Dashiell Driscoll: Best of 20125 of 11
Looper
Funny Or Die is, if nothing else, a staff of people that spend 30% of their workweek talking about Back to the Future. Time travel movies are special because they remind you that you can always change your fate and the best ones (like BTTF2 and Looper) give you a semi-realistic glimpse into a future that you might not be lucky enough to see. Looper is set 30 years in the future and I can only hope that people 30 years from now don’t just re-make it out of predictable convenience. If Hollywood hasn’t burned to the ground by the year 2044, let’s hope the monoliths in charge realize that they got this one right in 2012 and there’s no need to mess with it.
