ELMER BERNSTEIN: Sometimes I will get up and boo at the end of the performance. I do things like that. There’s one score I really hate. I hated it so much. In the case of 2001 I had to walk out of the theater for a few minutes at one point because I got so infuriated by the ridiculousness of it. Now, maybe that’s what Kubrick wanted. I once discussed it with Kubrick, and I still don’t know what he had in mind. But the use of the “Blue Danube Waltz” made me very sorry that I wasn’t stoned when I was in the picture.
