Looper & Friends
So this Looper movie that opened on Friday, it is indeed pretty good, and I'd highly recommend the JABberwocky client list, many/most of whom have an inner sf geek, go and see it. The barest bones of the concept: we have time travel, since time travel is illegal only criminals travel in time, and criminals are sent back 30 years to be offed, in fact there are dedicated specialists who take care of that. Every once in a while, the specialist gets to "close the loop," kiling the 30-years-in-future version of himself that's just been sent 30 years into the future's past. Yes, it's a time travel movie, so if this explanation is hard to follow don't blame me. And specifically here, the future has a guy called "the rainmaker" who is taking over the mobs en masse, closing loops en masse, sending all his enemies back in time. Joseph Gordon Levitt and Bruce Willis play the same dude, the +30 and the -30 versions. Bruce Willis doesn't want his loo...
