I remember when it played one of those movies played locally. No
I didn't see it either. 

I don't know if your joking about the suggestion of making smelly
stereo mounts, but hey that's a great idea! We don't have to wait
for RBT or 3M, we can make our own. Here are some suggestions/examples.

For 3-D shots of pine trees or forests, spray some pine scent air
freshener on the preferably card board mount and before mounting.
City shots with cars, traffic, etc. Stick some mounts in the muffler
for a short while. Shots around garages, dip it in gas or insert in a
bottle with motor oil and close it with some mounts so the vapors can
get at it, for a day or so. Close up shots of aromatic flowers of
course would be easy. Theres also those concentrated aromatic oils.
that can be utilized. The list is endless!

One other suggestion, the smell would permeate better with those
open-air cardboard viewers rather than the bakelite type. For projection,
feeding the vapors into the intake of the projection fans will help
spread the smell around pretty fast! Problem is solving how to change
smells quickly! ;-)
