From: dearborn%hyster.DEC@decwrl.ARPA (Randy Dearborn, Principal Graphic Designer, DTN 264-5090) When the film was originally released, it had an intermission. It was placed right after the scene where HAL reads the astronauts' lips. By putting the intermission back in during current showings, they are duplicating the way it was originally intended to be shown. Randy Dearborn DEC Merrimack, NH

From: unisoft!kalash@Berkeley > MGM is currently distributing ``2001'' WITH AN INTERMISSION built > into it! This intermission is of course rather jarring to the flow > of the movie. 2001 was originaly released with an intermission built right in. It comes just after Bowman and what's his name (sorry, its been awhile) have gone into the pod so HAL can't hear them. In fact, if you watch carefully as HAL is reading their lips, you will note that they are actually saying 'intermission' back and forth to each other, at which time intermission occurs.
