Mr. Shavington
Knows Hot Turkish Toilets
That’s exactly what I meant to convey, and I feel there really is something captivating about the deep blackness and perfect symmetry of these hard Arks. I am definitely one of those chimps.What great photo.
That’s a giant ark and those chimps are us.
Stanley Kubrick, Arthur C Clarke, whoever it was who came up with the black monolith was definitely an ark head.
Apparently the movie monolith was originally planned to be a clear perspex pyramid, and was then redesigned as a perspex slab due to production difficulties. When Kurbick saw it on screen he didn’t like that it was so glassy so he asked for a black one instead. I guess Kubrick had no idea what Arkansas novaculite stones are but he coincidentally replicated one and it made movie history. These hard, black Arks do have a strangely captivating presence, which the more popular translucent Arks don’t. The chimp inside me loves just owning one and looking at it when I’m not honing on it.
