I watched Apollo 18 last night. Really great take on the premise of “evil aliens in spaaace”.

Watched Ted for the first time.
It is not deserving of it's praise, I chuckled at one thing. Then, that was it. It also reminds me of Wilfred, likely continuing McFarlane's trend of ripping off other TV shows. |
Except Wilfred is good.
To be honest, I didn't find Ted that bad, but it certainly didn't stand out, and it annoys me that everybody's raving about it purely because Seth McFarlane made it. |

I take it you didn’t like it?

Saw Looper. It was pretty good, but not great. Ending kind of bothered me.
|
:
Yeah, Ted was essentially Family Guy the movie, the only time I really laughed was the scene where they were talking about letting Jews into their restaurant. |
Watched the new episodes of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia and Walking Dead. Sunny was better, but surprisingly, the new Walking Dead wasn't that bad either. At least not as bad as some of the S2 episodes. Michonne seems like an interesting character.

But I may have been a little stoned when I watched it. I'd say there might even be a pebble of truth to it. |
:
but seriously, that movie was out of this world |
I didn't actually see it. I just remember seeing the trailer, and thinking "Oh, it's Paranormal Activity in space."

Also the big twist is that the moon is made of tiny rock spiders |
I mean... You're not serious, right?

Plus their behaviour and habits are very similar, they both drink and smoke bongs. |
:
why did they dismantle the one looper? why didn't they just kill the young joe? they had their chances - the older joe would have just disappeared. why didn't the older joe take any precautions to avoid his or his wife's death. he had 30 years! also, if in the end the young boy wouldn't turn into the evil rainmaker, there wouldn't be this looping business in the first place |

so the rainmaker has the idea of killing the loopers by sending them back in time. so when the young boy won't become the rainmaker there won't be this "closing all the loops" thus there won't be the contract of killing your elder self. ---> no bruce willis in the past ---> no danger for the kid ---> no suicide of the younger joe ---> kid still wouldn't become the rainmaker because he needs the alternative reality of his mom getting killed. also why don't they just send the loopers or whoever 200 years or better, 5 billion years back to the past (no earth) - you wouldn't need any loopers at all. ALSO, why don't they just kill the people and send the dead bodies into the past? they killed joe's wife (by accident) and dragged her body to the time machine. and really what was the purpose of dismantling the one looper? they kept the young looper alive and tortured him. only for the fun? and if the younger one looses his finger for example, why should the elder one looses his one too? there's no history of that, the only possible one would be that he escaped or survived for 30 years. but like OANST pointed out, it wasn't intended to be logical. but it still bugs me. |
Time travel movies never make sense when broken down. Never.
|
yeah but some handle the idea that there's only a deterministic reality where the characters fulfill the coming events.
like twelve monkeys for instance - as a kid bruce willis watches as his elder self gets shot on the airport, but he doesn't know that the man is he himself. he isn't even sure that this is only a dream or a memory. every time when he thinks back about what he saw, the memory is slightly different because that's the way memory works. he builds characters into his memory that weren't there. he could have changed his faith as soon as he realized that it was him being shot. but he had difficulties deciding whether he was sane or not, so his actions were plausible. |
SHUT UP I ENJOYED IT

ME TOO

WELL GOOD THEN

Loopers always got killed by themselves at the end. That's why they're called loopers. The Rainmaker just started closing all the assassin's contracts early so no-one could try to bump him off.
The things I do object to are the TK mutation, which was a bit too much (Rainmaker Kid could just have been a hyperintelligent psychopath or something), and the whole "dismantling man" scene. I'm not pedantic, really, I know it's just a movie, but it should at least be consistent. I mean, when Joe blows himself through the chest Bruce Willis just vanishes. Fine. He died, never got there, ceased to be present; hardly realistic but whatever this is sci-fi. He doesn't suddenly develop a scarred wound over his chest like that sweaty JennyGenesis lookalike did with his fingers. People say "yeah but Bruce Willis died, he couldn't have moved, this guy was alive". What they are saying is that future JG man managed to run around for 30 years with no feet and no wheelchair. |
