Just saw 2001 at the New Varisty and it was a good print.  Its has held
up rather well over the years.  The story is still a little long with
too much heavy breathing.

The special effects (excluding the "to infinity" segment) are still good
even by todays standards.  The creativity and fun of antigravity are
impressive.  The landing sequence with the Blue Danube is a masterpiece.

The psychedelic segment has been copied some many times (including the
ABC network promo) that is all seems ho hum.

Haven't seen Brainstorm yet, but it should be interesting to see what
Trumbal has learned in 15 years!

By the way, Varsity showed the silent masterpiece "Metropolis" last
week.  The acting is strange but the imagery and metaphors were
stunning,.  Ever see it?
