>re: 2001.... years ago I bought a 16mm scope film print of 2001 also
included where some movie posters he had of the movie including the
one with the Guys walking in spacesuits 1 sheet think was style B or
something( which I sold) and then also a odd smaller poster in black
and white of the star child... it has a large dot matrix yet no copy
and always stumpted me where it came from... he said he had bought
the film print in 1972 so im not sure if he collected over the years
or what...the poster although small is folded and ive never know what
to call it or its date..perhaps it was part of a kit or somthing..I
think I still have it...maybe someone knows the history
