Well, I saw 2001 when it was first released (lo these many years ago, sigh), and
it had an intermission back then, too.  It came just after the scene where HAL
reads Bowman's and Poole's lips through one of the pod windows.

As I recall, it gave people a chance to become apprehensive about what HAL might
be up to, though I guess nowadays it isn't so important.
