IV of the title.

It's well worth a second look. O...Thanks, John! It's well worth a second look. Oh, and the deleted original ending (at least part of it) is available on YouTube.<br /><br />As much as I admire and respect the ants, I agree with you about that first fact. I can't wrap my brain around that kind of number!
