"LOOPER" (2012) Review

"LOOPER" (2012) Review Time travel can be a tricky topic for a fictional story. Some writers can do wonders with a story featuring time traveling. Some writers start out well end up creating a mass of confusion. And other writers . . . well, they end up simply creating a bad story. When I had first learned about the premise for the 2012 science-fiction movie, "LOOPER", I feared I was about to see a time travel movie with a bad plot.

According to writer/director Rian Johnson's tale, the United States is in a state of economic collapse in the year 2044. There is social decay, a high rise in crime and a mutation has developed within a small number of the Earth's population that gives them a telekinetic ability. Thirty years later, time travel has been invented, but immediately outlawed. Tracking technology has made it impossible for criminals to dispose of bodies. Crime bosses use illicit time travel to send their victims back in time, where they are killed by assassins called "loopers". These assassins are paid with silver bars strapped to the back of their targets. When the crime bosses want to end a looper's contract, they send his older self back to be killed by his younger self, paying the latter with gold bars as a last payoff. Failure to kill the older self is punishable by death. Joe Simmons is a looper in 2044 Kansas, whose boss - a time traveler named Abe - is sent back to the past to supervise him and his fellow loopers in the area. Best friend and fellow looper Seth tells Joe that he had failed to kill his old self and that the latter informed him of a criminal mastermind named the Rainmaker, who is closing down all loops. Joe eventually betrays Seth in order to maintain his secret stash of silver. Joe's older self eventually arrives from the past and Joe first kills him. But due to a tragic incident thirty years in the future, Old Joe changes time by escaping to the past on his own. He escapes and Joe tracks him down to a diner, where he tells Joe that the Rainmaker sent him back to be killed, and that Old Joe's wife was killed during his capture. Old Joe killed his captors and traveled back to kill the Rainmaker as a child. Joe attempts to kill Old Joe and fulfill his contract, but both of them flee when they are attacked by Abe's hit men or "Gat Men". Due to a piece of a map in Old Joe's possession, Joe finds a string of digits that leads him to farm owned by a woman named Sara, who lives with her son, Cid. Meanwhile, Old Joe uses the remaining digits on the map to track down the location of three candidates who might turn out to be the Rainmaker as a child. Old Joe intends to kill all three to prevent his future wife's death. Sounds complicated? Trust me, that was only the beginning. For reasons that escape me, Rian Johnson, along with Kimberly Amacker and the rest of the movie's makeup team decided to use prosthetic makeup to ensure that Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who portrayed the younger Joe Simmons, bear some resemblance to Bruce Willis. They hired Kazuhiro Tsuji for the job. Tsuji did his best in altering Gordon-Levitt's looks, but in the end, it all depended more on the actor's performance to make the transformation work. A part of me feels that his prosthetic makeup was not really necessary. Also, complicated time travel stories such as the one for "LOOPER" tend to turn me off. Dealing with the subject of time travel is bad enough. But I tend to view complicated plot twists, such as the ones found in "LOOPER" as impossible to follow. But thanks to Rian Johnson's direction and script, I found the movie surprisingly easy to follow . . . aside from one particular scene. I might as well talk about the latter. The sequence featuring Old Joe's first escape from death at the hands of Joe ended with the latter falling out of the window of his apartment. The movie never made it clear whether he lived or died. But the next scene featured Old Joe's reappearance at the fatal cornfield again. This time, Joe killed Old Joe, leaving me somewhat confused. Was there a time reset of some kind? It finally occurred to me that Johnson simply revealed that Old Joe had escaped death, left his fate a mystery . . . and then went back to how this scenario came to be. In other words, following Old Joe's second appearance in the cornfield, audiences learn of the circumstances that led to that moment - Joe's murder of Old Joe, his retirement as a looper, his years in China as a hired killer, his marriage and eventually, his wife's death. The latter drove Old Joe over the edge, and he set out time travel on his own, prevent his younger self from killing him and kill the younger self of the Rainmaker, before the latter can grow and cause the death of his wife. Now, I understood. Once I realized what was going on, I was able to enjoy "LOOPER" a lot more. Not only did Johnson create a fascinating tale in which time travel played a heavy role, he created some fascinating characters - especially the leading one, Joe Simmons. Johnson did an excellent job in showing how the time traveling not only affected Joe Simmons' character but was also responsible for the creation of the Rainmaker. I was amazed at how Johnson's story revealed the ugly consequences of time travel in a way no other writer or filmmaker has done before. His story also developed from the typical science-fiction action thriller into a poignant, character-driven tale about the consequences of grief and revenge. By the time I left the movie theater, I realized that I had seen one of the most original science-fiction thrillers in recent years. "LOOPER" also had the good luck to have some first-rate performers to grace its cast. The movie featured interesting performances from the likes of Paul Dano, who gave an emotional performance as the looper Seth, who set things in motion by warning Joe about the Rainmaker. I also enjoyed the performances of Noah Segan, who gave a colorful performance as Abe's main "Gat Man", Kid Blue, who is eager to earn his boss' respect by going after Joe; Piper Perabo's sexy take on showgirl Suzy; Qing Xu, who projected the perfect air of sensibility and calm for Old Joe; and Garret Dillahunt, who oozed intelligence and danger as another "Gat Man", who manages to track down Joe to the Kansas farmhouse. But there were performances that really impressed me. One of them came from Jeff Daniels, who was an absolute delight as the sharp-tongued crime boss Abe. His advice to Joe about relocating to China upon retirement turned out to be one of the movie's highlights. Emily Blunt acquired an impressive American accent for her role as Sara, the practical farm owner that gave Joe shelter. Not only was I impressed by her different accent, but also her performance and strong screen presence. I cannot say enough about Pierce Gagnon, the child actor who portrayed Sara's son, Cid. Gagnon gave one of the best child performances I have seen in years . . . and one of the creepiest. Of the entire cast, Joseph Gordon-Levitt had the most difficult role. Not only did he have to capture many aspects of Bruce Willis' portrayal of the older Joe, but also the older actor's speech pattern, body language and screen persona. And too my surprise, he stood up to the plate and knocked it out of the ballpark. I can also say the same Bruce Willis' performance as Old Joe. Sure, his usual wise ass screen persona was there . . . somewhat. But he also took his character beyond the usual persona and to greater heights by portraying Old Joe as a man caught up in his grief over a dead wife and obsessed with vengeance and determination to change time. I would not say that "LOOPER" was perfect. Instead of writing a clear and straight narrative that a story of this complexity needed, director-writer Rian Johnson tried to be a little clever in explaining Old Joe's arrival in the past. And I feel that the prosthetic makeup for Joseph Gordon-Levitt was unnecessary. But despite these quibbles, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this movie. Johnson, along with an excellent cast led by Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, delivered one of the most original movies I have seen in years.

The preliminary voting rounds are over!

Congratulations to our passing class of qualified seeds! The prelim master post has been updated to strikethrough all of our eliminated candidates, so that only our survivors remain. Check it out and give all of our winners a round of applause.

Some observations, from me, your poll-runner:

I was surprised on the very first day by the Hadrian Gang clinching second place for the ghoul in his two-qual prelim over Bruce Isaac! The Lonesome Drifter was the runaway favorite, but right away I was shown that I don't necessarily know who's the most popular.

Cpl. William Farber just barely pulled ahead of Lacey (who had a strong third for most of the poll) in the dead of night for that last qualifying spot in his round. Heartbreaking! Unless you're a fan of Cpl. Farber, which I was. Probably the most tense heat of the tournament so far!

In that same round, the Garrets had a roughly 40% share the entire poll, which doesn't sound like a lot until you consider that it was an eight-way prelim. That left, on average, a measly 8.5% for every other candidate if they all got even votes (they didn't). Definitely the most dominating lead in this whole prelim by that metric, I think.

Other crushingly dominant qualifiers include Violet; the most popular named Fiend character by a landslide; Troike, the only man in his qualifying bracket (the Omertas) who is neither a violent criminal or a rapist or both; and Marjorie, whose victory came as a significant final surprise for me in the prelims here on Tumblr, which I thought was the cannibalism transsexual eroticism website. Guess we run in different circles, voters! Or maybe we just play "Beyond the Beef" in our own way.

Finally, in the very first round, we all laughed and joked about the Angela Sweep, with Angela Williams getting a 90%+ lead on Thomas Hildern within minutes of the poll going live and never letting go. But folks, we hadn't seen nothing yet. There were many winners in the prelims, and there were even more losers, but there was only one ultimate loser. There is only a single character in this whole series of prelims who got not even a single vote: a big ol' goose egg, a fat zero, a little late addition to the numerical symbol chart brought to us by our friends in Arabia.

Congratulations to the least popular character in this entire tournament of minor Fallout: New Vegas characters: Captain Gilles, the NCR commanding officer at Bitter Springs!

Congratulations, Captain, uh........what's your name again? Or sorry that happened.

This'll be it from this blog for a little bit as I seed the surviving candidates along with all of our guaranteed seeds and prepare the bracket and other materials. Once the official tournament begins, designated cheerleading opportunities will also open up so that you can campaign for your favorites in bracket! So stay tuned! And remember, you're nobody 'til somebody loves you. And it's me. I love you.

When I opened the Ottomas House, the unprecedented happened: Bruce, the sixth Ottomas kid, autonomously apologized to his big brother Tommy for being a brat. Possibly this was precipitated by TOmmy moving into Sharla's old room. Tommy and Bruce are both good boys and they get along great with their sisters, but they have never been able to stand each other.

It was the weekend, and the Newson twins had stayed over, and Sharla dropped in out of nowhere, which is why there's so much kitchen dancing going on. But it's spring, and time for new wardrobes, so Samantha got The Girls together and went shopping in Bigg City. Peter ha to work, so she left Tommy in charge, and when the hardiest souls returned they found everything going swimmingly, and Georgia and Garret still hanging around.

"The oil and gas industry could stick taxpayers with a massive bill of between $2.9 billion and $17.7 billion," warned Public Citizen's Alan Zibel.

Fossil fuel industry-funded Republicans on the U.S. House Natural Resources Committee voted Wednesday to advance Rep. Lauren Boebert's bill that would saddle taxpayers with the massive cost of cleaning up oil and gas wells on federal lands.

"Corporations awarded a lease to drill on federal land must post a bond. If the leasing corporation abandons an exploration site, goes bankrupt, or fails to plug a well securely, the posted bond covers the cost of doing so," Public Citizen explained this week in a statement opposing the proposal.

The Colorado Republican's Restoring American Energy Dominance Act (H.R. 6009) would block a proposed rule from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) revising federal regulations "to update the fees, rents, royalties, and bonding requirements related to oil and gas leasing, development, and production" in line with the Inflation Reduction Act signed by President Joe Biden last year.

"Rep. Boebert is plainly on the side of the oil and gas companies that don't want to be held accountable for exploiting hardworking taxpayers."

Based on a BLM review of the costs to plug orphaned wells, the rule—strongly opposed by polluting oil and gas companies—would raise the minimum lease bond amount to $150,000 and the minimum statewide bond to $500,000. It would also end the use of nationwide bonds.

"Without these crucial protections, the oil and gas industry could stick taxpayers with a massive bill of between $2.9 billion and $17.7 billion," Public Citizen's Alan Zibel warned in a report published Tuesday in anticipation of the House committee vote.

"We already allow far too much climate-destroying fossil fuel drilling on public lands in Western states," Zibel added in a statement Wednesday. "The least we can do is ensure taxpayers don't get stuck subsidizing the fossil fuel industry's cost of doing business."

"Even as U.S. fossil fuel production soars to record levels," he said, "Republicans are doing the bidding of fossil fuel lobbyists by trying to block modest, sensible efforts to reduce blatant, long-standing giveaways in the system for leasing public lands for oil and gas production."

In the leadup to the vote, Accountable.US highlighted that the "Big Oil-backed, far-right extremists" on the Republican-led committee have taken at least $3.8 million in campaign contributions from the oil and gas industry during their political careers.

Rep. Garret Graves (R-La.) leads the pack with $850,945, followed by committee Chair Bruce Westerman (R-Ark.) at $416,575, based on the group's analysis of OpenSecrets data. Boebert, who is only in her second term, ranks sixth, with $121,150.

"Rep. Boebert is plainly on the side of the oil and gas companies that don't want to be held accountable for exploiting hardworking taxpayers," Accountable.US spokesperson Chris Marshall said Wednesday. "The American public can't afford to suffer from this broken, polluting system any longer."

Thanks to the panel's party-line vote, H.R. 6009 now moves to the House floor. It faces far better odds of passing the GOP-controlled lower chamber than the divided Senate—but even if the bill got through Congress, Biden could veto it.

While Biden—who is seeking reelection next year—campaigned on being a "climate president," he has come under fire from campaigners and frontline communities for continuing fossil fuel lease sales for public lands and waters, greenlighting the Willow oil project and Mountain Valley Pipeline, and blowing off COP28, the ongoing United Nations climate summit taking place in Dubai.

"Okay..." He made a pause. "In my defense, I let him in. I offered him a glass of whiskey, and we started talking about authors" He paused. "Do you know how hard it is to find someone with whom I can discuss Khan or Nitzche?"  Jason asked, trying to lighten the mood of the moment. "Bruce, Dick, and Tim are not the epitomai of literacy discussion." He joked and then got back to a more serious mode.

During his years being trained as part of the league of assassins and working as a freelance agent, Jason had developed quite an extensive repertoire of skills. When Alfred said whoever visited may not have the best intentions, Jason had to bite his inner cheek to not chuckle. If Jason knew something exceptionally well, that was business assassination and revenge. Yet, he didn't bring that to the talk not to make the conversation even worse than it already was.

"Ehm, well. Promise you won't tell Bruce this, or he will go bananas."  Jason exhaled, trying to explain how he knew what was happening. "After finding out who Garret was, I decided to research more about him. So, I got some information from our system and other places I know from my freelance time." Jason used a euphemism to refer to his time in the league of Assassins.

"With all due respect, they need to work a lot in their security. Someone tried to stab him while I was with him. It was not the crazy protester or something passional. The guy was a professional, that was for sure."  He commented as he showed Alfred his patched hand.

"So, that took me to continue looking for more answers. So, I used some resources I have." Jason commented as he placed screenshots about the website he still had access to. It was a bulletin board where anonymous bidders posted work for highly skilled assassins to eliminate a target. "Once you deliver evidence the job was done, you get the money" Jason paused. "We are talking about a lot of money, and I seriously mean it. This is not something a common mafia folk can afford." He commented and waited for the man's answer.
