There where three things that made the screening of the newly restored Fritz Lang masterpiece an unforgettable experience, the breathtaking look of the restored film was like nothing I've seen before, the additional film from the Buenos Aires Museo del Cine 16mm dupe negative discovered in 2008 that was considerably longer than any existing print. It included not merely a few additional snippets, but 25 minutes of "lost" footage, about a fifth of the film, that had not been seen since its Berlin debut in 1927. But it was the live soundtrack composed and performed by Boston based Alloy Orchestra that made the whole evening come together, their fresh contemporary score enhanced the story, giving new life to the familiar and unfamiliar scenes. I highly recommend seeing The Complete Metropolis in the theatre with live accompaniment, but if you can't the DVD or Blu-ray is a must, and will not dissapoint.

Build them in your own home with this organic chemistry model set. If you want to look smart, it's either this or a DNA model on your shelf, and this one's cheaper. For organic students, this set it pretty darn good. The atoms are solid; the different bonds are flexible plastic of varying lengths. Lots of attention to detail: Each atom has the slots drilled at precisely the right angles - so when you build a carbon compound (black balls), the atoms end up being exactly 109.5 degrees apart from each other. Pretty cool, huh? The flexible plastic make it super easy to learn Newman projections, as well as demonstrate steric, angle and torsional interference. Just a wee bit of cons: Pricey at $40 whopping dollars, but that;s due to the quality and being made by MolyMod in England. A bit lacking in Carbon, with only 14 atoms in total, so don;t expect to build anything too big. Lastly, the nature of the plastic makes it hard to accurately 'see' some cyclic structures and and play with chair conformations, but there are other sets that specialize in that.
