Your phone was just guessing based on your industry.

I hardly consider myself to be automatic, but I do try to be vigilant.

Saw Looper myself yesterday. Not bad, a pretty good time travel and moral story. Good acting, and interesting near future tech. Love the cell phones, and the gas to solar car conversions.

My fave line is Bruce Willis (older John) while at a diner talking (intensively, BTW) with the younger John, whom he calls "Boy":

"I'm not going to sit here and talk time travel with you, and make little diagrams with straws."

Had such a GREAT movie marathon today. The Perks of Being a Wallflower (see it), Pitch Perfect (rent it), and Looper (why aren't you watching it right now!?)

Yep, great line. I really liked it.

I was very impressed they bothered (and largely succeeded) with JLG looking like a young Willis via make up/prosthetics and imitational performance.

Aside from that plus, and a particular casting bonus, it succeeded by not being what I expected, and by still being a fun time travel / noir tale with plenty of heart.

Ooh, I've seen part 1 and forgot about looking for the second two parts. Thanks, SM.

Very interesting!

I actually listened to the music and had all of the songs memorized before I saw the movie. This was around 1978 or so. My roomate had the album (yes, kiddies- it was vinyl back then), and we use to just sit and listen to it over and over. There may or may not have been something smoked at the time, I don't remember.

On paper I should be a huge Martin McDonough fan. In theory his style should tickle me but something about it just falls flat.

There was much that I admired as clever about In Bruges but ultimately I found the movie a bore with some good dialog and performances. I just got back from Seven Psychopaths and it didn't even have the good dialog, I was just bored throughout.

I've no interest in Seven Psychopaths, but I hold In Bruges in very high regard. I think most people missed that, and I consider it a semi-secret gem that I recommend everyone check out.
