Has the restored version of Metropolis come out on DVD yet?
How many fucking times can they restore it? I swear it's gone through more editions than Bladerunner.
Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

They recovered a significant portion of the lost footage a couple of years ago.

This restoration added lost footage that was found in Germany. Actual Restoration! I think it was also tweaked to look clearer, IIRC.

I've seen 18 of those movies. I'm missing Metropolis, Day the Earth Stood Still, Primer, Moon, Ghost in the Shell, Inception, and District 9.

They have a blind spot about early 70s science fiction. I'd put Silent Running up there as well as Clockwork Orange. Maybe The Omega Man or Soylent Green.
ITA, David!

Art Crawl!!!
The story on ultraviolet light revealing what ancient Greek statues looked like when they still had their paint - it's elsewhere on i09.

I've only seen 20 on that list, but I think I should get credit for multiple viewings of (and total devotion to) most of the others.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

One of the films is called Big Tits Zombie (Konkyu Dragon)
A raucous crowd-pleaser that is definitely not for the whole family, this 3-D spectacle pits brassy strippers against a mob of the undead, which the ladies unwittingly revive by reading aloud from an ancient tome.

I think this headline is all one needs to know:
