I have not seen this yet, but I was wondering if anyone else had, and what they thought.

I don't know what it is I'm doing wrong, but it's a cool video, trust me. Carrie Fisher Roasts George Lucas.

I am amazed that this is the first I've heard of it, but I guess it could have gotten lost with all these other big Sci-fi movies coming out, Tom Cruise's Oblivion, and Will Smith's After Earth.

Is this line of big action Sci-fi films coming out because of the success of Star Trek and District 9? I'm really surprised all these still happened, despite bombs like John Carter, and the Total Recall remake.

Do you think the fallout from the failure of this movie will be for Hollywood to start getting the mind set of, "this is not the kind of fantasy people want anymore. The general public is not interested in LOTR or Harry Potter type fantasy anymore; they want fantasy like Twilight,"? I fear that this will be the direction we will head for awhile.

This looks intersting. Anything Joss does I'm going to give a chance. I have reservations when Shakespeare is put modern settings. The juxtaposition created beween the dialogue and the visuals is diffcult thing for my mind to get over. It's cool to see a bunch of Joss regulars together in one project, like Fillian, Acker, and Denisof. It looks like he's doing something cool with color and black & white. I'll be interested to see what he uses that for. I'm interested in seeing it, but I doubt it will come to a theater near me, so I'll have to wait for a release on Netflix or something.

Interesting news regarding the Daily Show:

I like John Oliver, but I wonder how the show's tone might change with him as host. It will be interesting to see someone else behind the desk after Jon has been there for so long.

I saw this last night, and liked it. I was wondering what you thought of John Malkovich's performance. I thought he wasn't trying very hard, and could have been having more fun. However, thinking about it, that could be just from not having much to do.

I just saw the movie tonight. I like it. It's something I would have liked to take a date to when I was in high school.
Well said, Doc Sub, I agree. I felt less that Malkovich was being held back, and more that he was phoning it in.
The Twilight saga wishes that one of its movies was this movie.
I'd see it again.
I'd be interested in seeing it get the DiF treatment.

Is what your talking about different from "going to the mansion"? I think the kinds of things you're pointing out is a complete shift in tone, as opposed to something that slows down the movie's plot. Or is this two flavors of the same thing?

Why did they not just kill young Seth?
Did Abe not make it clear that he (they) won’t kill Seth because that would be too dangerous to the future?

RJ has said that time travel was not fully understood by the mobsters (they are criminals, not scientists) so that much of what they do is to not mess more with the timeline than absolutely necessary. That is why they close the loops by having the Loopers kill them selfs and thereby not affecting more people than themselves and the "marks" they are contracted to kill.

Alright, I have reached the level of "Shut up and enjoy the movie" haven't I? I can except the explanation of, their mobsters, not scientists. But I would think making a person a quadriplegic would endanger a person's fate almost just as much as killing him would.

I understand what you're saying, I still don't understand why they wouldn't just kill young Seth if they're willing to dismember him. In your example, would they just be worried about the body then?

To make Old Seth come back on his own. No cleanup, no questions asked. It's not so much about worrying, it's efficiency.

But isn't it much quicker, and more efficient to just shoot young Seth on the spot rather than kidnap him, recruit a surgeon, set up a make-shift surgery unit, scar the message in his arm, than start hacking off random parts of his body. I'm sorry to keep harping on this, but it's completely ruined this really awesome scene for me.

I can't imagine having the body around would cause that much of a problem. What could the police determine, "Man, it's an old dead guy with a liquidfied brain, that's fucked up." They couldn't determine how he died from that.

THE SCENE. All horror movies put together have not effected me like that single scene did the first time I watched it. Thank you for sharing that nightmare fuel with me. However, when I started to think about it, questions started to arise, and the scene began to break for me.

SPOILERS:

The question that kept coming up for me is that if they were willing to horribly disfigure Paul Dano's character (Seth) in order to get his old self to come back, why not just kill the the young Seth? They wouldn't have to worry about a body, because the old Seth would just disappear like Bruce Willis did. I understand if they did this you wouldn't be able to have that scene, but its still broken for me now when it was intially jaw dropping.

WARING: Considering recent events this video is fairly disturbing. Please be warned. If anyone wishes me to delete this post I will do it without hesitation. However, it is a twelve minute long single take, and I think it's very impressive. It is a depiction of a school shooting at a high school. I believe this is from a Germen TV show. If you want to understand what they are saying be sure to turn closed captioning on. Again, I don't wish to offend anybody by posting this, but I think the work is worth viewing.

This animated short was apparently made by one guy. I found it to be amazing.
