Oh good, it finally has the correct lyrics

"The Militant's Song" has its basic lyrics now (subject to edits) and arrangement, and has claimed its proper title, "Life in the Underground (The Militant's Song)." The lyrics are, perhaps unsurprisingly, rather bitter towards the end.

OMG OMG OMG

COMPLETE PRINT OF FRITZ LANG'S METROPOLIS RECOVERED BY MUSEUM IN ARGENTINA:

Last Tuesday Paula Félix-Didier travelled on a secret mission to Berlin in order to meet with three film experts and editors from ZEITmagazin. The museum director from Buenos Aires had something special in her luggage: a copy of a long version of Fritz Lang’s Metropolis, including scenes believed lost for almost 80 years. After examining the film the three experts are certain: The find from Buenos Aires is a real treasure, a worldwide sensation. Metropolis, the most important silent film in German history, can from this day on be considered to have been rediscovered.

Spotted on my friendslist, posted by jwz here. The previous restoration (late 90s) had added a lot of recovered material from prints found across the world, and was the first restoration to make it more watchable as film than as history; it was the first that could be enjoyed as a movie, rather than as an historical artifact and lesson in film history. But there were still large sections missing, explained by cards. I loved it. But this... if you're not into film, I dunno how to describe it - it's like recovering the holy grail or something.

There'll be a long restoration process (one imagines) and I'll be hoping for global distribution in some form. They should take their time; they need to get it right, and they know what they're doing. But damn, I can't wait. ^_^
