A serious Blast from the Past.

[Lupine]

I remember that. Sadly I rarely got to watch the movie that was coming up as it would air at 9:00 and I had to go to bed as it was a school night.

Here's another bit of nostalgia.

Even commercials back in the day were better than a lot of what's on now.

I bet nobody remembers this.

[Lupine]

I remember seeing Quisp cereal but not that particular commercial.

[4k, 60fps, colorized] (1927) Metropolis, Fritz Lang. Dance scene

[Lupine]

^I came across that the other day. Looks like the colorization was done with AI- which funnily enough makes it look like the old attempts at colorization. Specifically Doctor X.

Metropolis is still a cinematic masterpiece.

[RJDiogenes]

That's pretty amazing, for the most part-- it's funny, though, that they can't seem to repair the damage on those found clips. It does remind me of the kind of pastel tones of Doctor X.

I wonder if they will next develop lip-reading software that will turn silent movies into talkies.

Wow! That dancing woman had my attention Now I'm motivated to see Metropolis.

[Lupine]

^Like I said it is a great movie. I'm surprised you haven't seen it before.

[RJDiogenes]

Robo Maria's dancing scene is definitely one of the highlights, although also somewhat comical with all the exaggerated reactions.

You'd be surprised how many things I haven't seen that a normal person my age should have seen

...although also somewhat comical with all the exaggerated reactions.

I wonder if those exaggerated facial reactions were deliberate or just an instance of overacting or poor acting.

[Lupine]

^A style of the time actually. Movies were relatively new and most people were accustomed to acting on stage where exaggerated movements and expressions were needed to convey their emotions to a live audience.
