I wish I could have been there, too. I wonder if the conductor led the orchestra through a version of "Happy Birthday To You"?

One of my favorite trailers of all time ... From 1979, Real Life, by Albert Brooks in 3-D!

Sunday night at Grauman's Chinese Theatre as part of the TCM Classic Film Festival (with a full run scheduled at Laemmle's Royal starting May 14), a 2-hour, 27-minute version of Lang's film will get its North American debut after a rapturous world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival.

This "Metropolis," which will be accompanied by a live performance by the always compelling Alloy Orchestra, is 25 minutes longer than any version seen in more than 80 years. Because Lang's picture is an icon of the silent era and the foundation stone of science-fiction cinema, this news has electrified fans and scholars of early film. Finding this new material was, as Glenn Erickson of the Web column DVD Savant put it, "akin to recovering lost books of The Bible." Experts were so certain it was lost that a restored version of "Metropolis" completed in 2002 was declared definitive.

(Pic related -- it's approx. the time you should arrive at the theater)

I am seeing it, it's screening at the SF Silent Film Fest in July.

Alloy Orchestra will be playing it, too.
