    Wow. If Music Box was a Cinerama style theater I’d be making me a 12 hour drive for 2001 projected and Gary Lockwood to boot.

    Hey, I bought Lockwood’s autobiography when he attended a convention. There’s a lot of interesting stuff in that — Lockwood had met Neil Armstrong somewhere, and states they patterened Bowman in 2001 after him.

    Ha! A couple of years back our local “retro” cinema played 2001 (in 70mm), which in itself is not that unusual (yay!) but we got both Lockwood AND Dullea. A most cool evening was had ….

    I asked Dullea if he had been to Australia often and he said the last time he was here was also for a 2001 presentation … at its Australian debut!
