I have a question of my own about 2001.  The original was filmed in
"Cinerama" (not cinemascope).  This means that three projectors, in sync,
were used to project three films onto three adjoining screens -- the audience
was surrounded about 180 degrees by the film (I have a friend who saw it
this way when it first came out).  The film was eventually converted to
cinemascope, which is how we see it now when it gets re-run.

The question is: Is the film ever shown in the original format anymore?  If
so, where can we see it?
