The Heart is the Mediator between the Hands and the Brain.
Those of you reading this from New York City, I'm jealous of
you right now. Those in Chicago, I'll be jealous of you
beginning August 16. I'll be jealous of those of you in
Cleveland October 25-27, and in Columbus on December 6-7.
In fact, from now through the rest of the year, I'm pretty
much guaranteed to be jealous of people in many major cities
in the US, if those people live in cities that have
exhibitions of the 2001 retored version of Metropolis. It's
not playing anywhere even remotely close to Little Rock,
Arkansas, and Kino is not even whispering a hint of a
release date for the dvd package until they have exhausted
the entire theater market (a trick they seem to have learned
from George Lucas).
To console myself, last night I bought a bootleg dvd of the
1984 Moroder version of the film off ebay. But I know it
won't be the same... even the trailer for the restored
version (which you can see -- along with the upcoming dates
and locations for theatrical screenings at
http://www.kino.com/metropolis/showtimes.html) gives me
chills.
Maybe someday I'll live somewhere cool. Oh well, at least I
got to see Over the Rhine in 1991. And I got to put out the
first cd by future popular culture icons Evanescence. But,
dangit, this still leaves just a little empty place in my psyche.
