As I mentioned the meeting on Friday, the restored Metropolis will be =
playing at the Avalon Theater starting on July 9th, see: http://www.theaval=
on.org/films/coming-soon/#metropolis .

No mention as to how long it will be playing at the Avalon.

And it would seem this new version is eligible for a Hugo nomination:

"3.3.7:   Best Dramatic Presentation, Long Form. Any theatrical feature or =
other production, with a complete running time of more than 90 minutes, in =
any medium of dramatized science fiction, fantasy or related subjects that =
has been publicly presented for the first time in its present dramatic =
form during the previous calendar year."

It would be amusing, no?

Anyway, having seen it here in Baltimore at the Senator (huge screen!) I =
say: treat yourself, go see the film.  Well worth it.  No special 3-D =
glasses needed!
