Perhaps someone switched him/her off like HAL 9000? "Daisy, Daisy,..."

There was a little movie that came out a long time ago, it made kind of a splash, maybe won an oscar, called .... 2001?

EDIT: You know, it's funny how things can become syncronistic. I just got a copy of the 2 DVD special edition of 2001 the day before yesterday.

In fact I was watching the Bonus features disc tonight. It was kind of a mysterious production so the behind the scenes features are really interesting. It's hard to believe that it came out in 1968, before anybody had even traveled round the moon, or had any real experience in weightlessness. It's shocking how acurate it looks even today, 35 years later...

Well, in a 1968 Stanley Cubrick's film 2001: A Space Odyssey (mentioned by Trey), there's a scene where a character named Dave Bowman (played by Keir Dullea) switches off the spaceship computer HAL 9000. While losing his consciousness, HAL starts to sing the song his programmer taught him a long time ago, and it goes "Daisy, Daisy,..."

Of course, 2001 is a masterpiece, and the special effects were amazing (even for nowadays). Atrhur Clark said that if someone was to surpass it, he would need to shoot the new film somewhere in the Space (at the actual locations).

It's exactly forty years, actually.

Don't give Hollywood any ideas! They are intent on remaking every classic film ever made just because it worked in the past so their lazy asses figure it's easier to get people in the seats yet again for a remake.

2001 is and always will be a classic visionary and poetic film.

Though I'm through and through against any remake I'm afraid I can't deny to have seen and even liked one or another... not one coming close to the original anyways.

Well.. what I was trying to say was: signed.

Don't forget '2010'... a far inferior, and largely pointless sequel.

2010 i liked but it is a much more convential movie sequel which tries to clear up all the questions of 2001. I heard there were plans for another sequel 3001 but seems it's stalled.

The problem with 2010 was that it was directed by Peter Hymes, who is a good workman-like director who can hammer out a decent pedestrian movie, but just doesn't have the skill to make a subtle movie. You really needed a 'Arty-type' film director to even attempt to do the first film justice. Terry Gilliam might have been able to pull it off. Imagine this if you will, 2010 by Akira Kurosawa... he probably could have done it.

With Terry Gilliam in charge there would have been much more humor and quirkiness in 2010, and Kurosawa probably would have turned it into katana-wielding fiest (in Space!

).
I love them both, specially Terry (and everyone & everything Python-related, for that matter).
