        Awesome news. I had always heard that the entire film told a totally different tale. I look forward to seeing it. Now find London After Midnight!

          I remember first watching this movie over Christmas break when I was around nine years old or so, on one of the PBS stations, I think it was Channel 13.

          They used to show old movies a lot, especially during the holidays.

          I saw Nosferatu, Phantom of the Opera, etc.

          But this was one of the most intense movies I remember seeing.

          What struck me most was the visual of the underground workers shuffling into the elevators as they changed shifts. They were all in grey rags, with their heads down, and no emotions on their faces.

          All of their kids were dressed in rags too, and looked like half starved puppies.

          Real intense images when your only nine.

          I had nightmares about it for weeks.

          But it's still one of my favorite movies.

            I'm excited for it too.

            The Fritz Lang's Metropolis complete. - Mego Talk
            You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                I guess I'll be watching this movie for the 11th time, then....

                Just went to see it in a theatre three months ago!
                The "short" version....

                  Sweet news! Can't wait to see the "full" version
                  Capt. Kirk: "Is there anyone on this ship, who even remotely, looks like Satan?"
                  Mr. Spock: "I am not aware of anyone who fits that description, Captain"
                  Capt. Kirk: "No, Mr. Spock, I didn't think you would be"
