What you have to realize is this was a special effects movie. It was the 
first time they had realistic zero-G effects. The first use of matte 
paintings (where you could see in through the windows of a spaceship that's 
actually just a model, for example), and so on.

Watch it again with that in mind, and you realize why they spend 20 or 30 
seconds of screen time just filming a floating pen.
