I just watched [movie x here]
Lupercal:
I recently re-watched Ted. I just see it as a live-action Family Guy. Most of the voice cast are in it, anyway.
Looper I think is great due to the fact that the premise on explaining time travel goes thusly:
"Okay, I'm going to explain how time travels works, and I'm only going to say this once: go fuck yourself"
Just for the record, is the incompetent guy the guy who lets his future self go, or the guy who blows his toes off with that huge pistol? Also, Bruce Willis seemingly gave a shit about his performance, which cannot be said about the franchises he is hanging on to, like the last 2 Die Hards and Red/Red 2. The pace change is quite weird, because the first half of the film sets up for a climax between Abe's crime syndicate and Joe (and a simultaneous revelation between older Joe and the Rainmaker) but it all becomes a bit buried. Still brilliant though, the kind of sci-fi I think modern cinema needs, and certainly a good break from comic book SF and the kind of Back to the Future explanations that have no space in a film dealing with murder and drug abuse.
Thrillho:
Yeah it pretty much was just that. Some parts of it were quite funny. Ryan Reynolds' cameo with Patrick Wartburton was hilarious, as was basically everything Warburton said.
And yeah I mean the guy who blows his toes off. I mercifully thought they just killed him off halfway through when he fucked up yet again, but no, somehow he is still around.
And yeah it's still a great film, I love the concept and the explanation. It's so simple but so perfect, like a real loop. It certainly has more original ideas than a lot of sci-fi around at the moment.
Thomas Edison:
Speaking of Looper, I had a chance to rewatch Brick at work the other day.
It was the first feature length from Rian Johnson, same director as Looper (and the Ozymandias episode of Breaking Bad), and it's pretty cool in a noir-set-in-modern-high-school way.
Welu:
I watched Brick for my media class (the first time I took it and was a dumb seventeen year old) and all I can remember is one of the character's looked identical to a lad I had a crush on back then. This made writing an analysis of it quite hard because we watched it in class and I couldn't find a copy to rewatch.
ackblom12:
Brick and Looper are both amazing movies to me. For Looper though, my favorite thing outside of the middle finger to explaining time travel was that TK was a totally useless power for everyone but the kid.
