Read this story at the Guardian and tell me this isn’t from a movie of the week or role playing game scenario.

I loved Brazil, it is easily one of my top ten films. The movie is an Orwellian look into an England where the big brother society has crept in through regulation, paranoia and bureaucracy… hmmm nah, I don’t see that happening anywhere do you?

I thought I had posted these awhile ago, but a search showed me otherwise, here is a great gallery of color photos from World War One. These are French and the colors are washed out, but still very nice.
