I'm not in the UK and haven't seen a recent movie for Asterix, (but am thoroughly intrigued and will have to check it out) but when I was much, much younger I saw the cartoon "The 12 Tasks of Asterix". I loved it, especially the Place That Sends You Mad.
I think it's amazing the places our HPs find to get what we need to hear/read in front of us. I'd picked up a copy of
Rainbows End by Vernor Vinge, simply because I fell in love with the worlds in his ex-wife's writings (her books:
Snow Queen and
Summer Queen, among others), and was struck by the following quote:
I think you’re right that he’s got a problem. But, you know sometimes, well…there’s something you have to learn as you grow up. Some people make their own problems. And they never stop hurting themselves and messing up the people around them. And when that’s the case, then you shouldn’t keep hurting yourself for them.
