Poll Inception or Looper? (50 votes)
Or
@ssjdarthplagueis: They're both fantastic.
I like both, even though that make up makeup they gave JGL in Looper made it hard for me heeh. I'm just burnt out on time travel, but the them of dreams isn't nothing all too new, plus Ellen page !
@darling_luna: I think the make-up and CG they did on JGL's face was great. I know it's polarizing, viewers either loved it or hated it, but I thought it worked really well.
@jaken7: It was kinda half right
*drifts off looking at pics of Ellen page*
@jonny_anonymous: That's kinky.
@bruxae: Joseph Gordon Levitt, Bruce Willis and Emily Blunt?
@bruxae: Joseph Gordon Levitt, Bruce Willis and Emily Blunt?
Lol I was going to say.
@bruxae: Joseph Gordon Levitt, Bruce Willis and Emily Blunt?
No.
Inception because I went crazy for the following summer after I watched it trying to be self aware when I was dreaming. Worked.
@theacidskull: My problem is Looper.
@theacidskull: Nothing about it makes sense. The timeline is so utterly f***ed that it couldn't function in absolutely any way except in the Dr. Who sense of "eh, time's weird that way." I ended up drawing a diagram a while back of all the intercepting and conflicting timelines and the whole thing is just a mess. The twist ending isn't smart, it's absolutely idiotic, whoever wrote that movie is an utter imbecile and deserves to be flogged, but instead made millions of dollars. That makes me angry.
@joygirl: I like inception more *is one of the cool kids*
@joygirl: I honestly can't think of anything that was too obscenely incorrect about it. Everything happened in a loop, that was the point. Only until JGL broke that loop. The only thing that's kind of a big hole is that, if the older Joe was the one that killed the kid's mom and set him on the path to become the big bad boss Rainman, how come there is a Rainman that exists in all of the futures where the younger Joe DID kill the older Joe. That's its only flaw (albeit a pretty big one).
Still, you're not a quantum physicist and time travel is only a theory. Getting worked up about it, hating the movie for it, and threatening everyone who likes it with an unfollow while insulting their intelligence probably isn't the best course of action.
You always have very weird things you're passionately offended by ;p

wow....
@joygirl: Also, it makes no sense to me that you're worked up about Looper's science when Inception has people visiting the same dream by...falling asleep at the same time? I'm not exactly sure how that works. Then it has them going into dreams of the people that are in the dreams, so on and so forth. Not to mention all the plotholes and suspensions of disbelief it asks of you. Be consistent with your rage Joy. Lol.
@jaken7: Inception was a mindscrew film, the point of it was to make you wonder what the hell was going on. And it was a little silly -- I wasn't a fan of the film. Looper on the other hand was a time travel film that absolutely balled all over time travel. It's not a matter of how the films performed, it's a matter of how the films performed for what they were supposed to be. Looper was touted as an intelligent time loop movie and it did a laughably pathetic job.
@jaken7: *tries to keep you more grounded after that joke heheh*
Personally I really couldn't follow either movie, I was just looking at colors

One of the most common things mentioned in reviews was that it doesn't try to explain the time travel, and knows you're going to question it, so it speeds up the pace to make sure you only question it in hindsight. It knows it doesn't make a lot of sense, and it doesn't care. It works that way. It was cheeky in the way it handled that.
"The reasoning behind all this may not reward prolonged inspection, but Johnson is smart enough to press onward with his plot, leaving us with neither the time nor the desire to linger over the logic"
- Anthony Lane, New Yorker
"If the whole thing leaves you rubbing your temples, just a bit... well, this headache's sort of worth it."
- Stephen Whitty, Newark Star Ledger
"This is a wildly entertaining film that isn't content with science and cinematic tricks. It desires, and achieves, much more."
- Will Leitch, Deadspin
"Despite its confusing logic and ornate storyline, Looper still grabs the audience with the raw emotional storyline on the farm and the constant popping back and forth in time. It's a head-scratching ride, but a fun one."
- Matthew Odam, Austin-American Statesman
"If it weren't for its gaping plot holes, this could be one of this century's best science fiction features."
- Wesley Lovell, Cinema Sight
^ Starts at the part I want you to hear. 6:35 is also important.
It has a 93% rating on Rottentomatoes, and those people get paid to review films!

That's the way to go about it!
