From: kevin%bach.DEC@decwrl.ARPA (Kevin LaRue -- You can hack anything you want with TECO and DDT) MGM is currently distributing ``2001'' WITH AN INTERMISSION built into it! This intermission is of course rather jarring to the flow of the movie. (Those of you who are in the Boston area -- I attended the second showing on the first day which Coolidge Corners showed it; on my way out I talked to the people who were running the place; they agreed with my sentiments and claimed to have two projectionists working on rectifying the problem.)

_2_0_0_1_:_ _A_ _S_p_a_c_e_ _O_d_y_s_s_e_y has always been shown in theatres with an intermission. The intermission occurs after Bowman and Poole sit in the pod and discuss shutting down HAL.

This is not new. When I saw 2001 on its second or third theatrical release (1973?) the intermission was in the movie, also. I believe it occurs right after the scene where Frank and Dave are in the pod and HAL is reading their lips. Chances are this is just a remake of an old print. -- Walt Tucker Tektronix, Inc.

[] Strange. I saw 2001 perhaps 10 times and i don't remember any intermission. -- "It's the thought, if any, that counts!" Dick Grantges hound!rfg
