I recently got a DVD copy of Metropolis that has a lot of extra footage I had never seen before. The idea of it being colourised makes me ill. It is what it is... and what it represent is history.

I hate this 're-imaging' and dumbing-down of classic films, etc to appeal to a mass maket that has been raised on MTV, video games and with short attention spans.

[i:f0b0d1ff2c]Citizen Cane[/i:f0b0d1ff2c] [i:f0b0d1ff2c]Rebecca[/i:f0b0d1ff2c], [i:f0b0d1ff2c]The Ghost and Mrs. Muir[/i:f0b0d1ff2c], and  [i:f0b0d1ff2c]A Christmas Carol[/i:f0b0d1ff2c] (with Alister Sim as Scrooge) are some black and white classics, that I could not imagine having as powerful an impact color.  A modern remake of each of them have been made and were compared to the originals.

I would wlecome new films being shot in black and white when it enhances the story.  But I think that the people in the industry don't think there are enough of us to make it profitable for them, so they don't.

Speaking of cinema: though I admire Kenneth Branagh greatly, I really do wish someone else would produce a film based on a Shakespeare play, for a change.  Perhaps another Sir Anthony Hopkins production?  Cheers

I confess that I loved Branagh's version of Much Ado About Nothing, as well as Hamlet.  But wouldn't it be fun to see Jim Carrey do Macbeth?

A Christmas carol with Alistar Sim, I remember it well, an excellent film. I remember watching some old Laurel and Hardy films some years ago that had been colourised the film lost all its charm. Films that have been made in black and white should be kept that way.

I have the "Music Box", colorized.  I fade out the color and increase the contrast, it is not the same, but is much better than in color.

I have another, I forget the name at the moment.  Laurel and Hardy are building a house.  I think this one was colorized by Hal Roach Jr.'s company.  There is a scene in it that is funny because it was colorized.  The scene is a converstation between the two of them, during with the image switches between them.  With each cut, their overalls kept changing colors, from deep jeans blue, to faded olive drab, to khaki tan and back again.  If you look at the picture with the color faded, it seems to me that overals they were wearing to film the scene were engine men overalls, the off-white/grey with tiny blue piping, like the old time outfits of railroad engine crews.

An excellent film, I think it has to have been their best one.

Just wanted to tell that the second season of Big Brother started yesterday : most of the participians are totally illeterated , one of them is naked and have to stay naked till the end of the show (No, it's not a woman ) , and the others can't build a simple sentence correctly. This IS irritating!

You are only up to the second season of big brother there?  Is it a local version or an export fom America?  Here they are about to start Big Brother 5 or is it Big Brother 6?  I have not been following those program so I am not certain which number is current.  If that is what normal "real people" are like, we are all in trouble!

It's a local version. You mean these who took part of the american version 2 were illeterated too , and there was a naked one? This show is just stupid they're going to make these 15 "real people" (which are as I said very mediocre) paint the house , fishing in a pool and take care of animals such as sheep and hens in order to get food and cook it.  I seriously doubt they can do this. It's stupid even for an agricultular show. I'll not be surprised if a new agricultural show starts soon...
We are in Big Trouble !
