I finally found out the origin of a film still I'd saved a while back! Metropolis is probably pretty famous, I must live under a rock or something to not have known it, but it's a German sci-fi silent film. From 1927. Omg? Cyberpunk existed in the 20s??? I have to see thisssss




















This poster is cool, very Ludwig Mies van der Rohe


Mies van der Rohe's Glass Tower, 1921

I've realized there are so many sci-fi movies that I don't know about... and browsing the web for movie stills, I've come across tons of cool cyberpunk blogs and websites. I love the internet.

>>> On a kind of related theme I'm still loooving Bjork's hair buns. I'm totally doing this in the summer

My sci-fi geek friends keep setting quizzes about this film- I've never seen it either, but the posters and stills are unmistakable.

Also, hairbuns are awesome. I've been trying the Minnie Mouse version (two buns), and they're excellent for keeping hair off my face when it's hot.

If you loved that film, check out 'The Heart of the World,' a short by Guy Maddin. It has the same bizarre future-from-the-20's sort of feel.

I just got to your blog, and it's so interesting I went through almost all your archive. You have such an amazing sense of aesthetics!

Metropolis, this is a real classic, in fact this movie in the one from where Queen get the scenes from their song "Radio Gaga".
