Those were Cinerama screens. Multiple cameras filming and multiple projectors. I saw Grand Prix in Cinerama in the summer of ‘67.

Interesting that Dullea didn’t have more of a career.

A young Kier Dullea had a significcant part in
Madame XM/b> with Lana Turner.(1966) Without question the ending of that movie made it the greatest tearjerker in the history of movies.

HAL singing Daisy Bell was a reference to the Bell Laboratories work on computer text to speech. They used a 1950s era IBM mainframe that had vacuum tubes.

Went to see the movie 12 times in Japan, lost a prospective girl friend over it. After returning to the states, I spent two years of high school with the woman Keir would marry, Mia Dillon.

The Starlost actually had some great potential. Created by the great science fiction writer Harlan Ellison, it had some serious production problems, and Ellison left before the first episode aired. It also had Ben Bova as its science advisor.
Most everything was green screened. But they also had some good set pieces. Their spaceship miniature was recycled from the Bruce Dern science fiction movie Silent Running.

Went to see 2001 with my high school class.....I was the only one who understood the movie because I had read the book, so I had to explain it to everyone.

I was a senior in high school when 2001 came out. We drove up to Hollywood and saw it at the Cinerama Dome with the huge screen and astounding audio. So intense it deserved to be called something more than just a movie.

HAL: I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that. If you shift each letter in HAL one character to the right = IBM

The film actually preceded the book.

As a straight guy, I though Dullea was the most beautiful man I had ever seen. Even years later he is still very good looking.

“If you shift each letter in HAL one character to the right = IBM”
That was already debunked by Clarke himself, and even Kubrick. It was just one of those urban legends (according to both). ...maybe.
