A perfect example of Kubrick's assholeishness, to **** up your reaction to Singing in the Rain.
Thanks loaded this from Apple Music. I collect sound tracks so I have a lot to compare the Alex North score too and I have to say while the music is interesting it would not have contributed to the metaphysical nature of 2001. What was selected was a better choice. .

The camera could either be stationary or run on a support in front of or behind the actor running while the set rotated. These shots were not done by having the actors wear cameras.

Here is what the set looked like for the rotating module on the USS Discovery One. The set rotated for the moving scenes. They did a similar thing in the scene on the moon shuttle when the flight attendant entered the passenger compartment. As has been pointed out the camera was stationary and the set moved.

Blame the actress who put the pen in Floyd's pocket. That's where I learned that bit of trivia. Clearly, it didn't include all of, or even many of, the zero-G shots.
In another bit of trivia, I just bought a pristine vinyl copy of the original soundtrack.

While I like the movie and think it's a genuine classic, I find it hard to stay awake through the whole movie, It moves at a snails pace.
It is a very difficult movie to watch because of it's silence. It is as pure a science fiction movie as you can have. It is a movie that is almost entirely narrated by it's music soundtrack. I understood it and it is like watching a moving piece of artwork but as entertainment...no.

While I find the movie steril. I agree with your assessment.
Perfect!
Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) has got to be one of the worse scifi movies in history, it is the worst of the original "trio" Star Trek movies. It really suffered from it's rush to get it out in the theaters before the Star Wars Movie. The acting reminds me of the action figures in Robot Chicken.
