Planning on seeing at least '2001'. It will be nice to see this film again on a large screen. Too bad that the theater doesn't have the ability to show the 70mm print. It will be the road show presentation with entrance music, exit music and intermission.

Yeah, bummer, but it still is the big screen, but like you I'm looking forward to seeing this as a film. Maybe I'll see you there, although a more appropriate forum meeting would be The Day The Earth Stood Still!

I'm going to the Sat. showing of "Forbidden Planet" & "Shrinking Man."
I fell in love with that theatre during the 3-D fest. I went back to see "Modern Times" "Wizard of Oz" and "The Last Laugh."

This was posted on another web site that I frequent called Cinema Treasures about the showing of '2001' in 35 mm at the Lafayette Theater.

No, we don't currently have 70mm capability at the Lafayette, but we do have excellent 35mm with DTS Digital stereo and Dolby SR analog stereo sound. 70mm is something we're considering, but the costs are rather high for the few prints we could get to run.
