Will be shown on channel 2, 7:00pm *this* Thursday (relative
coordinates: tomorrow). Though it won't be quite the same as seeing it
on a big screen, with a nice sound system, the quality of the film (no
scratches, faded colors, cuts) should be better than the versions which
circulate to daily theaters like the New Varisty.

For the 2 or 3 of you who have yet to see it, it's definitely one of
*the* Science Fiction movies you must see. If you want to understand
what the ending is all about, read the novel, or talk to someone who
has.

In addition to the novel, Clarke wrote the book "The Lost Worlds of
2001" about the making of the film. This book includes excerpts from a
diary Clarke kept while working on the film and Novel with Kubrick
(which were done more or less simultaneously). It also contains several
alternate scenes, particularly the meeting with the aliens. I recommend
it for anyone who wants to understand the movie better, or is interested
in how movies and scripts are made. A copy is available in the Bayhill
S.F. library.
