HAL Sings “Daisy”, digital photo by Paul Dean. Earlier this evening I saw 2001: A Space Odyssey on the big screen at the Colony Theater, right here in Raleigh, North Carolina. It was well-attended but not too crowded, and excitement was in the air. I felt a tiny but definite chill as it ended, and contributed to the light applause. Afterwards, people hung around outside the theater as if we had experienced an event.
