So I taught my neighbor what "Open the pod bay doors Hal" means..
It came up a while back during a BS session that he had no idea what the line meant and had never seen 2001. So I showed the scene on Youtube and gave him a bit of the setup, mad computer won't let guy without helmet back in the ship, now he's seeing that line everywhere (on the economics blogs of all places) and comes and cackles to me about it.
He didn't know about the Ripley Maneuver either so we discussed that too.
I love educating the public about SF.
