Asides

Sorry, I have to cancel tonight’s silent film show due to computer issues. My laptop refuses to connect to the Internet, even though my other devices have no problem.

Tomorrow as I post this (April 10, 2024) at 8 PM Eastern Time I’ll accompany Fritz Lang’s 1927 silent film, Metropolis, on Twitch. It’s one of my favorites, with a futuristic city, an evil robot, and probably the first full-blown mad scientist’s lab in a movie. Twitch left my last two shows up for on-demand playing for about a week, and I assume they’ll do the same with this one, so you can catch it even if the show time is inconvenient. This is the restored 2 ½ hour version, and there will be a 10-minute intermission to give my arms a rest.

If you’re near Plaistow, NH, you can catch me accompanying it in person at the Plaistow Library at 1 PM on Friday, April 12.

A preview scene with my accompaniment is up on YouTube.

Within the past month, my WordPress site has stopped sending me emails telling me there are pending comments, or at least I’ve stopped receiving them. This will mean longer delays before I notice a comment and approve it (or, in rare cases, reject it). HostGator keeps getting worse. Sorry.
