I recall watching the re-release of “2001: A Space Odyssey” in Dolby stereo in the Fall of 1974 alone in the middle of the massive theater. The sound filled the room, complete with golden drapes, and I was totally immersed in this classic. The film had been re-marketed under the advertising tag line, “For the Ultimate Vacation, Take the Ultimate Trip” It was a sly appeal to students who would ‘get high’ to watch the final 20 minute light show at the end of the film. I had never seen it before, and it really made a big impression on me. I remember it to this day.
