in 2001, i would have made hal addicted to psychotropic drugs. he would always be asking dave, "did you just say something? right now? no?... did you just say something?" etc.
i would have made the obelisk out of some kind of space age metal that slowly deteriorates and sags as if it were human flesh. the pr people will call the metal "antenarccirium," but will be known to the general public simply as "fludge." the apes at the beginning of the movie won't understand the obelisk, still, but now they'll be grossed out a bit about, in the primitive way apes get grossed out by things.
also, since it's oscar night, i think the awards, instead of the lame old oscar statues, should instead be depictions of the winners' heads' on sticks, made out of some accelerated type of "fludge", so that by the end of month the celebs can see what their old decaying heads would look like on sticks, making them much better prepared for the trauma that is the coming apocalypse.
