A screening of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey<\/strong> in Los Angeles on Friday night was interrupted by someone apparently having an acid trip<\/a> during the climax.<\/p>\n

Although it could be some kind of stunt, this video shot inside the Egyptian Theater<\/a> makes for interesting viewing:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>IndieWire’s Todd McCarthy was at the same screening and he reports the following<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The Ultimate Trip turned into a bad trip Friday night at the American Cinematheque\u2019s Egyptian Theater on Hollywood Boulevard when one member of the audience at a screening of the Academy\u2019s 70mm vault print of \u201c2001: A Space Odyssey\u201d tried to recreate the late \u201860s a little too aggressively.<\/p>\n

Toward the end of the film, when Keir Dullea\u2019s Dr. Dave Bowman finds himself in an ornate bedroom after the trippy Stargate sequence, a voice started booming from the near-front center part of the nearly full house.<\/p>\n

The words were disjointed and mostly incoherent but included phrases like \u201cIt\u2019s time to sleep!\u201d and \u201cStanely Kubrick!,\u201d \u201cWait!,\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s time!\u201d and so on. With the film continuing to unspool, there was enough light to see that the ranter was a big burly guy who had now stood up, was waving his arms abruptly and lurching about unpredictably.<\/p>\n

Hoping the man would shut up and sit back down, the audience didn\u2019t do much at first, but it was soon clear the guy was tripping big time and was not going to respond to polite admonitions.<\/p>\n

Someone who seemed to know him tried to settle him but now the guy seemed provoked and was acting even more crazily.<\/p>\n

After a couple of minutes the film was turned off, the lights came up and someone presumably connected to the Cinematheque came down and told the guy he had five seconds to clear out.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

McCarthy’s opening line is referring to one of the posters from the original release, which had the tagline: “The Ultimate Trip”<\/p>\n
