NP: 2001/Clarke's Xanadu (Jerk must know about this)

[Laura Kelber]

I'm always on the watch for large-screen showings of 2001, to take people
who haven't seen it to, or just to watch it by myself. My greatest
heartbreak was missing a screening with live orchestra accompaniment.  Also
recently missed a screening of Barry Lyndon, with live orchestra. That's
the new gold standard for me.
