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.
I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think your movie should star Chris Tucker and a goat, and the ghost of Chris Farley.
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.
Galaxy Quest!

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?
Fiona - Oct 30, 2009 10:59:46 am PDT #4762 of 30000
I've seen them both.
Memento would be more for my Film History class - a surprisingly large number of students chose it as a favourite movie - and Galaxy Quest would be for me. Decisions decisions.
My other two movies are The Player (for class) and Brazil (for me and for class).
Edit: I guess it might come down to whether it's the version of Galaxy Quest with the Thermian commentary track.
