Emma's Book

Runaway VR

The sun chasing my skin, my bones, my body. 

I don't know how close it is, but all I know is that I can't look back. 

The past is in the past. 

I finally find shelter with a crowd of 30,000 angry protesters for human rights, and our earth is melting - crap!

Swishing past crinkled foreheads, I unleash my disguise from my heavy black bag. 

Hearing crowds screaming doesn't bother me, but the taste of fear gulped down my throat, calls out to me like a moth to a flame. 

My legs start aching with excruciating pain. 

I feel the urge to look back. 

I try to fight the feeling but it is too strong for me. 

I twist my head to see nothing. 

Absolutely nothing. 

I turn my head back forward to also see nothing. 

I see nothing until the pixels appear, making it feel like virtual reality. 

But its not just a feeling.

Gravity

Holding me back.

Gravity's holding me back.

I want you to hold out the palm of your hand.

Why don't we leave it at that?

Nothing to say,

When everything gets in the way.

Seems like you cannot be replaced

and I'm the one will stay

oh-oh-oh

In this world it's just us

You know its not the same as it was

In this world it's just us

You know it.

Barnyard Animals

[chords: ADA]

Well the cow in the meadow goes moo
 
Yeah the cow in the meadow goes moo
 
And the sheep in the field goes baa, baa, baa
 
Yeah, the sheep in the field goes baa
 
Then the guard dog comes, yeah the guard dog comes
 
And he rushes them into the barn

Then the guard dog comes, yeah the guard dog comes
 
And he rushes them into the barn

Yeah rushes them into the barn
 
Well the birds in the cage go squawk

Yeah the birds in the cage go squawk

And the chicken in the grass goes cluck, cluck, cluck

Yeah the chicken in the grass goes cluck

Then the farmer comes, yeah the farmer comes

And rushes them into the coup

Rushes them into the coup

Suck it up!

When I’m on a holiday

Not everything goes right.

But do you know what I do?

I fight and I fight.

Metropolis Japan 1929 release

Image
Metropolis, die-cut cover of 4 page advertisement, Japan 1929. メトロポリス Introduction Fritz Lang's classic German silent film Metropolis premiered in Japan at the Syoitiku Kinema, Yurakucho, Tokyo on 3 April 1929. It was shown with a local second feature Kamiyama Ara (Spray of Blood) starring Ookawati Denzirou. The Japanese release took place two years after the German premiere in Berlin on 10 January 1927. It appears that the version seen was that edited by American playwright Channing Pollock and released by Paramount, rather than the longer UFA director's cut. During its initial Japanese run in 1929 we know that the movie travelled to Osaka, Kyoto and Nagoya Koube. In September of that year it was screened at the Akita Yanagimachi theatre in Akita City, with the renowned benshi Izumi Tenmine narrating.  Metropolis screening, Akita Theatre, Yanagimachi, Akita City, Japan, September 1929. An advertisement for this screening is reproduced below. The cinem...
