Today, January 30, in 2010, the crew of the spacecraft Leonov discovers that sentient AI HAL 9000 malfunctioned during the 2001 Discovery One mission to Jupiter due to a classified directive to lie about the ship's true purpose: the monolith (2010: The Year We Make Contact, 1984)

@todayonscreen I love that being told to lie broke HAL's mind but it's something Humans do so easily.
@todayonscreen I always feel like I should give "2001 - A Space Odyssey" another go, but the first time I watched it I was bored out of my mind for most of the (pretty long) runtime.
There were good and exciting bits and pieces in there, but I'm dreading to go through the boring parts again.
