Lots of stuff going on tonight. Our apartment building seems to be having a party, so there are lots of people camped out on the little balcony off the first floor. The party only really got started around 11 or so, so I think it might be going on for a bit longer still.
I missed most of the party ruckus, though. Joe and I met at the Tivoli and saw Metropolis. Although my viewing of it was marred my a tall guy who sat in front of me for part of the picture and blocked the subtitles, I thought it was very, very good movie. The background animation was stellar and the plot was pretty good (like all anime, the end was a bit nonsensical), but I was a bit disappointed by the character animation. All the characters looked very stylized, and the didn't blend in well with the realistic backgrounds. Still, it was cool to see it in the theater. (It was almost worth the price of admission to see the people who were to watch it. A very different set of people from those you might normally expect to see at a movie.)
Well, it's late now, and I was dead tired before the movie started, so I think I'm going to try to get some sleep. We'll see if the party-goers will accommodate me.
