Giant VHS Tape as 2001 Space Odyssey's Monolith

Artist David Herbert of Seattle, Washington, created this monolith à la Arthur C. Clarke’s 2001 Space Odyssey from a giant VHS videocasette of the movie!

    Very artistic, but Mystery Science Theater 3000 did this first in the episode where they transistioned from Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank being the villains to Pearl Forrester (Dr. Forrester's mom) being the villain.

    I wish I could remember the name of the movie that features the 2001: A Space Odyssey spoof at the end... but in the final scene, Dr. Forrester is in bed reaching up towards the giant VHS tape. The tape is labeled "The Worst Movie Ever Made."

    I'm guessing that's where this guy got the idea. Would be nice if he gave credit where credit is due. (According to Wikipedia, it's in the episode Laserblast: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Clayton_Forrester_(MST3K) )

    Ditto on the MST3K thing. The episode was "Laserblast", the last episode on Comedy Central.
