Ah sorry man I didn't read your mail properly, I was talking about Metropolis the anime movie:

As for the classic old 1926 movie Metropolis, it's great but I haven't seen the new DVD release yet ...

This is one of my all-time favorite films!!! PLEASE tell me its B&W format was not tampered with and it wasn't given some sappy new score, as with the late 80s reissue!

Dude...it's about 1/3 longer than any previously released version...although 1/4 of the original Berlin release is still missing (perhaps forever), they explain those parts through title cards...they've returned the story to what it ACTUALLY was, BEFORE that damn American playwright (name escapes me) fucked it up...AND reproduced the original orchestral score straight from the conductor's notes!!! AND...best of all...the movie looks fucking fantastic! It honestly looks like they made it last month...un-fucking-believable...my fiancee and I put our old copy in the DVD player right after we finished watching the new version, and we couldn't believe our eyes. Seriously, if you love this movie, ORDER THE KINO VERSION RIGHT THE FUCK NOW!!! It's amazing. Check out amazon.com for more details...

Seriously...I've NEVER seen a movie so beautifully restored...If you guys don't buy this, I'll drive (or fly, in Ian's case) to wherever the fuck you live, and shove my old Metropolis DVD+case up your asscrack sideways...twice...

You've sold me. I'll buy my copy tomorrow.

Are you a general fan of German Expressionist cinema, KingSausage?

I'm a fan, but I would certainly never claim to have anything near wealth of knowledge about it. I do, however, fucking LOVE The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.

You've probably seen "Nosferatu," then. It's a favorite of mine.

Also "The Golem"
