I have watched half 3 times now, just after he falls backwards from the railing the second time. I think I know what's going on now. I am slow I guess. Interesting about the co-produced situation & how it sidesteps certain govt regulations in China, even with nudity. Hollywood hypnotises the masses & China holding the reigns, wow. Wonder what that movie ends like?
Oops, I meant to hit quote, but hit thank you. Usually, in movies, the memes are "too many people on the planet" or "running out of resources" or "being human is bad, becoming an alien is good", I could go on and on, but that is not what this thread is about. In Looper, you have mental powers because of mutation, but in our world, you gain mental powers through "other entity assistance", which in Christian parlance is demonic possession (as soon as you get rid of the demon, the subject looses their powers). So Looper teaches you that if your child is possessed by a really powerful demon, you just need to give the child extra love until he can control the demon (verses getting rid of the thing and saving your child).
Sorry? Theres Daemons in this movie? And there I was thinking the movie was just about time travel. Though, it does seem that you write this from a fairly strong Christian viewpoint... I admire your passion.
I'm not sure? Anybody got answer? Seems it didn't do alswell as supposed in China, they mixed up the yuan conversion. http://beta.guardian.co.uk/film/2012/oct/04/looper-chinese-box-office-error How different is the "Sino-centric" version released in China? It's 8 minutes less, missing scenes of drug use, sex scenes & ultra violence. http://www.chinahearsay.com/looper-and-the-chinesification-of-film-co-productions/
What about Die Hard 3 where there is a huge distraction is created and the crooks go for the gold? Wall street two is interesting for the way that silver is used in props and then how it is portrayed at the end of the movie in Geko's London office. JFK, the silver zippo. Or generally a life giver, a lot of movies have silver water containers in them while gold is portrayed as something of frivalace value like jewellery. The mood that I have picked up on latley is a genral sadness or a sence of loss.
I've got a silver round in the bottom of my water purifier to keep the water clean (inhibit algae, mould, etc) Great quote btw, Frank Zappa was a rock star right? Wonder what year he said that?
Nice movie and even nicer bars. Of course they were fake, when he was stacking them the sound was WRONG.
Yes Frank was a rock star here's one of his big hits. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncbJT7i5rGo&feature=relmfu
I disagree with Zappa being a rock star. Rock Stars don't have the work rate of Zappa... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Zappa_discography Yes, thats 61 albums - plus another 31 posthumously! Rock Stars simply do not have that creative ability. Zappa is something else, someone who can transcend genres and styles. He is pretty much the alpha and omega of music. A keyboardist in an old band of mine once made a vow to listen to one zappa album per day, and did every Zappa album recording in around 3 months. He has never been the same psychologically!!!! One of my favourite nuggets of Zappa goodness - love the cheeky xylophone in it! [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4Rfce_8sPQ[/youtube]

Loved the movie and the silver staking was a bonus but did anyone think the guy living in the apartment below him (considering he was on the 3rd or 4th floor) would be kind of pissed at having a huge safe coming out of his ceiling?? Also all the talk of them using fake silver bars kind of pisses me off! I'm sure the movie had a pretty high budget and there was maybe between 100-1000 bars shown so why the hell didn't they just use real bars? It's not like they wouldn't have been able to sell them after! I can imagine they could charge an extra bit of a premium considering they were props in the movie! Oh well!
Thats awesome! Don't remember the soundtrack being this good at the cinema. Any recommendations on a best of cd to get me started 60 something lp's is a bit much unless you're a zappa stacker.......I'm sorry Jrandom.
I wonder if floor safe sales have increased since this hit the theaters. I sure would like to have one!
