Call your travel agent. Gas up the Buick. Log on and head over to Travelocity. com. Whatever, just make your plans for the Seattle CINERAMA Theatre's 70mm Film Series.

2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY
January 27 and 29
February 3 and 5

The Seattle CINERAMA Theatre
2100 4th Avenue
(at Lenora St)

They describe the print as being in "B" condition. Who cares? It's 2001. It's on film. It's 70mm. It's a real Cinerama theatre. This is as close as we're gonna get to seeing 2001: A SPACE ODYSEEY the way it was seen back in April of 1968.

And most importantly, it's a huge step up from whatever kinda swanky plasma high-def LCD THX DTS home theater surround sound rig you watched it on last.

And did I mention this is FILM?

By the way, that image at the top is a frame from a 70mm print of 2001. The brown is the magnetic stereo soundtrack. Click on it and it grows!
