So... a buddy-cop movie. Two cops, partners, who work in the Staring at Goats division of the NYPD or LAPD. One is about to retire - just one more week of staring at goats. But then....
Can you tell I never read the book?
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Can you tell I never read the book?
Nope.
I think your movie should star Chris Tucker and a goat, and the ghost of Chris Farley.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
And the one cop is always saying, "I'm too old for this <gruff>."

Restored uncut Metropolis will premiere at Berlin Film Festival:
BERLIN -- The Berlin Film Festival will screen Fritz Lang's original cut of "Metropolis," which was feared lost but discovered in an Argentine museum last year, at a gala ceremony on Feb. 10, the Berlinale said Thursday.
The cult sci-fi classic, penned by Lang and Thea von Harbou in 1924, was the most expensive film ever made in Germany when it bowed on Jan. 10, 1927.
After it bombed at the box office, the UFA studio re-edited the silent film, cutting about 30 minutes. It re-released it to great acclaim eight months later.
The outtakes were feared lost but a 16mm negative of the original was found in Buenos Aires. The original has since been restored by the Murnau Foundation in cooperation with pubcaster ZDF, Gallic-German cultural web Arte and the Deutsche Kinemathek.

Or maybe Jackie Chan, who's an exchange Goat Stare-er from the... Hong Kong Police Staring at Goats department....

Jesus, how many different restorations of Metropolis do we need? It's gone through as many iterations as Bladerunner.

After this, hopefully none. This will be the first time the complete film has ever been seen since it's original release.

So I need one more movie for my 3 for €16 from play.com. Galaxy Quest or Memento?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Have you seen either of them before?
