I watched Snowpiercer last night. I mostly liked it. I enjoyed the first two thirds of the movie for what they were (slightly, but not totally dumb, action) but the final third was disappointing for me, and probably only because of one single line of dialogue. Why the fuck would Ed Harris want to turn over control of the train to this guy whose beliefs in how the train is run are completely antithetical to how Ed Harris knows it has to be run? Maybe if he planned on grooming him for it for a few years, but it really just seemed like "You don't understand that this is how it has to be, and you need to know your place, and here are the keys, you're in charge in now." I thought that was dumb.
