Yesterday Dorkman came over, adding to our Geekza fun for the day. Afterwards, we batted around the idea of going to a movie, though couldn’t decide on anything that we’d all be willing to pay ten bucks for. But in our exploration, I discovered that 2001: A Space Odyssey was playing at the Egyptian in Hollywood, in all its 70mm glory. Regardless of anyone else’s reluctance, I had no choice but to go. 2001 is my favorite movie and the closest I had ever come to seeing this epic-of-epics on the big screen was watching the first few minutes of the DVD on the screen in the auditorium I worked in at Embry-Riddle.
Needless to say, last night was an experience.
