Looper review

Caught the Bruce Willis movie "Looper"..good entertainment, absolutely worth the $5.50 that I paid (did movie prices go down?). Included were elements of Terminator and Matrix along with Willis' movies ala Mercury Rising and Sixth Sense. Joseph Gordon-Levit is apparently having a career resurgence which is well deserved. Like Prometheus, this movie included what I thought was a fairly random sex scene brought on by the female lead's boredom. I'm not sure if this scene was included as some sort of feminist "ya women get horny too" bit, but with her 5yo sleeping in the next room, mom misuses a panic button to summon up Gordon-Levitts character for a roll in the sheets, who btw she has only known for less than 12 hours and had recently unload a shotgun into his chest. She's spent more time pointing a gun at him than speaking thus far but I guess she's in the mood and has nothing better to do so lets throw cation to the wind. It does leave open a possible plotline where that one time spawns a child..and with time travel movies that can have all sorts of ramifications. Shrug.

Quotes

At a certain stage the realization strikes through that one must either live outside of society's bonds or die of absolute boredom. There is no future or freedom in the circumscribed life and the only other life is complete rejection of the rules. There is no longer room for the soldier of fortune or the gentleman adventurer who can live both within and outside of society. Today it is all or nothing. To save my own sanity I chose the nothing.
