Brazil was a great movie, but I did have to fight the urge to jump off a tall building for a few days after seeing it. Not in a good place emotionally right now. How likely is Snowpiercer to encourage similar feelings?

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Hey, if you look at it the right way, Brazil has a happy ending. He's safe with the girl far away from the city. Sorta.

Gar, I would say it is NOT a good place for your emotional state, I don't think, knowing the things about which you are passionate.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm just about done with The Girl Who Would Be King on Kindle, and it is GREAT. I just hope they get the casting right, because that's how this movie will live or die.

Very cool, tommyrot! Both those books sounded way cool and up my alley, but I've got so much else to read that to add more right now would just increase my stress. Will keep them in mind for the future, though.
(Yes, I did not download a book for free because it would stress me out to have it sitting there unread on my Kindle. Hi, I'm me.)
