...Metropolis is acknowledged as one of the most important and influential works in the history of film. Its - for its era - avant-garde special effects and visual flourishes not only inspired some of the finest science fiction films of the 20th century, such as Ridley Scott's Blade Runner and Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey; the unique aesthetics of the film left its mark on numerous fields of popular culture, from comic books such as Superman to music videos by Madonna...

X Pop Culture MCCAIN's latest star turn on Saturday Night Live was (to borrow his applause line) "crazy exciting." Two bits of comedy addressed his age and the unending Democratic race with dandy timing and delivery, serving to remind Democrats that they are facing...
