one perspective of Metropolis

Submitted by enpen on Mon, 04/14/2008 - 1:49pm.

In keeping with the spirt of archetypes, my experience of Enuma Elish's accompaniment of Metropolis at the OFS Capitol Theater will be in the form of a blog poem...bloem? poog? Yeah, here's my poog (with a mere two mouseovers).

Proposal for an OlyBlog date

Submitted by enpen on Wed, 04/02/2008 - 10:42pm.

I propose that OlyBlog have a semi-anonymous meet-up and reporting of an event.

What? Olympia Film Society's showing of Fritz Lang's Metropolis.

When? Sunday, April 13, 6:30pm.

Why semi-anonymous? Because too many people from OlyBlog already know each other for it to be truly anonymous (unless we all agreed to wear masks) and organizing a time for everyone to meet before the film is not something I volunteer to do.

What's the point? It should be fun, supporting OFS is a good thing for our community (in my opinion) and I think reading a bunch of different perspectives about the same event could be an edifying part of this OlyBlog experiment.

I had no idea my wife filmed this sideways when I uploaded it to YouTube. Sorry.

There are a few images I captured on my flickr pool.

I love OFS (a mouseover)

Submitted by enpen on Fri, 02/15/2008 - 12:01am.

Tonight while heading to the Wall I happened upon some new sign art on display in front of OFS. Thank you, OFS. It made my walk better. And if there's a way to do this for every movie...yes.

As well, I tried to find out who the artist is in order to give attribution, but the person at the door didn't know. I have my suspicions but if anybody else has fact for OlyBloggers and Olympians, that'd be even better.

Edit: Thank you for the information cupric oxide, and thank you for the art Vince Ryland & Ira Coyne.
