RIGHT NOW: RESTORED CUT OF FRITZ LANG'S "METROPOLIS" STREAMING FROM BERLIN

[thehefner]

A couple years back, someone found over an hour of lost footage from Fritz Lang's METROPOLIS, and they're finally premiering the new cut in Berlin, streaming online. Today. Right now.

Here's the direct link if the (French subtitled) video doesn't load or show up: http://j.mp/9SS92S

The dialogue won't be in English, but it's a silent film, so how hard can it be to follow?



EDIT: It *still* hasn't officially started. They're still doing interviews and whatnot. Oh my god, I'm so bored and confused. Hell with this, I'll probably just wait for the new DVD, or maybe when it hits the AFI Silver.

Nooooo! Watch it with meeeeeeeeeee! Don't wait!

Sorry, I shouldn't have been trying to watch it anyway. I have to get ready for my drive south to Tuscaloosa tomorrow! I'm off on another epic road trip!

No worries, apparently the livestream is just a projection onto a screen from waaaaaaaaaayyy back, so it's really hard to see anyway.

However, OMG, jealous. Go to the Falafel Hut and Papa's College Custard for me. Dear God, how I miss those places. Best friends lived in Tuscaloosa for two years. Plus, it was always so warm, esp. compared to this snow crap. *pouts*

Yeah, I just noticed that! WTF, Berlin?!

Yes, but the Crimson Tide. Everywhere with the Crimson Tide! Ugh!

Haha, well, you know. When in Rome, any excuse for a party, and all that. Just enjoy it while you're there.

(After spending all that time around UK's basketball team, I was kind of used to college sports obsessives. At least UK has prettier colors, though.)
