    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    More epic love for the film - http://www.aintitcool.com/node/58670

    LOOPER is a blueprint for excellent storytelling that can be learned from. Each scene progresses the film forward. Each line of dialogue carries meaning, and every character has purpose. There is no dilly-dallying or time killing… every single aspect of LOOPER does something, making for a full and satisfying movie experience. Rian Johnson manages to keep you on your toes, even as you try guessing what the end game is, something you may only have partial success doing. This is one I can envision getting better and much more rewarding upon subsequent viewings as you pick up the finer details that you may have missed the time before. LOOPER is amazingly rich, which translates to a pretty incredible film. This is one you absolutely must see in the present and many more times in the future.

    Saw it. Didn't quite live up to expectations for me (which were unfortunately high). Felt a little too talky and a little bit like a mash up of 3-4 other familiar films. But, still enjoyed it and will probably watch it again on bluray.
