these shots of metropolis are so fucking damaged and awful
why even bother including them?
they just take away from the movie
for the sake of completeness, desu
there's some great restorations out there but aren't complete
it's like with the devils. the only way to watch the "rape of christ" sequence is on shitty bootleg quality because warner bros. won't allow an uncut release of it

ohhh that's why the devils cut to that grainy shit?
i hated that part it looked so awful compared to the majesty of the rest of the movie

Just in case you are not aware, you are a huge disgusting pleb. Stick to the perfect digital imagery of Marvel

I know what you mean in that it's jarring. It's great to actually see the footage, but honestly, I preferred the 2007 Restored Version, which doesn't include the newly-discovered footage. It kind of drags out the movie on scenes we don't need to see (like that literal-who guy exploring Yoshihara).
It's kind of like the Assembly Cut of Alien 3, or the "Director's Cut" of Exorcist 3, the latter of which jumps to VHS footage which, on Blu Ray, almost defeats the point of watching it. See pic related.
That said i am glad that it is at least there and available, though the 2014 release should have had the 2007 version.
It makes me wonder what will happen when we find the shit that is in really bad shape. Like, if someone actually finds some moldy Brazilian copy of The Magnificent Andersons, or some lost copy of the 8-hour Greed. How laudable would it be if the stuff looked like pure garbage?
