RIP Canadian actor Douglas Rain, who voiced “Hal 9000” in 2001: A Space Odyssey. He has died at the age of 90. Though hardly a household name, millions have been and continue to be haunted by Rain's cold monotone as the HAL 9000 computer in Stanley Kubrick's 1968 masterpiece, 2001: A Space Odyssey. 2001: A Space Odyssey has haunted pop culture with anxiety about rogue AI’s for half a century. When polled, out of a choice of a whopping 42 quotes, nearly 5,000 Reg readers voted: "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that", as their top sci-fi movie quote of all time. It narrowly nudged aside Roy Batty's somewhat overwrought "Time to die" monologue in 1982's Blade Runner. #hal9000 #RIPHal9000 #2001aspaceodyssey #imsorrydaveimafraidicantdothat #cosplay #sciencefiction #movies #scifimovie #sciencefictionmovies #thriller #stanleykubrick #psychadellic #ai #artificialintelligence #geek #nerd #spacetravel #startrek #starwars #doctorwho #podcast #geeklifecrisis https://www.instagram.com/p/BqKVm-sBXZw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v9hj4cjeraa8
