This morning I saw that my video of Georges Méliès’ Le Voyage dans la Lune (A Trip to the Moon) is no longer blocked on YouTube. Its status now says “Visibility restrictions are lifted until the dispute is resolved.” That means it could disappear again.

Again, the is the complete version, with a celebration at the end, and the accompaniment is my original, improvised music. I did a better job this time than in my earlier public performances.

By the way, yesterday I saw the movie Hugo in the Plaistow Library. It would be a spoiler to explain exactly why that’s relevant to this post, but it’s an absolutely wonderful movie about fixing things and people that are broken.

For some reason, embedding the video in this post doesn’t work, but this link will take you to the video.

Update, August 11: The copyright troll still claims to own this 1902 movie. YouTube threatens a copyright strike against anyone who challenges such bogus claims, and it required me to submit a video of my face in order to contest the claim, but I’ve escalated again anyway.
