Girgio Moroder’s Metropolis was a great soundtrack.
The move was “meh” but amazing for the time.
The book is actually amazingly bad.
Didn’t realize it was based on a book. Good recommendation. I’ll save my Amazon purchases for something else. Agree on the soundtrack, but I did enjoy the movie, too.
Offtrack, I’ve noticed several uses of “meh” on FreeRepublic and I was wondering if anyone knows the origins of “fegs”? It’s used in a poem from 1787 by Henry Livingston and I’m assuming it means “shrug,” which sounds similar to “meh”.
Believe me dear brother tho women may be
Compared to us, of inferiour degree
Yet still they are useful I vow with a fegs
When our shirts are in tatters & jackets in rags.
Henry was actually big into humor and was quite the feminist for his time. Also a futurist. He wrote about traveling to the moon, societies on various planets and the dinosaurs that once roamed the Hudson Valley in New York.
