Movie Review: Looper
I vaguely remember a snippet of a review that said Looper is basically No Country for Old Men meets Back to the Future, and actually that’s pretty accurate. It’s as if the time travel problems in Back to the Future had to be solved with suspense/action instead of comedy. Alternately, it’s the sci-fi version of No Country for Old Men, except it has a point.
From the trailer, I expected Rian Johnson’s Looper to be a fairly interesting sci-fi concept that got beaten up and destroyed by mainstream action, like the I, Robot movie or possibly The Adjustment Bureau…
NaNoWriMo 2012
Most people are procrastinators to some degree. So you’ve probably had this experience: once you’re coming up on a deadline for something, you can suddenly, magically do it.
That’s the idea behind NaNoWriMo. NaNoWriMo stands for “National Novel Writing Month”, in which participants from all over the world each attempt to write a 50,000-word story during the month of November.
Do, or do not. There is no “[attempt]”.
