I saw Looper two weeks ago and it was awesome, the day after I saw Jay-Z open the new Brooklyn Barclays Center (which was awesome in itself) my girlfriend and I went to a matinee show at the Court Street Theaters in Brooklyn. Here is what I loved and hated about the movie which I overall enjoyed the hell out of.
Loved:
- EVERYTHING!
- the future Paul Dano amputation scene - it set the movie up to go to some dark places. I heard someone describe this scene as very metal, which it indeed was.
- JGL's Bruce Willis makeup - set it up for a whole different experience, it definitely put me in another mind space to think that it actually was a young Bruce
- the 30 year sequence - holy cow, so brilliant, they could have just followed the movie to Bruce escaping and carry on but OH NO they take you into the whole separate timeline, this really set you up for what kind of ride this movie was going to take you on
- emily blunt - big fan, always enjoy her, nuff said
- the kid - the cutest killing machine apparently
- the chest burst scene - i literally squealed in delight at this
- jeff daniels
- bruce willis having to kill children - like i said, dark places
Hated:
- the Gat Man who keeps popping up was distracting, "this guy again?" was a common thread in my head. He moved the story along but I thought could have been worked around
- the stripper gf's kid is one of the three Bruce has to find? come on
Overall: A

PIzza Update
Allright ya'll, I've been eating so much pizza lately.
It has turned now more into just "yeah pizza IS great" but is now more "i literally don't want to eat anything but pizza." After work, late at night, I might venture to say that a slice of pizza relaxes me more than a post busy-night beer. Maybe not, but it's gotten pretty close.
New spots:
Finally went to Grimaldi's: albeit was the new Coney Island spot but it was till pretty dall gern good. However, my friends Chelsea, Dan and I fell prey to pizzas recurring victim, too many toppings. Watered it down and just didn't have that sauce heftness I love. Which leads me too....
Papa Johns you old so and so: gotten in the habit of ordering Papa John's online which is not only A) convenient but B) so delicious. It reminds me of home but gives me the worst acid reflux.
Rocky's in the Meatpacking District: the first time I went here was when I had a job as a busboy at a hotel restaurant in the area over a year ago. My new job is in the same area and I go here for a slice (let's be honest, two slices) afterwards more often than not. A classic case of pizza place by the subway stop familiarity.
Pizza you've done well, keep it up.
