Looper when they're "torturing" the one guy and his body parts are disappearing one after another.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

The whole Looper premise doesn't make sense.

Criminals in the future send people back in time to get whacked. If you get an abnormally large payout, that means you whacked your future self and are now retired.

Why have someone kill themselves with a large payoff? Why retire them? If they're retired in the future, why have them killed?

You have present day hitmen, A, B, and C. Future victims, a, b, and c.

A -> a, B -> b, C -> c results in stupid large payouts and retired killers.

A -> b, B -> c, C -> a has normal payoffs and no retirements.

Still doesn't explain why you wanted a, b, and c dead in the first place.

Looper is a great LOOKING movie, those shotguns were on point! Just don't go thinking about it for more than 5 minutes.

The part that pisses me off. "We can't kill people in the future because the forensics are too good." Then armed men come for him in the future. They can't kill him or they'll get caught, why are the guns a threat?

Can still shoot him? Could be stupid and kill him anyway?

In Rock 'n' Roll High School Forever, the scene where they go over to someone's house and pretend to worship their refrigerator doesn't further the plot or character development in any way.

The scene where Al Pacino gets slapped by a big black guy wearing only a cowboy hat and a jockstrap in Cruising (1980)

This Scene from Designated Survivor. I'm still chuckling when thinking about it.

The Office, Season 6, episode 20, “The Leads”. All the characters in this episode always seemed to me like they had a different personality for just this one episode. It really stands out IMO.

I was completely on Michael's side through that whole story. When Phyllis called him numb nuts, I think any other manager would have fired her ass. But they treat Michael like shit sometimes cause he's so forgiving.

Also after the Michael Scott paper company when Phyllis is crying that Michael claimed they were family but went after their customers, yeah Phillis? And what did you guys say when Michael treated you as family? You scoffed at him and brushed him off. So fuck you. Also hate how when you get a new customer you "got a new customer" but when you lose a customer it's "they STOLE the customer". There's no stealing here buddy, just a better salesperson

A lot of scenes are just thinly veiled commercials - why are we spending so much time looking at the front of a brand-new car the characters are getting into? It's always awkward and takes away from the scene.

Chicago fire. Stella and Severide being "away" longer than expected. Out of the blue ignoring the other one. I know the actors had other work to do, but it was sloppy writing.
