This is a heads-up from your beloved Baron!
On Sunday November 7 at 8:00 pm ET, Turner Classic Movies will be showing the recently refound and restored version of Metropolis, having restored to the film much of what had been lost earlier in the 20th century due to ham-handed executive meddling.
So, if you're a fan of the great grand-daddy of modern science fiction you'll be there on November 7th with popcorn in hand.

Metropolis - The Restoration
Metropolis Refound
Be there, or else.

The Triplets of Belleville
I found this odd little movie about a year ago and, while not anything like a fan of bicycle racing, found it to be an entertaining picture.
It starts out with a young boy, named Champion, left in the care of his grandmother, an impressive woman in her own right, after the death of his parents.
While trying to find some way to cheer the boy up she gets him a little red tricycle that sets the stage for the rest of his life.
After employing what has to be one of the most interesting training regimens I've yet seen he gets into the Tour De France.
But during the course of the race he gets kidnapped, and then the real adventure begins...
This is only a short preview but I think you'll find it worth the time it takes to set up a Veoh account to watch it in it's entirety.
Update-3/21/08: Veoh has removed the video from their servers, the link will be updated once another copy is found.
Update-3/22/08: Youku now has the movie in two parts, links below.
Update-5/29/09: There are now more permanent links for the movie below.
Update-5/11/13: You know what, nevermind... every time I find a place to host the file the site gets taken down, so you're on your own finding the movie. Good luck.

The Cyclists Special - 1955
Made by the British Transport Films, these clips show a typical cycle outing on Sunday, May 8th, 1955...
It almost makes me wish I owned something in tweed.

Real patriots ride bikes.
Ok, I'm unashamedly borrowing this one from today's post on the Commute by Bike blog because it's just that cool.
