read the hot deals rules ..


What about ETHICS?

If you question whether a deal is real or a mistake, call or write the company, and ask. If it is a valid deal, post it. If it isn't, DO NOT post it, and DO NOT complain about it.
 
I ordered it.
If it wasn't from Amazon I probably wouldn't go for it.
They have excellent customer service, so if they try charging me more and I complain, it shouldn't be a problem.

it's also interesting that they have an actual graphic saying "save 93%" or whatever it was.

kewl,

Metropolis is probably the first science fiction move. It was very advanced for it's time.

Anybody else seen it here?

yup. actually the first science fiction film was probably something by george melies about 25 years earlier - "Voyage to the Moon"

Edit: of course, if you mean science fiction with a developed plot, you're probably right.
 
cool, It's been along time since I've bought a dvd off a price mistake...I hope this one comes in.

Oh checked over at BN.com and it say's it comes with the following movies.

The Beloved Rogue
The Birth of a Nation
Cabinet Of Dr Caligari
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
The General
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Intolerance
Metropolis
Nosferatu, The Vampire
Orphans of the Storm
The Phantom of the Opera
The Battleship Potemkin

The movies listed in a post above was for the 8 movies version of this.
I also heard Birth of a Nation is supposed to be super racist, I remember people boycotted a film class at my college because they played this movie.

FWIW: Birth of a Nation is about the civil war and its aftermath. It is a bona-fida classic. I believe it is an anti-war diatribe. It also show the birth of the KKK in a very positive light.

It was directed by one of the earliest great american film makers, DW Griffith. This presents a common dilema with artists. There is no shortage of great artists who have taken horrific points of view, and worse put it into thier works. There was another great film maker, a woman, who made artistically ground braking films for the Nazis. There was the american film maker, Elia Kazan, who made such classics as "On the Water Front" and "Amerika". (By the way, every film with Kazan's name on it is well worth seeing.) He named names for Joe McCarthy and the House Commity on Un-American Activities in the '50s. For years after that the people he named could not get work. After the McCarthy era was over Hollywood blackballed him up until a couple of years ago. Not everyone will agree with this, but I think that Jane Fonda did something horrendous by going to North Vietnam during the war. One of the most famous poets of the earlier part of the 20th century was Ezra Pound who moved to Italy because he liked Mousalini. And the list goes on and on. I like art. I think is it essential and stimulating, but being a great artist doesn't make anyone morally, politically, ethically or in any other way superior to anyone else. Personally, I have decided to separate thier worth as artists from thier political or other views. Its the only way to stay sane. Thier accomplishmints as artists can't be denied.

I am reminded of that Seinfeld show where everyone got hot on the abortion issue. Everyone was trying to figure out everyone else's view on abortion. If they found someone that had the wrong view they stopped talking to them, or going to the owner's restaurant, etc. Life became impossible for everyone.

Another one was, The Village Voice's reveiw of the Beasty Boys first album had the headline "3 jerks make art".

 
A little thread crap. These are released by Delta which isn't even close to Kino or Image in image quality. The quality might be a little better than Madacy releases but not by much.
