Metropolis poster


Metropolis, one of my favorite silent films of all-time recently played here in Tulsa with all the added footage that has made it a must-see for the film geek in 2010. The 1927 dystopian science fiction film directed by Fritz Lang while he was working at UFA (Germany's major film studio from 1917-1945) also has one of my favorite film posters. In fact, variations of this poster I've seen are also pretty mind-blowing as well. I so loved this female robot that when Dan Fritschie created the CineRobot propaganda poster in 2009, I asked him to channel his inner foxy robot--see CineRobot poster below for comparison.

I need to send you some more so you can drop off at Scarecrow and other film related places. SJ wants to come back to Seattle in 2011 for another visit, but not sure if/when that might occur.

also...still have to give scarecrow the stack you gave me, but it's not a big stack...so send more so i can spread them around.
it sounds like a song title 'inner foxy robot'...
